The vinyl from my signed box from Bandstores, an the vinyl I bought in FNAC are both in bad-looking condition, but I think I won't ask for a replacement... Universal should take care with its merchandise partners, and the vinyl disc factories, what a mess!! |
I am feeling pretty stupid atm. Initially, I had looked at everything in the kitchen, in low light. And, everything looked fine. The book was pristine, the package was perfect. I had quickly looked at the vinyl, prepared for it to be just as fine as everything else. And to my button eyes, it was. So...I wrote to say that the only thing amok was that I was missing the t-shirt. Well, all the vinyl pictures, here, prompted me to take a closer look, in the study with good lighting. Horrifically, the vinyl is fingerprinted and seems to have a spattering of mud in one section.
I don't have a turntable atm to see if it plays. Perhaps the fingerprints et al. become part of its provenance--sort of like with rare books, e.g., the foxing that happens. OK, I am reaching here!
At any rate, I am not asking for a replacement, either. Like you, Nacho, I hope that Universal gets to the bottom of this with its partners, and that there are better quality control measures implemented regarding the packaging of vinyls and everything else.
