TTF, AD & EU on Vinyl June 10th

[Kory]

I canceled my 2 At Dawns and 2 Tennessee Fires from Amazon because it say they weren't shipping until the 16th. I then ordered from Darla and they have already shipped. I'm glad they adjusted their shipping rates and I'm glad to give them my money directly.

I didn't cancel my amazon "At Dawn" and "TTF" from amazon and my "At Dawn" has shipped and will be here tomorrow....however, "TTF" has not shipped yet.  Amazon has already shipped (and I have received) my EU...awesome.

Two questions:

1. I ordered TTF and AD from tower on the 10th and they still haven't shipped.  Thing is, I'd rather just go ahead and order them from Darla or wherever and get them in already, but tower has already charged my card.  Their web site, however, now says they are out of stock!!  Now, are they now obligated to fulfill my order since they've charged me already or could they now possibly string me along for a few weeks and then refund my card saying they're all sold out?  I've been wanting these records for too long to allow that to happen!

2. Has anyone been able to do a comparison in sound quality on these new reissues and the original OOP pressings?  Which is better?  Any substantial difference either way?  Just curious.

Darla is the way to go. I got mine on the 10th. It was cool to seem them selling the two LPs at Bonnaroo in the music store tent.

Got my EU vinyl from Amazon and it's fucked up.  Folded sleeve.  One is warped.  They are fucking lucky I don't have a record player. ;D

[Angry Ewok]

Still nothing from my order. Fucked up.

I went to my local record store and they basically said they won't be getting it until the July date, which is when I will be getting my from my online order.

Amazon shipped At Dawn, I should be getting it today, but didn't send my TF, so I ordered it from Darla, who should ship today.  I will probably just get both of them and sell the second one I get on ebay or something, I believe that there are only 1000 being pressed of these.  Can anyone confirm this?

Also what is the deal with Darla's shipping costs?  $10 for standard USPS and $9 for UPS, which should be more expensive than standard shipping.  Oh well its not too bad, well worth it to get my vinyl.

I called tower today after a week had gone by with no shipped items.  They charged my card immediately but never sent my vinyl.  When I called they informed me that they had basically put my vinyl on backorder without any notification to me of any kind that they were no longer in stock.  I told them how shady I felt this was considering these records are very limited and they'd be very lucky to get another shipment of them.  I canceled my order with tower and re-ordered from Darla.  One quick call and they let me know they had them physically on-hand and that they would go out within 24 hours.  It ended up costing $15 more that way, but it just goes to show that you get what you pay for.

yep, I think i have finally learned my lesson with the big boxes... saving money isn't always what it's cracked up to be. I paid about 10 bux extra to cancel Amazon and go with Darla but I'm sure I will be much happier when I get them from the horses mouth.

Still nothing from my order. Fucked up.

Same here.  I just checked the order status from Amazon. Last week it said 'ships June 16th'. Today it says 'we'll let you know when we have an estimated ship date'.    :-/

just cancel now and give darla a call. Remember to pick ups for shipping as it's WAY cheaper that USPS on their site.

just get 'em at ear X-tacy!

I should have but I pre-ordered and thought they'd be out. But I was in there on Saturday and just like I would have bought... they had two of each. One of the At Dawn copies had some messed up ink on the cover, like it printed wrong and had banding on it...
I'm hoping my box from Darla is waiting on my doorstep!

I got an e-mail saying they were sorry it was damaged but they couldn't replace it because they don't know when they will be getting more, so would I just like a refund.

Ditto.

I guess I'll take Darla over nothing at all. Meh.

So I think we've all learned a valuable lesson:
[size=24]Pay a little bit extry and support independent music shops![/size]

[BH]

You are so right VC.

However, I would like to report that amazon sent me an e-mail apologizing.  They have already issued me a credit and told me not to bother sending the warped one back.   Maybe some day it will be a collectors item! ;D  Touch Me Part I might sound kind of cool with a warble.  Now I'm going to have four copies of the CD!  I'm going to give them out at Halloween. :)

I got my At Dawn from Amazon yesterday, they are the most wasteful packagers I have ever seen, the box was probably about 24x12x5,  they had so many air bubbles it was ridiculous.  Acoustic Vinyl has great packaging, never wasteful.

On to the record, it seems that the gatefold isn't quite right, when there is no lp in one of the sleeves it gets all contorted and warped, its weird, after you put the record back in it almost goes back to normal, but I can't really complain I have AD now and can't get enough of it.

Darla also shipped my TF today via UPS but the delivery time is pretty long, I'm not getting until the 24, oh well at least I am getting it.

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