Has anybody experienced receiving “cutouts” from Amazon before? (Amazon US, not third party)

I have recently received 2 lps which are cutouts, strategically disguised by stickers.

one was horrible condition, so is going straight back.

the other I’ve decided to keep as apart from the cutout it seems new.

Any other experiences of this?

 

JB’s currently have it priced at $32.99, so good deal.

 

Cut out like it has a saw mark? or...

 

Yep.
1 was a saw cut
The other was a corner cut

 

Worth a call to Amazon peeps because that's actually something they should not be doing. You could be rewarded for pointing this out.

 

Yeah that is def not right - Ive never had one ever like that. Something funny going on there

 

Thanks mate, grabbed this and the kinks! I have never heard this, as a fan of Deavid Allen this was always a little outside of my time frame but looking forward to this!!

 

Tangerine Dream


Pilots Of Purple Twilight (10CD)

$152.67

https://www.amazon.com.au/gp/product/B08FP3SP9Q/

Superb box set.

 

I will do.

I was suspicious at first because of the wrapping which did not strike me as original (the resealable type) , and secondly stickers that had been placed on the front an back of the sleeve. On the front there was an "original 80s metal" sticker and then on the rear and oversize barcode.

Once I had a closer look it was obviously the stickers were placed to disguise the cutouts and corner notching. Even going to the trouble of placing plain white stickers on the inside of the sleeve so the cutout's are evident looking inside the sleeve.

I suspect they are titles that have been sourced from the website 'oldies' as I have seen these same titles on there before for dirt cheap, but have also read much of their clearance stock is badly heat affected. Sure enough, first one I opened is dished enough to use as a chip bowl.

For reference the titles were Hurricane - Over the Edge and Attila - Rolling Thunder.
Hurricane was severely dished. Attila seemed better.

SONG TO COMUS - COMUS 2XCD

$AU21 One of the best acid folk albums you will hear, really dark and menacing stuff, highly recommended! It says one CD but this is a double cd set including their second album. Last one left! Aussie stock

David Bowie Brilliant Adventure 1992-2001 18 CD box $186 https://www.amazon.com.au/dp/B09HCG...olid=1BVJFZIKQ6BJO&psc=1&ref_=gv_ov_lig_pi_dp

Still not cheap, but it has decreased by about $40 since the pre-order was posted last week.

 

Oops, 11 CDs!

 

It’s so long ago I can’t remember what we paid for the last set?

 

Me neither, but I suspect something similar in pre-order, and then of course it was heavily discounted for a while.

 

Unless you’re desperate to get the set ASAP, given the price bouncing of prior sets it might be worth waiting a while to see if it heads down towards $100. It’s slightly cheaper at Discrepancy Records on pre-order ($179.99) & they are always the highest price.

 

I notice that, for Melbourne, Prime one day shipping is back!

 

Yep, I'm in no hurry. If anyone breaks up the box I'd be happy with just the Re:Call set, although the books are usually good as well.
