I know this sounds silly, but I love vinyl records. I've been collecting them for years from various bands and games, but I've never bought a record player. Maybe it's because I live in an area where I prefer to listen to my music on headphones, or because I didn't have the money, or because it just didn't seem right. But this soundtrack from this game has captivated me so much, I've listened to it for hundreds of hours and still can't get enough of it. I'm so excited for this vinyl, I don't think I've ever looked forward to anything as much as I'm looking forward to this music.

Edith: For the downvotes, I would be grateful if you could leave a short comment explaining what made you decide to downvote this post.

Oh I'm so excited to get it and it's amazing seeing this sub blow up with people's vinyl arriving!

...Now if I could even get it to ship, that would be delightful hahaha.

Laced Records just responded to some tweets saying that they’re aiming for end of July for the Expedition 33 vinyl

Disappointed after being hyped and waiting a while. I honestly wouldn't care if the audio was fine. Noticed it as soon as I looked in the sleeve and took a couple pics. Play tested and it has a LOUD pop every time it passes this.

I'll contact Laced, I hope they are able to help. I've placed orders with them before, but never used their support!

Just had the Songs From The game delivered.

Has anyone else who has bought the OST and Songs from the game noticed extremely poor quality? the band going around the gatefolds are made too big so that the paper ends up all wavy and wrinkled. The OST vinyls didn't have a PTFE lined sleeve, just paper (SFTG does have this at least)

Both also had an issue where the slot for disc 3 hasn't been glued to the gatefold but they have somehow managed to glue it to the actual sleeve of the vinyl? What the hell is going on.

Also my picture disk 2 seems to have a bubble. Not sure if the photos show it properly but you can see the white blob catches the light and is definitely a defect. Can air be trapped under the picture printing?

These sets were a good chunk over and above usual vinyl sets (even at the usual Mondo pricing) so this is disappointing. Even if there was no defects there's really very little "wow" factor to justify the extra costs.

anyone else had similar ?

I ordered all three Dark Souls soundtracks from the Bandai store. The vinyl arrived in perfect condition except the 4LP Dark Souls II is missing it's Disc 1 (side A/B). I made a request through the store to be sent the missing disc.

The reply from their Support nearly made me fall of my chair.

Thank you for contacting us. I am writing to you regarding your recent request for assistance, as Disc 1 from your order #[order number] for the Dark Souls vinyls is missing

We appreciate your interest in our products and I'm sorry to hear that the item is missing. We will be happy to assist you by opening a dispute on your behalf. Here are the steps of the procedure:

Please provide us with a photo or scan of a handwritten statement accompanied by a piece of valid ID. 

To help you out, we have prepared an example template of a statement:

To whom it may concern,

I, [full names]\ certify upon my honor that, as of writing this statement, I have not received Disc 1 from the Dark Souls II vinyl set, part of my order #[order number]\ containing [item names]\*. The package was dispatched under number [tracking number]\***.

I understand that I am liable for providing accurate information.

Date:                Signature:    

Reminder: Please do not print this text. Your statement needs to be handwritten. Do not forget to sign it and to place a copy of your ID before taking a photo / scanning.

While this is just an example template and you do not have to copy it word for word, all of the pieces of information marked with \* are crucial and need to be present in your statement.

1. Once we have your handwritten statement, we will open an investigation and contact you as soon as possible. As we are currently doing our annual inventory and infrastructure update, please be aware that there could be a slight delay when it comes to such requests and procedures.

If you have any questions about this procedure we are always here to help you. We will guide you every step along the way and keep you posted on the development of the situation.

Kind regards,

There's no way I am sending a photo of my ID to a retailer and I have already replied stating that.

The formal "certification of my honor" is wild, and if I do write one, good luck to them - my handwriting is dreadful.

There must be a better way to protect from fraud, which I assume this nonsense is trying to prevent. Has anyone else been through this process? Is this more normal in EU stores than the UK?

I'm in a bit of a dilemma. As a huge fan of Death Stranding 2, I'm having a hard time deciding between the original soundtrack, ambient, and atmospheric tracks vs. the soundtrack that contains music tracks from Death Stranding 2. The original soundtrack is currently available to ship. However, the soundtrack with music tracks won't ship until May. Should I get both of them? Do you prefer one over the other? I'd like to hear your opinions.

I bought the signed version of the soundtrack straight from Austin Wintory’s Bandcamp merch page, but instead of receiving the blue/gold variant I got the heavy duty black. Just seeing if this is an isolated incident or if every copy sent was also black. Already reached out to see if there is a fix.

