The Vault packages have left the gate! International packages are shipping first in reverse alphabetical order by last name and should be arriving within the next few weeks (to allow for time to be placed in and out of a perfectly proportioned metal tube with wings that all somehow flies seamlessly through the lower reaches of the stratosphere, delivering packages in a 1/50th of the time that a boat or ship would take). International packages do not feature tracking info. As soon as all international packages leave Third Man headquarters, we will begin shipping domestic packages in reverse alphabetical order by last name. Domestic packages typically arrive 3-4 days after shipping and do include tracking info.
We ask that you please wait to ask questions regarding your package's status until 2 weeks following your shipping notification. That way, we can devote our full attention to shipping your packages as quickly as possible.
Thanks!!
Thanx again TMR, arrived yesterday in superb condition. It also was the fastest, since i’m platinum. Greetz from Bavaria!!
Anyone know anything about when #16 will be completely shipped? I got the notification email back in June, and nothing’s arrived yet… Past shipments have come pretty quickly.
Interesting point made by Brendan below about the photo book. My one and only complaint about this package is that the photos in the book are so small. At the size they were printed, a larger, unbound format like an album insert makes a certain amount of sense. But the effect of an insert like that on the overall package cost would have meant less money could be spent on the non-vinyl third component. What’s on the record in this package, though, overshadows the tangible aspects for me. The sleeve, the lovely colored vinyl, even the book— they’re whipped cream and cherries on top of some of the most delicious ice cream ever to hit my eardrums. Yeah, that metaphor’s so messily mixed it requires a washcloth, but you get the point— This show was obviously one for the ages. I’m so happy that those of us who weren’t able to experience it live can at least do so vicariously in our living rooms. Even so far removed, it still has an emotional impact.
awesome Just Completely AWESOME !!! It sent Shivers Down the Spine and the Hair Stand Up on The Arms Goosepimples WOW MAN !!!!! Best Vault Package !!
Just got mine. Haven’t given it a spin yet. Gotta say…disappointed that it’s not a gatefold. Double albums should always be gatefolds, or at least have cool pictures/lyrics/liner notes on the inner sleeves. Seems like there was less thought than usual going into the packaging here. Isn’t one of the great selling points of vinyl records all that fantastic artwork? Instead of the bound Elephant photo book, the pics from that book should have been put into a 16- or 20-page LP sized booklet included with the album, like the great album booklets of long ago. Looking forward to hearing it, though. At the end of the day, it’s the music that matters most.
Nice!
Excellent !
Y’all are up to C in international confirmations already?? C’mon, you’re taking away the fun of that long wait we used to have to sit through! At this rate, by the time you get to D in the U.S., I’ll only have an eyelid and one shoulder twitching.
Yay! My week keeps getting better & better. Can’t wait! :)
Can’t wait to spin this! Thank you TMR :)
