    I ended up with the Friday Music versions of Deep Purple's Burn and Elvis 68 Comeback special. I also grabbed Elvis At Stax.

    How can you tell the Clearly Classic titles? Most of the Stones Vinyl I clicked on was 2009 abkco which wouldn't be the Clearly Classic pieces.

    I ordered all these 16 records+ the vinyl grab bag yesterday, none were backordered when I ordered them:

    Carissa's Wierd Ugly But Honest (Reissue) Vinyl 2xLP

    Colin Stetson New History Warfare (Full-Length) Vinyl LP

    Donato Dozzy and Nuel The Aquaplano Sessions Vinyl 2xLP

    Harald Grosskopf Synthesist | Re-Synthesist Vinyl LP+CD

    Jim O'Rourke Bad Timing Vinyl LP

    Melt Banana Cell-Scape Vinyl LP

    Miles Faint Hearted Vinyl 2xLP

    Secret Pyramid Movements of Night Vinyl LP

    Shed The Traveller Vinyl 2xLP

    Sight Below Glider Vinyl 2xLP

    Silent Servant Negative Fascination Vinyl LP

    Supersilent 10 Vinyl LP

    Supersilent 11 Vinyl LP

    The Humble Bee Henrietta Vinyl LP

    Yob The Great Cessation Vinyl 2xLP

    Circle Taantumus Vinyl 2xLP

    Various Artists Vinyl Grab Bag 5xLP

    Cost $214 for all of them including shipping, the shipping cost $34 but the 10 percent off coupon helped with it.

    I just checked and now today almost all of these are currently backordered, the only ones that are still in stock that I purchased are the Silent servant, the Melt banana, and The humble bee ones.

    "Through The Past Darkly" and "Get Yer Ya Ya's Out" are the clearly classic titles I can see.

    I've gotten the ups tracking number for my order--I had upgraded to second day air because it was only about $3 extra--and it's supposed to be delivered by 8pm tomorrow. So they're shipping fast on the in-stock titles.

    I've never had any trouble with their customer service.

    So if my order now says "backordered" Does it mean somebody beat me to it or they haven't shipped yet?

    Thanks for the heads up. I grabbed the Elvis Jailhouse Rock Audio Fidelity. Mastered by Kevin Gray, should sound pretty good, no? $15.78 including shipping is not bad...

    You're welcome. I thought people might miss this. It's supposed to sound great.

    I'm guessing The Beatles stereo box cd set will sell out after word gets out here.

    That Elvis title shows up as backordered for me. Let us know if you get a shipping notice.

    My box was sitting on my stoop when I went out to pick up the mail at about 2:15, perfectly packaged and containing everything I ordered. (When it's only the distance from Brooklyn to Boston, two-day air is actually one-day air.) And now to listen!

    So, even though they show at 50% off, any backordered titles don't apply for the discount?
    Currently, I have three in-stock and ten on backorder. $27 to ship. If the majority of b/o'ed titles are cancelled, am I still charged the $27?

    If I were you, I'd simply delete anything shown as backordered. My experience with Insound has always been that at least 75% of the time, backordered items never ship.

    Well, if all the backorders are actually cancelled this sale would be a fiasco. Hope that's not the case. :sigh:

    I've already had email notice of two items on my order being removed. Both items were listed "in stock" when I ordered, but are now "out of print."

    I did not place any backorders. That would surprise if they shipped those at the sale prices.

    I got the last copy of one item a few nights ago and only just got notice that my order was processed. I'm sure they were inundated with orders and are struggling to straighten everything out.

    I think their inventory system must be in real time, at one point I had several items in my cart, all in stock when they were added. As I was browsing several of them went in a back ordered pile in the checkout page. I removed them and just ordered what in stock, my order shipped everything.

    I got an email saying 9 of the 17 records I bought shipped, they said the others are on backorder, even though they said they were in stock when I bought them :rolleyes:. They charged me $22 for shipping for the 9 even though it was like $35 for 17 records before. They didn't even bother sending me a tracking number.

    This is what they sent me:

    Hello,

    1 Colin Stetson - New History Warfare (Full-Length) (LP)

    1 Secret Pyramid - Movements of Night (LP)
    1 Sight Below - Glider (2xLP)
    1 Silent Servant - Negative Fascination (LP)
    1 The Humble Bee - Henrietta (LP)
    1 Yob - The Great Cessation (2xLP)
    1 Various Artists - Vinyl Grab Bag (5xLP)

    Your have been charged $109.59 for this shipment.

    The following items are in your order but have not been shipped yet:

    1 Carissa's Wierd - Ugly But Honest (Reissue) (2xLP)

    1 Supersilent - 10 (LP)

    1 Circle - Taantumus (2xLP)

    These other items are either on backorder or are pre-orders that haven't arrived yet. They will be shipped to you when they arrive in stock. You are only being charged for items that have shipped. You will be charged for the backordered items when they ship, too.

    If you find items that you have ordered missing from this invoice, they may have been removed from your order. These items are out of print or temporarily unavailable, and you will not be charged for these removed items. The packing slip contained in your shipment will reflect these changes to your order.
