Hey guys - I bought a copy of Evil Urges on vinyl from the Radio City show and LP1 is taco'd worse than anything I've ever seen before.
I remember previously reading that the release of EU on vinyl was pushed back due to warping. Has anyone else experienced this problem? If so, how have you remedied the situation? I am thinking of contacting band management to swap my copy for a non-warped one.
Any suggestions or info would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks - Jason
I'm having to go through the hassle of mailing mine back to Amazon because of the warping.
....I never got my copy at the record store I work at, and I called up our distributor and they said they was a problem with the copies and they were recalled....it must have been because they were warped....hope they figure that shit out because I want mine....
the new ones (unwarped version) are supposed to ship July 22nd the same as the It Still Moves rerelease. I was pissed I preordered mine a long time ago and never even got an email telling me that the date was pushed back.
They sell vinyls at the shows?!?!?! :D
How much?
.....the copy for the vinyl at the show was 20 bucks.......
Just Evil Urges or the other albums too? I might be dropping some cash at the show :)

They were just selling Evil Urges at RCMH. $20.
The record store around here recently got EU on vinyl non-warped. I've waited a week to spin it and I couldn't be more pleased!! [smiley=2vrolijk_08.gif]
I got mine recently and It was all good.
I know this is stupid but how do you know if its warped?Is it significant or a minor thing?

you should be able to see it if it when you look across the record if it's real bad. the best way is just to play it. if it's warped bad enough you will know.

I coinsidently bought one yesterday in five points and it looks okay but its playing slightly out of tune, I probably just need to adjust my record player's settings.
I get my vinyl in 5 points...that's where it's at in most cities, eh? Anyway, my EU is good to go.

The one Amazon sent me looked like a pringle... another one I got wasn't as obvious until played it.
I bought mine from Darla and got it back in June. It is pristine.....
Vespachick, I know you bought your copy from them also, how is your copy?
I just picked up a second EU LP today and it says ATO/Badman on the back of the jacket... I am not home right now but I though my first copy said "Rough Trade" the UK press.
anyone want to confirm? I didn't think Badman pressed EU.

Actually, I didn't buy EU from Darla (but did get the repressed TTF & AD). I STILL don't have a vinyl copy of EU. I was going to wait to buy local, but I'm still waiting because NOBODY HAS IT around here(as of Saturday!!!) >:( >:(

Oh shizzlebots, you are right! I did not get it from darla....sorry folks, I've been traveling a lot for work recently and my brain is fried.
Got my copy from Amazon.com.
Interesting that the repress is ATO/Badman. Dylan was not involved with the original press. I guess ATO learned the hard way. I might have to get another copy just to support Dylan......

hmmmm....just checked my copy from Amazon.com and it has ATO and Badman's logo on it. Got my info from the horses mouth that Badman didn't have the pressing job this time around. Next time I see Dylan, I will ask...
I checked both copies and all the etched codes match so it's from the same plates. The vinyl quality is pretty different though. Badman's is noticeably thicker... dunno if it's 180 gram thick but the Rough Trade is thinner. Nicer sleeves though on the RT.
I wonder which version Ear X is selling? We're probably gonna swing by there and pick up some vinyl goodies.

they sold me both copies I have. I got the Rough Trade the day it came out and the badman copy yesterday...
As always, a huge help - thanks, Kory.

no problem Brad. I've been in twice this week, they seem to be getting more and more vinyl in that place. They recently moved it all upstairs about 6-8 months ago and it seems they keep adding new racks all the time. I guess a lot of indie stores are like this though with the popularity of vinyl on the rise.
Vinyl is the way to go... a lot of artists are even including the CD with the vinyl, which is genius.
That little bonus might explain one of the reasons why Evil Urges has been in CIM's Top 5 in vinyl sales since the debut. I think it's down to #9, this week, but it may shoot back up as the tour edges closer.

I've been looking forward to going to this store since I got our tickets. There isn't really any good places to get new vinyl in Birmigham for a good price so I'm stocking up when we get there.
It's much worse in Tuscaloosa, man. We've got one store that sells vinyl - and the shelf is about a foot deep and six feet wide. Not a huge selection, in other words.
i got my EU vinyl the other day. ordered it from somewhere, elusive disc.com i believe. anyway, i got the deal with the LP/CD. i was thinking that they were separate, but in fact the cd is packaged inside the vinyl. i had not planned on opening it, so i guess i have to buy the cd again. hrm! sarsgraaarrrrddddd!!!!!!

You have got to be talking about OZ. That's where I pre-ordered EU and got it about a month late, but I was expecting it because of all the vinyl warping. I go there every time I'm in T-town and look around. The selection is about the same but Oz is much much cheaper. For some reason the two stores in Birmingham like to mark up the prices on their vinyl like crazy. It's very hard to get anything under 30 bucks regardless of the band up here. But yea I know what you mean about that little bin that you have to lean over to see what they have. I think someone just needs to open up an Ear-X or some store like that around here. Note to all of you entrepreneurs out there...

Bingo. I like Oz, but yeah, the bins are just sad. I've seen flea market booth with a larger, fresher selection of vinyl. Not hating on Oz, though, I hope someday it is economically feasible to cater towards folks like us, or build a big independent store like Ear X around here.
I bought mine through Tower records website and it is straight as an arrow (whew) and the vinyl is imppressively heavy--I assume 180 g
I ordered a second copy of okonokos on Amazon because I saw it for 35 bucks... they said it was the cd but I noticed the label was badman and it said 4 discs so I took a chance. I used free shipping and it shipped from Cincy on Friday. Arrived here this morning and it is in prostene shape. it was in a pretty big box but it was shrink wrapped to a piece of cardboard so it wouldnt' move around. Amazon has renewed my faith in ordering vinyl from them. Thought I'd share a positive story...
Does anyone know where the best place is to order this from to ensure that it's not warped? Recommendations?

EarXtacy will do you right...
Got my Evil vinyl at EarX yesterday... it's nice and thick (that's what she said!). One of the best sounding vinyl records I've bought.
