Ordered a bunch lately. Received four today. The new Nico reissue from Modern Harmonic came in …. no bag, nothing. Price sticker on the plastic cover. Bent corners all around. Other three, Grizzly Bear recommended in here were fine. Shipped in boxes. Could not believe it came like that. I’ve had them come in plastic bags. Which is dumb, but this is dumber. Few more coming tomorrow. Kinda worried.

I think Amazon must have done a systems update that has thrown everything off! I ordered a Honey Bane 12" 45 two weeks ago and the first time they shipped me a Fantastic Negrito LP. I immediately put in a return request and reordered the Honey Bane. The second time they shipped me a Foghat LP. I tried to enter another return request and they would not let me select the same return center, Whole Foods, near my home. They kept routing me with only one option for a return, a drop box 20 miles away at Ga. Tech! Then I tried to have them credit it on my Amazon credit card, and they kept saying my Amazon card was invalid, it is clearly not out of date or invalid! I had to chat with someone to straighten it all out. I'm reluctant to reorder anything else until they fix all of these glitches, either it was a bad software update or possibly they got hacked.

Just reporting back briefly on the DD deal Echo & The Bunnymen - Flowers, since I cannot comment on that thread. Excellent album, white vinyl, good sound. Quite a bit mellower than I normally like. Usually I leave those to the rarified and stunningly bland taste of @SJP , but although the arrangements are very simple, they still have that lovely Dreamy Classic sound of Echo & The Bunnymen. If the deal is still available, I would recommend it for those who like the band
Good gosh, your head would probably explode if you were to hear the stunningly pristine sounds of Pernice Brothers which I am spinning right now. Easily a top ten bend for me that probably isn't a thing for those who prefer their vinyl to be named Dream Theater and Tool . As for Flowers, I got the new pressing back in May after being on the fence about getting that one and Siberia. Both are sparkling albums with the classic sound the you astutely describe. You have informed my next listen, now cracking open the Siberia pressing from Amazon that arrived a week ago, effectively bringing the conversation appropriately back into Amazon territory. It is still under $30 (plus shipping) but not the decent $26 deal that I previously posted...decent when compared to the bloated price upon release. Perhaps Siberia too is destined for the DDBB someday.
Yeah I’m waiting for Siberia to drop to DDBB prices myself. I do like Flowers a lot though; saw them on that tour as well, back before Ian’s voice was basically a burnt ashtray.

I’m probably about the last guy on the forum to get this, but I finally got Neil Young’s 3LP Decade set. $27.99 at Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B071DXVKJC This is a remaster from 2017, if Amazon is correct. Comes with autorip, too, for those that like that.
