    I feel I've got to stick up for Soundstage a little bit here.

    As a retailer, they never enjoy cancelling their customers’ orders and always strive to get each customer the items they purchased. They were solicited to sell these titles as pre-orders by their distributor, and once they hit their allotment, they marked the items as out of stock. Unfortunately, the records were pulled from them at the last minute, and they did not receive a single unit of their allotment. This is extremely disappointing to them as well, as it has a direct negative effect on them as a retailer. They're very sorry for any inconvenience this has caused for their customers and are happy to help in any way they can.

    I just couldn't sit back and watch the pile on without someone explaining the situation from their side.

    Japan mini lp cds are out today and here's what they look like.
    Was hoping they'd replicate the record labels as well, but alas not to be......

    They DID replicate the labels.

    The NEW labels.

    I must admit, this is the first time I've seen mini CD replicas of a current pressing.

    My uDiscover tracking says out for delivery. Well Amen and Hallelujah. I wonder how many will be damaged or have quality issues.

    Are the color re-issues available anywhere online right now? I don't see them on Amazon sadly.

    Canadian uDiscover cancelled my order on release day, despite me ordering on October 10th! They'll not be getting another nickel out of me!

    Wow...I'm considering myself very fortunate to have gotten my bundle so quickly. What's been happening here is my worst nightmare.
     
  14. They were only through indie stores and Universal with a couple of online sellers who also have online retail. Amazon was never an option.

    All 8 arrived in perfect condition! Amazing considering it was the worst shipping job I have ever seen. I could actually see all the contents through the sides of the box which looked like it was taped by a 3 year old.

    UPS driver knew from the contents they were the McCartney colored vinyls so placed them on the passenger seat for safe keeping

    That's the main reason I was hoping soundstagedirect would come through since I know they will do a decent job with packing

    I believe in the UK the coloured vinyl albums were only available through Universal. I do not believe any independent stores got them.
    I do hope the folk who want/ordered these get them as it seems there were enough to go around given that Universal in the UK still had them for sale after the release date.

    I believe these were limited to the number that were ordered. The demand was higher than expected, hence the delays for the online orders.

    The Beatles Christmas messages box set seems to be sold out everywhere.

    I know... I have a 3 year old. He’s amazing. He knows all the words to I’m Still Standing. I’m proud.