I don't know how but that guy is not only a genius but seemingly constantly online, too! 🤣🙏 Not the first time he liked or shared one of my posts or stories, haha!

as the title says, please help me understand whats the difference here, basically first one that is more expensive has " (soundtrack) " in it, and the one that is cheaper has " (original score) " both of them ar vinyls, same quantity of song and discs, both also seem to have black discs and nothing specially colored

After long issues with customs I finally got my Laced Silent Hill 2 Remake Vinyls , with both the Rust Edition Boxset and Red LPS both from OKS Gear, but they've come quite damaged.

I was wondering if anyone else had this issue or damage from overseas shipping particularly to the UK. As its now sold out I'm not sure If I should be contacting OKS Gear directly ,or Laced Records as although they had different versions they may have replacements for the box and sleeves. Im worried all they will offer is a partial refund which is frustrating as I was so excited to get my hands on these.

Please let me know if I'm being exaggerative or any advice on what to do, its just with customs I payed so much just for them to arrive like this and the artwork on the sleeves was one of the biggest reasons I got them.

My previous post:

Managed to get one for me and my friend

Was only in France released upon preorder of Fallout 76 - the thing is it was 15 EUR + 15 FOR SHIPPING, for a weak promo, however its one of cheapest Fallout Vinyls out there.

Ended up being sold to someone else as i tried to contact the seller directly for cheaper shipping as $35 for a single vinyl that was given upon preorder seems like a lot

💣 LACED RECORDS RESTOCK & SALE 💥

Notes for collectors

We really hope you’re able to grab the vinyl you’re after. Please be aware that, because there will be some older/rarer products being restocked, we expect there will be high store traffic volume, especially in the first few minutes of the restock & sale.

Here are some things to bear in mind:

• The Laced Records store will be offline leading up to the restock going live
  • If you visit the store, you’ll see a password screen – this is for Laced employees only, and the site will appear as normal from go time 
• We have two stores – 🇺🇸US & 🇨🇦Canada store https://www.lacedrecords.com and 🌍 Rest of World/ROW store https://www.lacedrecords.co
  • The stores geo-redirect to the correct store for your IP (VPNs might confuse this.) 
  • Canadian customers can check shipping costs on both stores, but there may be extra customs if you choose to ship from the UK (the ROW stores). 
  • Neither store ships to Russia or Brazil.
• Orders aren’t complete until you’ve successfully paid and received a confirmation message. 
• Multiple people might have put a low stock product into their cart, only to find that it has been sold by the time they try to checkout. 
• Please be sure to login into relevant accounts ahead of time, for instance PayPal.
• Be aware that there are weight limits on a single order (depending on territory), which might prevent shipping options being available to your address. 
• If you are after a very specific product, consider grabbing the full URL for the correct store page ahead of time
• If you see someone posting about a particular product that didn't show up as in stock for you, remember that it might be in stock in their territory’s store but not in yours (or vice versa.)

There will be two ‘collections’ that you will find via the home page when the stores go live — one for the restock, and one for items on sale. Some products may appear in both collections, and products will be automatically removed from their respective collection once sold out.

For anyone that has preordered the Sword of the Sea vinyl soundtrack from Arcline Store, the release date has been delayed until June. They're supposed to receive their allotment in May, but it got delayed until June, unfortunately. For those who have received their copies, they most likely got them from Laced Records. Hopefully, the release date won't get delayed any further, but lets see what happens. It's unfortunate, because I was really looking forward to listening to the soundtrack on vinyl. Sure, I can listen to it on YouTube (for the time being), but it's different having the physical vinyl soundtrack.

I ordered the Lies of P vinyl (main one, not DLC). Sadly, the package was lost and I never received it. I got my refund from iam8bit, but am still pretty bummed that I am without the vinyl, and am worried that I won't have the chance to get it later on. Anyone know of any other places that may have it and are trustworthy? Ik the odds are slim at this point but I am really looking for anything.

Hi vinyl lovers! I went on a drunk shopping spree and bought the Paradise killer vinyl twice by mistake (I'm not gonna do that again). Since I can't get it refunded and the soundtrack is really great, I'm giving it away :)

Rules to enter: - leave a comment - for shipping cost reasons, please be from Europe - Reddit account is at least a month old

I'll message the winner in a week!

Hi everyone. I’ve had an issue regarding the shipment of the Expedition 33 vinyl and CDs. Apparently, due to an address problem, the shipment is being returned to the sender, which is Laced Records.

I tried contacting them through their contact form last Wednesday, but I haven’t received a reply yet. I’ve read that they’re dealing with a very high volume of requests, so responses can take some time. The problem is that I’d really like them to reply before the package actually makes it back to them, so that I might have a chance to “release” the parcel (which, according to my country’s postal service, they might be able to do).

I couldn’t find any direct email address to contact them and explain the situation, which I believe is somewhat urgent. Does anyone know what I can do?

Basically, I just want to receive the items I purchased, so I’d like to get in touch with Laced before the package is returned to them, in order to sort this out as soon as possible.

Thanks a lot.
