No, it plays fine! It just ruins the aesthetic

I think I might sell it but I don't know how much people would pay for a knowingly marked vinyl when they could just buy a new one... I'm sure someone would probably buy it for like $20 on ebay or something instead of $40 for a new one... some people might not care about the black blob if it saves them money but I sure hated it

 

Edit: Double post cause of technical problems

Just wait until it's sold out and you'll easily get what you've paid. Besides, the spot makes it unique, just describe it as that, lol. Collector value of a mispressed vinyl, optically 😅

 

I love these soft swirls/marble effect on my copy. And how yellow it looks turned against the light, like an illustration to "let the light in" 😍

 

I cannot play it currently as we're moving and the speakers are packed already - did they fix the Kintsugi problem? I guess not, but hope is a dangerous thing. ..

I got mine today. My copy has a soft marble when held up to the light. Very pretty but I did see some black smudges on side c/d. 

 

My copy sounds amazing with no pops and the vinyl itself was flat with no warping. I got my record safely and on time too. Honestly I was so scared they would forget about shipping the record like they did when I ordered Lust For Life Clear Bottle variant.

 

My only complaint is that it looked so dirty coming out of the cardboard packaging. 😂 Like they rubbed dirt all over the plastic wrap. Thank goodness it was just on the plastic and not on the actual jacket art.

I guess it's really easy to get money on ebay after all... #scaplers4life

My copy is being held hostage by DHL Germany since the 12th of April 😭 I ordered it from the uk store and it’s meant to be coming to Australia… maybe some idiot got confused and tried to send it to Austria

Is it in Germany still? This delay usually happens if the parcel has to be processed by the custom/toll office, but if it's delivered to a German address. (not to Austrian though, would be in an Austrian custom office then)

my guess is that Lana's webstore doesnt ship to everywhere and scalpers will take advantage of that

Tracking finally updated on Friday. Still waiting for it to come though. (I guess it’s my fault for ordering from the UK store and not choosing express shipping to try to save some $$$)

I sold my copy that had that ugly black stain on it. I got a refund from Interscope without having to send it back.

At least I bought two copies originally.

Except I just opened my second copy and... it has a similar black mark on it

I doubt they would refund me for the same complaint again. Should I buy a new copy? I hate the black smudge so much. How did I get two copies with imperfections

Wait so you got one „for free“ ? Mine also had one but i didn‘t want to send it back because i don‘t care that much about it but a ‚clean’ one would still be better…

Yep! I would complain if I were you. Tell them you didn't open it until now. I sent them a picture of mine and said I would've never bought the copy if I knew it had stains like that (which is true, I want perfection haha). They offered to send me a replacement or give me a refund. I chose a refund since I had bought two copies anyway, I figured I could just open the second one. Little did I know...

This is the US store though and they're usually a lot more generous than the other stores
