The only thing Warners should get flack for (besides this stupid pre-auth B.S.) is that some people didn't get liner notes in their copies...oh yeah, and the paper sleeves.

Oh OK. Thanks .I was not sure where they were pressed.Yes I heard of URP .I'm surprised the place is still there.

On people who did not get liner notes and sleeve.Thats a QC problem.
I've received records with out sleeves back in the 1980's.

Yes UPS should pay for the damages on the warp records.

Yes I dont understand WM way of doing these pre-auth crap.They should just charge the purchaser at the time of sale and if there is any issues having the product in stock at the time of shipment they can just back order it or cancel at that time if sold out and just send the money back to the card holders account.

really sorry people are having soo many problems, such a good album

I received an e-mail saying there is a slight delay in delivering my CD bundle, and the expected despatch date is the 6th. Hopefully it will be no more than a day late. It was good to get an e-mail from them, reminding me my CD is not too far away

I'm trying to not listen too much to the soundcloud/streaming, so I can still enjoy some surprises on the album. I haven't yet listened to every song (almost....).

I can't complain about Warners UK. I changed an order and the customer service was incredibly helpful and efficient. Sorry to hear about all the problems others are having.

Of the songs I have heard so far in this latest soundcloud batch, Mabel Normand is my favourite....how great is this song?!! I love the intro, and Stevie's ramblings and the guitar all the way through.

Actually, URP presses almost 75% of big name label artists/band's projects that are released on vinyl. And a lot of indie bands from across the country get their stuff pressed there as well.

...the more you know...*

Wow.Thanks for the info.I'm so happy that they are still alive.I hope the vinyl trend keep on going and FM will follow suit with a vinyl release .

I would not mind working there.

I did alittle homework and found their website.

If there is a link with a tracking # then it's been shipped.

Feather Blade · #**128** 10-03-2014, 09:07 AM

I got an e-mail too, complete with two tracking numbers. I guess they broke out the Litho and/or the photo book separately. Hooray! I've listened to the standard version streaming on Amazon, but I still have the two deluxe tracks to look forward to, and all the artwork as well.

Yeah, if they're doing it the same way the did the IYD version, then the Lithograph should be delivered in a mailing TUBE, hence the two separate packages.

Lol, you would not believe this (or maybe you would). I've been out of town for the past two weeks doing wildland firefighting on the King Fire (my first time!) with very little internet connection, and even though it was an amazing adventure, I was also missing all the awesomeness leading up to the release. I've still only heard the first two singles and some snippets.

So now I'm finally home and ready to listen, and I just got my vinyl in the mail from Amazon today, and I was really excited, and lo and behold... an entire record is missing. Yep, no side 3 and 4. Of course, Amazon is out of stock, and there's no telling when a new shipment will come in, so I didn't see any point in getting them to send me a new one. I'm trying my luck with a different seller, but most of them seem to have very few in stock too. Fingers crossed, I guess.

I would get the defective item. Well, at least I got liner notes...

WTF maybe I should open my vinyl up and have a look-see. I don't even have a record player but I bought one anyway.

Just received my email that the photobook CD & Litho has shipped. According to the tracking numbers, just like the vinyl, it looks like the CDs were pressed here in Nashville as well...or LaVergne, which is a little town that borders Nashville.

Too bad UPS doesn't deliver on weekends or else I'd be getting this tomorrow. LOL Can't wait to thumb through the photobook!!!

Same place the "IYD" DVD bundle was mailed from...UPS will ship most of the way then it goes to USPS and will arrive in the mail...

studyinscarlet · #**134** 10-03-2014, 02:41 PM

Mine is shipped. I emailed on the first to see if I could cancel the order and got email saying 'can't do that. It's packaged and 'ready' for shipping'. Yes, stupid Warner bros., I let my checking account go below price of CD and need another day for check to get into account. I hope this thing doesn't cost me an insufficient funds as well. Wahh wahh.

tothegypsy · #**135** 10-03-2014, 02:45 PM

Their system is quite interesting. I currently don't have enough funds in my account for the bundle I ordered, and I also don't have overdraft protection. However, their authorization has expired, and they appear to have sent the bundle via UPS anyway.
