My 7" arrived today from Rough Trade, it's a dirty white vinyl with odd murky marks and spots in the vinyl and dust/specks on the surface. The edges are rough and it plays with s fair amount of crackle and hiss.
Have I been sent the runt of the pressing? has anyone actually played their copy - Very Dissapointed!
I had to use airmail to the USA, so god knows what the return postage will be. I'm visiting Rough Trade in NYC this weekend, so may take it with me for a refund.
You included I think if I were the band, I'd want to know too. They were good enough to let everyone who ordered know about the delay which shows they actually care about quality ( a rare thing these days). Hope they can help out. In the meantime stay tuned & perhaps you'll get some answers
It'll be the MP3 download burned to CD in a photo copied cover.
Yep. Promo releases usually have the words "For Promotional Use Only" on them & I am still puzzled as to where US.A is, let alone what blue wizardry "vynil" is. Anyone told the band yet?

Steve and Mort, a quick update:
Rough Trade, Brooklyn, couldn't do anything for me as they have no contact with the Online store
Chris, however has arranged for a replacement and it is already on it's way to me. Looking forward to seeing it on the the porch in the next couple of days.
Need to make a little cubby hole for the mail man to put it in though - There's major thunderstorms at the moment - don't want it soaked!
Thanks for all your help and offers, I shall let u know when it arrives.
