    It's a long journey....17 hours direct to Darwin initially. Muzzled up. And my Amazon UK deals are a bit limited now. Pros and cons as always.... :)

    I think it's not the same album, but a compilation where Nina's own songs are taken from the Little Girl Blue session? For the actual LGB album, this KG reissue from ~the same time is highly recommended, and also still kind of a steal :)

    Well, I stand corrected. If you search for "nina simone and her friends" on Discogs, the first result takes you to this album that is tied to Little Girl Blue's master release. And since the cover looks so close, I really thought it was it. The 2021 KG version of Little Girl Blue didn't help either since I thought it was basically the same reissue. My bad, I'll have my previous post deleted.

    Thanks!

    This is a lovely record. I bought it a few weeks ago. Nice flat quiet pressing and great music. Shame I already bought it!

    Happily mine was 'double-bagged'. Did yours survive?

    Astonishingly, mine is perfect.

    Last week they managed to send a record whose sleeve was badly dented owing to poor and inadequate packaging and then its replacement arrived in exactly the same condition. Despite refunding me and telling me to keep both while all the while promising that this will never happen again, they then manage to send a record devoid of any packaging !

    I still reported it to them.

    Amazon (UK at least) seems to be getting exponentially worse.
    In the last month I’ve had one LP in a brown paper bag, which miraculously was pretty much intact. On Saturday a double LP, with 2 CDs, loose in a massively oversized box with a single bit of brown paper. Ended up with damage to corners of the album and cracked CD cases.
    Even complaining seems to have little effect. How difficult can it be, when there are purpose made mailers for records?

    I’m having issues with Amazon UK packaging recently too. One with the address straight on the record, but mostly just records thrown into a large box or clearly damaged before going into a proper mailer.

    The latest casualty is the Ornette Coleman Tone Poet box, protected with a small sheet of brown paper but the whole box was crushed damaging the front.

    Don’t believe it was posted here, currently £178.94 -

    Twice this week I’ve received records in paperbags from Amazon. The first was damaged (returned it), the second faired better.

    Are Amazon so much better on the price of vinyl than, say, an independent like What Records or Chalkys?

    Amazon prices nowadays are often no better than many fantastic independents and their packaging is a complete lottery. From decent, to tolerable, to truly abysmal.
