Oh yeah, I sent an email Friday right after I tried to play the records. I don't expect to hear back until next week, if that soon.
"...it's gonna be great -- I mean me coming back with the band and playing all those hits again"

+1 here. Disc 1 off-center (the needle shouldn't be moving 1/4" left-to-right while the disc spins), Disc 2 warped significantly. Both discs will track but at times just barely, can see the stylus moving around in ways I usually do NOT see.

Caseydog

I guess I should open mine to check

this is the reason the evil urges vinyl didn't come out for a whole month after the cd...sorry to hear everyone...apparently i got lucky because i haven't been able to find anything wrong with mine. i did notice that mine has an ato - 0105 etched into each record alongside some quote i can't remember off the top of my head. check and see what number all of yours has on it. i was wondering if i had number 105 i the pressing or if they all have that on them

Mine is 105 too, so it must just be the ATO number for this album.

Mine is a little warped but plays fine. However there was a little surface noise on Victory Dance. But mine for the most part is very listenable.

people romanticize, talk about a warmth, a richness of sound, how album artwork was better with a larger canvas, whatever...i don't really get it, etiher.   vinyl to me means scratches, hisses, pops, and the sound of a needle passing through a groove.

having said that, in my computer room i still have my trusty 30 year old technics direct drive slq-200 turntable with a fairly new cartridge hooked up to my 33 year old pioneer sx-650 receiver with 33 year old (twice refurbished) pioneer hpm-40 speakers, so as soon as it arrives i'm ready to spin the black circle.     


yeah, my vinyl is slightly warped, too.  ever watch your woofer as the needle passes over those bumps?    hear that constant "whoooosh" sound between tracks?

i bought the deluxe package as more of a souvenir than anything.  once the download arrives, i doubt those records ever come out of the box. 

please don't take this as a complaint....i knew what i was buying when i bought it, though i should have said "spin the green circle."

The download should be in the 2nd record sleeve unless you were just referring to the live T5 tracks

the download link didn't work for me when i first tried it last week, i assumed the files wouldn't be available until tomorrow.   tried it again, works just fine.   now i've got some burnin' to do.

I emailed about the vinyl also and my download code doesn't work so I emailed the company too. I hope someone gets back to me.

I sent an email to: info@topspinmedia.com just informing them of the problem.

Hope this helps. I think they will have to address this somehow.

that is dl is just the free download with the pressed album, the download of the album that was apart of the pre-order was emailed to us today and had an option to be in an lossless format

My 2nd lp is slightly warped. Nothing major but since i paid over $100 for this i'd love a minty copy right out of the box.

Haldon

add me to the list....the first LP is slightly warped...causes some issues during victory dance and circuital...haven't noticed much difference with side B of the LP
