This is absolutely absurd in this day and age. One of Madonna's last Blu Ray releases was pressed incorrectly. It's such a shame because it does take away the magic of these releases.
I think all this is disgraceful in this modern day, I`m just glad I decided not to buy any of this rubbish! I did buy the double white `collected` album, but sent that back last week and got refunded, because the audio was terrible. I shall wait till next year now until they sort this rubbish out and in all honesty, wait for the prices to come down when they can`t sell them, because of the damage this has done! `collected` is already starting to drop like a rock
` for me that was the first batch those that failed , regards.`
wow, one batch, I guess I shouldn't exaggerate
For those trying to destroy a record, could you borrow a drill and take pictures of the record being drilled through?
Wow. This is really interesting (and somewhat tempting ). Is there a sound quality difference?Looks like the EU pressings of the vinyl albums is coming with an added bonus, is this happening elsewhere?
All of these stories of people getting ripped off and bad vinyl is horrific. I was so depressed when I had to send my set back because of defective vinyl. Does anyone know of a place selling the repressed sets?
It's already been confirmed by email from UMe that it will take 6-8 weeks before the replacements will be available. My advice is anyone looking should stop looking until after the middle of February as that is when re-pressings should make their way to retailers, it could be later. If you are rushing to get a set now you are running the risk of getting old stock that may not have been pulled as directed from UMe to retailers which could be defective like mine. You take the risk if you order now from anyone, re=pressing won't be available for 6-8 weeks.
As I stated before my box set is being returned to the retailer tomorrow for a full refund.
It’s most likely for copyright reasons. Even with CD’s, DVD’s and Blu-Rays that are either unsold (that the manufacturer doesn’t want back) or returned because of defects, the store is required to destroy the discs, usually with scissors or knives.I don’t understand why they ask you to destroy them?, sort of suggests they ain’t very trusting of people telling the truth. Surely pictures of damaged vinyl or mispressed vinyl should be enough for them?.
II did email back and thanked them for the response and said wasn’t there a way to only destroy the albums that were bad. It seems silly to destroy perfectly good albums just to get more albums. I don’t know.

Do not exaggerate , I thought the same and my set box that arrived a week ago is perfect both in sound and in manufacturing, compared to the Japanese vinyl I have, they have nothing to envy, for me that was the first batch those that failed , regards.
