The $78 box set is £140 ($190) in the Bella Union UK store before shipping. Whereas it's $110 shipped to the UK from the Sub Pop store or $102 shipped from the FJM store 🤔

If your Ultra Mono PVC sleeve was as banjaxed as mine when it arrived, shoot Allotment Records an email. They said that a large number had this "manufacturing fault" and that they "will be replacing these covers with the number edition, but it may take us a few weeks to get the renewed cover out...

Is that a seam split in their own promo photo? Edit: The rest of the promo photos are all conveniently cropped so the seam split isn't showing. Deary me.

The carting seems to be messed up. Lot of people in the IG comments saying they checked out with one variant but their order confirmation is for a completely different variant. Their business/popularity is driven on scarcity and FOMO. If they actually cared about getting the product in the...

That sucks. Doesn't bode well for mine making the trip across the Atlantic, if they ever dispatch it..

That got a repress earlier this year on clear wax by Demon as well, IIRC. Think it's still pretty widely available too.

Considering the cheapest listings of the most recent Workbook and Black Sheets of Rain represses are ~£40 on Discogs, the box set isn't half bad value.

It would be a good price if they could deliver on what they promise, absolutely. I'm just surprised at how many people are happy to throw hundreds of their chosen currency in a yearly commitment to a company that has sat idly by and watched their web store, logistics, product quality and...

The number of folk in here saying "the year is a good deal, I might go for it" baffles and concerns me. Of course it's an individual's prerogative, but look where this company is now compared to last year. Do you really want to financially commit to them for another year? More importantly, do...

Yeah LITA can suck my toes.

No problem. Yeah this 'Sunset Pink & Green' variant wasn't in the UK store when I ordered. Time to double I guess..

After accepting I was going to be diddled by international postage and customs I was very pleasantly surprised to see there's a UK storefront, so the splatter came to a total of £18.28 shipped for me. You're in Germany, right? There is a DE Music Glue storefront with all the variants.

Yeah it's starting to feel like they don't have the resources to require more sought after/desirable releases. You get a gem every now and again but there are so many duds it doesn't warrant staying subbed to the track.

Wonder if it's a region thing as it's on Apple Music for me in the UK.
