July 2019 Vinyl Challenge

Day 6: Amazon

From the "Amazon Is Like A Box Of Chocolates, You Never Know What You're Gonna Get" department...

An LP shipped from Europe to North Carolina in a 28" X 20" mailer. To mega-mailer's credit, record looks good.

Also - this record is really fine. Great sound - 2xLP 45RPM. Buy it. Maybe you'll get mega-mailer.

Day 7: 7”

I only just now saw that @gafacaode played some Talking Heads earlier this morning as I was scrolling up, so just saying that had nothing to do with making my choice here. I've had a hankering to get my 7" box out so today looks like that day.

Talking Heads ‎– Psycho Killer
Sire ‎– SRE 1013, 1978

b/w Psycho Killer (Acoustic)

Cut at Sterling
Pressed at Capitol, Winchester

Day 6 - Amazon

Herbie Hancock - Flood

I got this Speakers Corner reissue for like 10 dollars shipped from Amazon.de. It took like 6 months to get back in stock, and I kept needing to reaffirm my order, but it eventually shipped and arrived in perfect condition. For all of Amazon’s faults, they do seem pretty good about honoring pricing mistakes.

6: Amazon

Sandro Perri - Impossible Spaces

Apart from the Dylan mono box last month, this was the last thing I bought from Amazon. Awful company with awful business practices that wreck communities, local businesses, and the lives of its own workers. It doesn't help when they mail records with the shipping label slapped straight to the outer, with an elastic band wrapped around it (????), just left in my doorway. Fuck Amazon.

Haha, I feel like that rubber band proves that they are trolling you.
