TTF, AD & EU on Vinyl June 10th

[Love Dogg]

 I'm going to give them out at Halloween. :)

Trick or Treat!!! ;)

[Kory]

just get 'em at ear X-tacy!

I'm hoping my box from Darla is waiting on my doorstep!

I just hope your doorstep is in the shade, Kory.  That sun and heat is a biotch.

nice and shady, should be here on Friday so I'll be trying to step out at lunch to pick them up for a mid day treat!

I don't know if any of you are in the Seattle area, but last week Sonic Boom had 10+ copies of At Dawn while Easy Street had a few copies of Tennessee Fire. I'm pretty sure Easy Street has At Dawn now, they said they'd probably get an order in this week. However I didn't see anymore copies of Evil Urges at either location when I went late last week.

Good luck!

Does anyone have an Evil Urges vinyl copy yet?

Does anyone have an Evil Urges vinyl copy yet?

yes. picked up locally though, not via mail order.

Is it warped?

[Kory]

Is it warped?

nope, played it last week and it sounds amazing! Earlier in this post I mentioned that the sleeves were plastic lined and someone else said their's were just paper sleeves... I wonder if the ones with paper were the batch that got damaged? I think Amazon just doesn't know how to store vinyl. They probably keep it in a 120 degree warehouse.  :o

I just checked my EU vinyl from Amazon - it doesnt have plastic sleeves, its more like a glossy paper sleeve inside and out. Do you mean like a cello liner? I am thinking the paper batch is no good.

My disc 1 is warped way more than 2, and as i mentioned before the inner jacket is all bubbled and bent up near the fold.
ARRrghhh.....amazon sucks. and i have tried ordering from Tower before, but everytime, everything is backordered. In fact, I have an order from 02/08, they never sent me updates or anything, I emailed them about it, and they just cancelled my order. Nice of them to take my money then not send me anything - and still no refund from them, i'm going to call them tomorrow to see what the hell is up - any suggestions anyone?

Yeah, avoid Tower at all costs. They are now run by someone (Caiman) who was an ebay seller with a super low rating. Try and get your vinyl from a local indie shop if you can.

my AD & TTF from darla is stuck in Illinois due to "Adverse Weather Conditions" WTF! I should have just went to EarXtacy.

[blueskyink]

Yeah, I have a similar problem, my TF got misplaced at the warehouse and got delayed 2 days for delivery.

Just got my Evil Urges from Amazon. As expected, it is totally warped and absolutely unplayable. A real disappointment for me and Meg... The plastic cover on the CD that was packaged with it had gotten so hot in storage that bubbles were melted into it.

[lisaskye]

The music store here in San Diego is back ordered due to warped vinyl.
I am on the list, she said about 3 weeks....  I am waiting...

Question - and by the way I just got TTF and AD from Darla and no warped vinyl, so awesome...but my question is, TTF, AD and ISM all sound AMAZING, but Acoistic Citsuoca is one of the worst-sounding records I own...is the gold version any better-sounding than the red one I have??

Question - and by the way I just got TTF and AD from Darla and no warped vinyl, so awesome...

Got mine today, too. It's slightly warped, but listenable, thankfully. I already have to return my Evil Urges to Amazon for being ridiculously warped, so I'm too fed up with warped vinyl to bother sending this back to Darla. The packaging is all banged up and shit, too...

but my question is, TTF, AD and ISM all sound AMAZING, but Acoistic Citsuoca is one of the worst-sounding records I own...is the gold version any better-sounding than the red one I have??

I have all three variations and they all sound exactly the same. I thought the recording sounded fine, though.

Actually, I didn't even bother listening to the blue... but I assumed it's all the same.

Brad, I'd send that back to Darla... you don't want warped vinyl in any way. I ordered two of each from Darla and the arrived in immaculate condition. My Evil Urges came from the local store and they have a ton of them if anyone needs one... earx-tacy.com

More than anything, I'm irritated at the banged up covers. Doesn't look like it was done in the shipping process, but I couldn't say that for a fact. The Darla vinyl isn't warped so much that it distorts the music, at least not noticeably... so I'm not too rushed to send them back - I'm just a really busy guy right now and sending three vinyl records back to their respective vendors is going to waste a lot of my time and money.

I think for now on, if I can help it, I'll only do business with Ear-X and Badman.

[Kory]

just give em a call, I think Darla will do you right. I talked via email with them after mine didn't ship for a few days and they were ultra cool about it.

I checked the site today, they didn't have any up for sale, would they have them in stock and just not post it on their website?

[blueskyink]

Got my TF today, was extremely excited, started listening to it, and my girlfriend asked why it was moving up and down as it played, I took a look at it and realized it was warped...not very happy. It doesn't bother me that its a little warped, it doesn't really effect the sound, but I'm not entirely thrilled about paying $29 for a warped record.  I am going to check out all the discs from Darla, and contact them.  Brad I'll let you know what they say about it, I know yours was the same.
