Wish I'd captured video or at least pics of these unboxings, but nevertheless I offer this as a #PSA:
A Tale of Two LPs, in my continuing effort to find alternatives to #Amazon and #Target for my non-obscure online record purchases. (Loved them because you can't beat their ease of returns and Lordy, the lack of QC of new #vinyl these days...)
1. #BarnesAndNobel:
Shipped in a soft manila envelope, #LP held onto LP-sized corrugated cardboard square with an elastic band, one digipak #CD secured to it a little aggressively in one layer of plastic wrap.
LP arrives with jacket corners bent (but plays flawlessly, so ok, just sayin).
2. https://www.MillionsOfRecords.com :
Corrugated box within box, LP wrapped like a mummy in plastic itself and further wrapping securing to it 2 jewel boxed CDs held motionless. Perfect, perfect, and perfect. (I've actually bought vinyl & CDs from these guys for years. Recommend, esp for #reggae.👍)
