I had an issue with iam8bit last year when the Banjo Kazooie vinyls came out. I ordered 2x BK and 1x Battletoads, and when I received them there was only 1x BK and 1x Battletoads, simple mistake as shit happens. I emailed them promptly to no response, and sent another to a response, which then that wasn't sent out until I sent another email after that. The replacement BK I got had a tear on the sleeve as well... after all the hassle I didn't want to deal with it again to get a not-teared one, so yeah. It makes no sense either since the package seemed to be not even damaged, like it was damaged before they even sent it.

If it's been more than 14 days since you placed your order or they've already sent you a download code from your purchase, you can't.

You reminded me to check on the status of mine. My tracking info says that it shipped on the 10th, too. Current status says "Arrived at final destination Location", which was on the 13th. Hopefully that doesn't mean "delivered", because I haven't gotten mine yet.
It specifically says "Delivered" once it's been delivered, so no worries.
It's probably from shaking. If the discs are left in the sleeves/cover while in transit they can burst through the cover it if gets shaken enough. This happens to 9/10 records I order... Data Discs ship them outside the cover for me, cos they're cool.

Got a Furi notification too.
Oh and by the way, the Outrun disc from Data is pretty cool.

Turns out that there's an Endless Space 2 OST record: https://twitter.com/Blahblahnie/status/764024918023430144
No idea if it's a promo thing or if it'll be for sale somewhere.

I like the look of that Endless Space record. Hope they sell it!
Is that from damage where the record has moved around in the sleeve during transport and split the edges? I had that happen with a non-VGM record from the UK about a year ago. Then I saw this on the Data Discs FAQ:
Even though I've only dealt with them, pretty sure I won't find any better.
Edit:
Damn straight.

Just as a note, iam8bit backtracked after the mini firestorm so thanks dudes.
I did get a hilariously passive aggressive email from "Eva," calling me out for going to Twitter without engaging her in a "dialogue." 😆 But hey, problem solved.

They also told me your (first) name for no apparent reason! So, cool!
Don't sweat their passive aggressiveness. They deserve every bit of flak they've been getting.

Good to know, thanks. I need to order some paper sleeves for second hand records anyways, so I may do so anyways, but at least I know they will be fine regardless.
Look into polylined sleeves instead. They're better for your records than plain paper ones and not that much more expensive.
As someone who's getting into vinyl for the first time, it's awesome to see that there's a decent amount of gaming OSTs on vinyl. I have a few questions...
1) Is there no way to get a vinyl copy of the Furi OST, even if it's not the special edition? I'm bummed I missed the 2xLP but I'll take anything at this point.
2) What are the chances for a Bloodborne OST release on vinyl, considering it got put on Spotify recently?
Thanks in advance.

Furi should still be available here: http://furi.hitpoint.tv/furi-original-soundtrack-vinyl-2xlp
As for Bloodborne, that's anyones guess as no Souls games have had their OSTs on vinyl (yet). Spacelab9 recently sent out a survey asking about interest in certain titles including Dark Souls. So I'm guessing that if Souls is a possibilty then there's a chance we could see Bloodborne as well. The demand certainly seems to be there. That's all speculation for now, though.
The negotations for Bloodborne and Dark Souls would be completely separate.
I would say a Bloodborne OST through iam8bit is the most likely scenario, since Sony seems to have a relationship with them.
I believe Sumthing Else holds the digital rights to the Bloodborne OST and I believe they've recently partnered with Spacelab9 for Assassin's Creed, so I think they could be an option as well. I guess we'll just have to see.
Bless you, ordered.

How strange, i just got mine and shipping label says it came from Germany so no customs. But yeah, customs charges here in our european countries are a real pain on top of already high shipping costs.
Hachiroku so hot!

Please no
I'll have to buy it and support them then. In fact I'll end up buying all versions of it. RipThat is so weird. Mine has shipped through DHL which is a Deutsche Post company, so maybe the Finnish postal service misunderstood that and thought it came form Germany?
It makes no sense that they should use German distribution for some EU orders and not others

dunno, box looks very german, only the value is listed as USD
Yeah, I agree with you on that. Oh well, if mine indeed does come from Germany then I should be able to open a case for a refund. I know the Danish Postal Service are in need of money so they'll probably grab anything that remotely resembles a non-EU package and slap import fees on it.

Wow jelly. Nice one. My friends at gamescom is there any way I can ask him to get this for me?
Well, you could try the Mother Russia Bleeds stand as well. They've had promo 7"s for other conventions, but don't know if there's any for Gamescom.

yeah those Amplitude Studios booth numbers , Hall 2.2 in the Business area or Hall 10.1

The yellow sticker actually says the box came from a non-EU country. "Niederaula" is a big distribution center in Germany with an integrated customs office, so either customs were already paid or you got lucky?
You can also see the original sticker with address etc. underneath

Heh, that's the cheaper (AKA better sounding, but still) variant! The picture disc is limited to 1K and is $85!

Wait, $75 for a 2xLP?!
This is a new low, even for iam8bit.

Fuck everything about this.
ARGHGHHG.
It's the book that's bringing the price up for this, which is fine, if you want to have a book with this, its fine. But you also offer a picture disc version, so if you are fine with offering 2 versions, offer one without the fucking book so it's like $40, instead of $75. Still way too much, but more reasonable.
