[/quote] dee - Check your confirmation email - there's a link to check order status. Mine still says not shipped, meaning there's little chance I'll have it on Friday. [/quote] Found my confirmation email,so I'm in! Has not shipped.

yes, please remind me never to order from Rhino Records direct ever again it doesn't appear they have been shipping preorders not sure if it is current, but I see the following on their help page "We're moving warehouses! There might be a slight delay in your shipment. Thank you for your patience!" store.rhino.com/help-centerif that is the case it would have been nice to know as I would have sourced this elsewhere and not had to bother with the $10.99 shipping fee

I would have loved to order from Rhino, but I caved in to Amazon, as they always have new stuff to me on release day. SOOO anxious to come in from work tomorrow and put this on the turntable.

I'm so bummed....I was really expecting it tomorrow. They've had these orders since July! Plenty of time to get sorted and shipped......if we preordered, we should be first people getting them. Had I known, I would've ordered from somewhere else but wanted to give my money to Rhino......woe is me.

I took off of work tomorrow thinking that there was a possibility that I would get it today, haha, so yeah, I'm excited for it. Bummer.

I also pre-ordered from Rhino for the exclusive cassette. Disappointed my first listen tomorrow will be on Spotify and not my turntable.

Yeah, that's downright shitty. Punished for pre-ordering.

I just listened on Spotify, it’s the 27th already here in Australia. I’m a little disappointed my box set hasn’t arrived from Rhino, but I LOVE Dead Man’s POP so far. Only listened to the first ‘disc’, my mind is blown. Darlin’ One, They’re Blind, Rock N Roll Ghost.... Hell, every track is damn near perfection. Hats off to the boys and Matt Wallace. Can’t wait to dig a little deeper and for the box to arrive!

check your email’s, I just received the following ......
Hello, We don’t know if you’ve heard or not, but we’ve been having some issues with our warehouse. Long story short, they did not ship the boxed set when we requested so, unfortunately, your order will be slightly delayed. It’s unacceptable, we know, and we’re trying to work out a solution to this for future releases. The boxed sets are now expected to ship next week. As a consolation, here’s a courtesy download of the release while you wait for your physical box to arrive. Please follow the instructions below to retrieve your digital download. Here is your unique code to download The Replacements - Dead Man's Pop:
Additionally, we’d like to give you 15% off your next Rhino order as an apology for the delay (which should have been avoided). Your 1-time, unique discount code is:
Thank you for your patience and understanding. Your boxed set for The Replacements should arrive with you shortly. Sincerely, Rhino
.... not what I wanted to hear but we’ve waited this long wonder if the digital download is the full release or only part of it (Wallace mix)

Just got an email that the advance orders are delayed until next week. They did send a download code though, and a seemingly-sincere apology, so at least we get to hear it. Check your emails.

Thank you Jer, I too just got the same email and download code. I'd rather have the box set, but I'll settle for being able to listen to it now, it's better than nothing.

I also pre-ordered from Rhino for the exclusive cassette. Disappointed my first listen tomorrow will be on Spotify and not my turntable. I couldn't wait....I will put it on the turntable after work....got out of bed and streamed Dead Man's Pop (didn't get to Bearsville or outtakes). All I can say to sum it up in a short manner is; I really, really like it. Darlin' One stood out for me in a way it hadn't before. Overall, I think this record fits in much better with the flow of the albums they released. Seems to make more sense now between PTMM and ASD. I'm really looking forward to hearing other comments and I'm sure I may have more to add as I go through it a few more times. Enjoy! Gotta get to sleep....friggin' work...who the hell invented that shit?

Bare with me.First take of first listen. Trying to wrap my head around it in context with this being the follow up to PTMM and what came before. It's goop-less.My ears are adjusting.Sounds dry against 30 years of DTAS.Just the initial contrast,but diamonds,or white caps,are beginning to sparkle in this mix as I adjust.Replacements textures coming to life.The songs transformed,the writing given new life. The Bob-less air shaft version of CHW comes to mind,Americana pop & pow. Sounds more Twin Tone than Sire in that regard. The band turning up the heat,carrying on.Bearsville gems,one by one playing now. I never took out DTAS,three songs in,an threw it out the window,and now it get's to be what it always was,a Replacements album!Thanks Dunlaps,Mehr,Wallace,band.

....Overall, I think this record fits in much better with the flow of the albums they released. Seems to make more sense now between PTMM and ASD. I thought the exact same thing - this version sits way better with their catalog. Not sure I'll go back to the original very often.
Loving disc one. And how `bout that new solo in They're Blind? That was one of my favorite moments on the original release, and they may have improved on it.
Disc two is interesting as a superfan but not earth shattering. I'm glad they included it - it belongs with this collection, but most of it isn't really groundbreaking.
The live show is killer.

I was a little suspicious when that UPS tracking number didn't lead anywhere. Really wanted to listen to the LP today, not sure if I should wait but who knows what will come.

I got a UPS tracking number today, but it only indicates they've created a shipping label.
As far as what I've been able to listen to on the MP3 download I got, I'm liking it. Especially liked hearing "Last Thing In The World", pretty catch tune IMO. I've heard it before on the One Step Beyond, Santa Clara, CA 5-11-1989 live bootleg, but never on any other recordings.
