    Did anyone get a new cover / sleeve sent to them?

    I did...mine was banged up really bad. Seam splits and crushed corners galore. I sent detailed pics of the damage and I ended up getting the record and the cover/sleeve shipped together.

    It was the 10c "exclusive digital content" that suckered me, plus possible colour variations....so it was a risky bet .

    Today marked the first day I did not look for the vinyl when picking up the mail. Amazingly, five minutes later, someone knocked on the door to deliver the replacement for the faulty copy I bought in the local store.

    Two copies at home, but still nothing from 10C...

    On Nov 8th, I emailed 10C about not getting LB vinyl at all since I got confirmation email on Oct 11or so. Got an automatic reply on the same day. But still, no vinyl, and no email about anything from them. Writing to UMG right now.
    ... I am not in the business of being liked anymore ...

    I bought mine around the release date and it arrived last week...so yours should be arriving anytime soon!

    Can you pm me their contact info? I'm still waiting for mine too and I got the same automatic replies from 10c that you got.

    My order arrived in Australia today it contained one red vinyl in sleeve (yes with some problems) and another red vinyl supplied separately and unsolicited. Thank you Ten Club for the proactive measure guess you got to some of these before they got shipped.

    Mine also arrived to Melbourne Australia today, red vinyl replacement included with red vinyl album. Definitely a big difference in the quality of the vinyls. The original has lots of ripples and pot holes in the vinyl and played OK but I did notice some pops here and there (no skipping though). The replacement is perfect and sounded miles better than the original copy.

    The cover was fine, a slight bend on the right bottom corner and some sort of white dusty mark that won't rub off on the inner gatefold. No splitting like others had described.

    It makes me wonder, did it take so long to arrive because our albums got rerouted back to the manufacturer to add the replacement vinyl before shipping to Australia?? anyways after a lot of frustrating waiting, I finally got it and I am super stoked.

    Got the same here in Norway today to.. Two reds.. Was awfully surprised when I saw the extra record thrown in there and thought I was the luckiest MF out there, but I guess there are more than a few of us :shock: :D Go 10C!

    happy to report that ups delivered a complete replacement today! i was expecting only a new jacket and sleeve, but the vinyl was included as well. now i have the original damaged copy, the replacement vinyl in the plain black sleeve, and a new complete copy. this one is spinning now and sounds perfect. it was shipped in a higher quality mailer, so there is no damage to the jacket. they also took care to remove the vinyl from the sleeve before shipping.
    very happy with UMG and the tenclub for their handling of this situation. hope everyone else ends up as satisfied as i am!

    thank you 10 C.

    Yes

    Got a reply to my latest email: They say they have re-sent the order on Nov 14, 2013 and that it may take an additional 4-8 weeks to arrive. :roll:

    I guess I'm not alone at least ;)

    Just received my vinyl (from the original order) here in Brazil last week. It plays well... until the last track, Future Days. It “jumps” a few times and then it gets stuck, repeating and repeating the same two seconds. It’s like it’s scratched, though I can’t see any scratches on the surface. It was so frustrating, after all this delay, to hear this problem exactly on the last song...

    Anyone received a copy with this same problem?

    I already sent an e-mail to the address that 10 Club recommended, but got no answer yet.

    :D:D:D IT CAME IT CAME IT CAME!!!!!!! :D:D:D

    Arrived home tonight to a hefty package from Seattle - the actual album, a spare vinyl in plain black sleeve, and an extra inner sleeve all shrinkwrapped.
    Guess my order that was 'shipped' on Oct 10th got pulled back...

    Outer cover has tiny blemish on one corner, nothing I would ever complain about seeing as it has travelled 1000s of miles, bought other albums brand new locally in worse condition!!!
    Inner sleeves, lyric book, sticker sheet & both records look immaculate!!

    The turntable is warming up now, might have time for a side before I have to go out again.....!!!

    I think they weren't sent at all. The shipping notification was sent before they even got the records in, like when they printed the labels or soemthing in preparation. So, once they knew there was a problem they must've held some of them back until they got replacements and then just added them to the package and sent at a later date. That's my theory anyway.

    Now, why so many of us got double reds is a mystery to me!

    Finally arrived, with replacement vinyl, inner sleeve. Opened the original and all looks good, including stickers, have yet to spin it. Original vinyl looks a bit rippled to the centre. The packaged looked licked it had been opened and re sealed. Sadly no red wax, hey ho.

    Seems like a lot of reds have been sent to Europe. Crazy that some people got two!

    Makes me think the red ones won't be so rare after all.

    Just to be clear, the first copy is damaged. I am just happy that the replacement was added to the shipment. It takes a long time for stuff to arrive over here. So if a replacement was needed to be ordered after the first one arrived, then I may not get to play it until january.
