The quality of the vinyl is good, the problems with my copy are on the second side of the second disc. There is a scratch in the lead in dead wax, which doesn't carry into the music, and where ever this was pressed someone decided to put their finger and palm print on the grooves. I checked the Beyonce store and all the black vinyl copies are sold out, so I would not be able to get an exchange.
@MarksMusic-hd6gv yes like you that would annoy me. I just received an lp in the mail from the states and it has been twisted and crushed plus bent during transit. Also opened one up once and it looked as tho whoever was handling the vinyl during production must have been eating KFC 🍗 whilst handling it. I was furious.
Ordering something from the other side of the globe always worries me. Just got a CD box set from Japan today, turned out OK. Still waiting on something from Brazil.
@MarksMusic-hd6gv yes it's certainly a risk and I have been fortunate for the most. However it's so much more economical to order and have it sent from overseas. Most cases it's less than half price than buying off the shelf here in Australia. But I luv second hand crate digging.
I get your situation, I just pre-ordered some stuff from the Billie Eilish website and it was US only, as well as some stuff I had bought from the Miley Cyrus store that was US and Canada only. A least half of my Madonna singles came from Europe, because they just were not available here, as absurd as that may seem.
