    Record Store - anyone else experiencing problems with them?

    Eventually got a reply from them. 2 days to tell me they will ivestigate at their warehouse and another 2 days to let me know. Los Campesinos was a "cock up" at the warehouse and is now rectified - signed copy on way to me. That's the good news. The bad news is that they don't have any signed...

    Record Store - anyone else experiencing problems with them?

    More problems with signed stuff. I ordered a signed version of the debut CD of Bill Ryder-Jones weeks ago and the new Campensinos CD a few days ago (it was only first advertised that day). Both arrived yesterday - unsigned. Both are still advertised now on their website as being available as...

    Record Store - anyone else experiencing problems with them?

    On the back of the signed Best Of LP autographed no show fiasco when it probably wasn't their fault but they never had the decency to come clean, I was wondering if any one else is experiencing the same problems I am at the moment. I've used them for years with no problems. I pre-ordered a...

    Article: "The Smiths -- Complete" Super Deluxe Collectors Box from Rhino, limited to 3000 (estimated

    Some of us are old enough to remember the advertising campaign for the original Warner Brothers releases in the early 90's. Remember the slogan for the 10 inch vinyl releases in the NME? "The last time Smiths albums will ever be released on vinyl" What a con. :mad:

    seam splits on 12" covers

    I have stored all vinyl separate from their sleeves since the early '80s in specialist boxes stored in dark cupboards to prevent ageing. All my Smiths sleeves are in immaculate condition and look (and smell) as fresh as the day were bought on release date.

    Stunning news from recordstore.co.uk

    Re: The Autographed picture that came with the Glam Glue bundle I know it probably isn't Record Store's fault as they have no doubt been let down by Morrissey/Record Company but I only bought it from them to get the chance of a signed LP. I could have got it about 3 pounds cheaper (taking into...

    Selling some top Smiths rarities

    I thought 7 inch pressings at that time had the groved edges around the label - the Reel Around the Fountain and 1 side Hand in Glove have them but the other singles don't. Was it around this time those groved edges started to disappear?

    Stunning news from recordstore.co.uk

    Has anyone out there received the signed LP? We could all be unlucky and not got one or maybe they don't exist. How will we ever know if that's the case?

    Bona Drag signed pre-order

    I see from reading this thread with tales of postmen leaving packages outside front doors or bending things double through letterboxes (against Post Office rules) that I am not alone in experiecing our wonderful Royal Mail. That's the reason why anything that won't fit through my letterbox...

    Wanted: Hand in Glove 'Negative Sleeve' UK 7" single

    I am actually one of the lucky few who has the Negative Sleeve. Bought it in 1994 after placing an ad in the Records Wanted Section in Record Collector. Paid £150 for it when RC valued it at £75. I had gone down this route before and never got a reply. I hoped to tempt someone into selling by...
