Thanks again for this. Mine arrived safe and sound yesterday and was double-boxed! The price is now $102 and change so this was a great bargain.
Not sure whether this is a "good deal", relative to past pricing, but it was good enough for me to grab it. I'd been looking for the 2016 pressing for awhile at a price I was willing to pay but was looking at $50+ to get a copy from the EU. Looks like it just got reissued this past April. $30.92 for 2lp set, pressed (I think) at Optimal. Ibrahim Ferrer - Buena Vista Social Club Presents
Thanks for the heads-up - one of the two LPs in my set has a warp too, exchanging it and will pick whichever copy is best.
My Sabbath Paranoid super deluxe set ($89.56) arrived in a plastic bag as well. Minor corner bumps that aren't worth returning. First time I've had this with Amazon. Guess I'm pretty lucky...
I got it earlier this week. Came in the cardboard mailer inside of another cardboard box. Minor corner bend but seemingly not Amazon’s fault. Sounds lovely.
This one has been dropping a bit of late. I pulled the trigger at $16.37... https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B084QL2YCQ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 2020 solo album by Tim Burgess of The Charlatans titled "I Love The New Sky". I found this on CD during the pandemic and the opening track is one of the best songs of 2020 in my opinion. The rest of the album does not disappoint.
Paul Weller On Sunset double LP $15.63 https://www.amazon.com/Sunset-2-LP-...=1&keywords=paul+weller&qid=1622818996&sr=8-3 and the 12" On Sunset Remixes EP for $5.39 https://www.amazon.com/Sunset-Remix...=1&keywords=paul+weller&qid=1622818996&sr=8-5
Nice! Had picked up the Japanese CD version of the album initially but I’m going to grab the vinyl for that price. I already bought the remixes 12”—good stuff if you are a fan of that sort of thing (I am).
The Jonsi shiver black double lp is now $13.66. It's like they are giving these away! https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08BD9D3TY?tag=camelbpa-20&linkCode=ogi&th=1&psc=1&language=en_US
Now down to $12.34. I'm re-ordering since they sent me the incorrect LP (Ted Nugent green vinyl "State Of Shock" reissue from a few years back), and I'm going to keep it.
I thought about that, but the individual brown LP box it was in wasn't sealed and had labels for both titles in separate locations so I think it may have been a return/error. Who knows, I figure it's worth a try.
Wildflowers And All The Rest arrived, timely, double boxed, in perfect shape. I'm figuring we, in the Dallas area, are getting shipments from different fulfillment centers as I've yet to receive a record sent in a plastic envelope.
I think it depends on the specific LP (and not on the regional distro center). I've received all forms of packaging recently. Some LPs are pre-boxed and labelled. There are a couple different box types. Then some other records are not pre-boxed. I've received pre-boxed LPs in bags as well as in larger boxes. Likewise I've received bare LPs in both bags and larger boxes. The "gift" option does not guarantee a box. (The gift receipt can go right into the bag).
