Mine showed up yesterday as well. Huge box for three records, but no damage. Haven't played any of them yet. I've also heard some not so good things about Capitol, but the pric was worth the risk.

All three sounded good, but Paul's Boutique sounded fantastic!   Did you get one?   Curious to hear your thoughts.   I know Nick ordered that title, maybe he will have an opinion as well.

I received all of mine, 12 albums wrapped in about 2-4" of bubble wrap in an oversized box.  Everything arrived safely, only curious thing i noticed was the white album had a made in Germany sticker on it.

I am not going to listen to anything for at least 6 months maybe longer, much, much longer.  But, my new vinyl collection is growing.

So, no updates coming from me.  Good luck to everyone else.

If I knew for sure I'd get German ones I would order.   The US Rainbow pressings suck.

This statement gives more questions than answers.

I did not get Paul's Boutique. I regret it now that I hear your review.  I got a pin Melon, Norah Jones and Abbey Road. The Abbey Road does have the Made in Germany sticker. I've got a few other Made in Czech records that have been good, seems when I get a Made in EU or Printed in EU that those are not so good. Hope to get time tonight to listen to my order.

The ones that just say "EU" tend to be mostly "grey market" pressings made from the same CD you can buy at WalMart.   I think they are deliberately vague.   Licensed releases tend to have more info.

Did anyone order a sgt peppers? All of the beatles were made in Germany, but my sgt peppers is a mono, everything else is stereo. Including the beach boys pet sounds, which crate & barrel showed as mono.

Yep.   They sure don't belong in the record business.
