They're from Monterrey, Mexico. If they ever make another album, I'm ready to buy it.

@Vyn: how long did the delivery take?

[KiloDeltaCharlie]

That Spacegoat album is a gorgeous colour!

[Vyn]

Took about a year lol. I was going to pre-order it way back when, but then I heard production was delayed so I held off then forgot about it. By the time I remembered, I was trying to find it anywhere I could but no luck. I saw a German shop had one, but I couldn't actually buy it so I sent them an email asking after it.

They told me they sent their last few to the band. I just happened to have Gina's email address from a few years prior, so reached out. Was informed that if they had one, they'd send it to me.

A year later, and it showed up!

BTW, it sounds great.

Man, you go to the SOURCE for your vinyl, Vyn! Mad props for that dedication!

[Jack the Stripper]

Have you received your Resurrection silver vinyl yet Vyn? I’m still waiting for mine. Last update was on the 4/2 that in was onboard in Melbourne. 

[Vyn]

No sir, shows it is languishing in Memphis, TN.

[Jack the Stripper]

Mine was in transit in Melbourne. Now it’s gone to Sydney

[KiloDeltaCharlie]

^^^
It could be part of a large consignment and the distributors warehouse is in Sydney.

[Jack the Stripper]

No the distributer doesn’t have a warehouse in Sydney. My guess is that the courier company are incompetent fuckwits!

^^^^^^
Naah, it didn't have its vaccine papers in order.   

[Zzzptm]

No the distributer doesn’t have a warehouse in Sydney. My guess is that the courier company are incompetent fuckwits!

I've had firms 20 miles away from me send a package than then goes on a 200-mile local route before it gets to the truck to deliver to me... and *still* miss delivering to me on the scheduled day!

[Vyn]

I feel your pain, Jack. My package is now showing up as "discrepancy". Maybe they'll route yours to me and mine is heading to you in Australia.

I'm concerned that by the time I get it, if it isn't just flat lost, it will be crunched up into a ball, lol.

Edited to add more carrier fun news:

As you all know, I sell firearms on the side as a hobby of sorts. As you can imagine, the rules surrounding shipping firearms are strict and come with massive penalties if you don't follow them.

One of the rules is that the carrier has to obtain an adult signature when delivering a package containing a firearm.

Starting about six months ago, I've had both UPS and FedEx just toss them in my driveway every once in a while. 

Since I don't do a lot of volume, I always track them to make sure I'm home when they are set to arrive, so it hasn't been an issue, but WTF.

[Jack the Stripper]

Yeah that was my biggest fear too Vyn. The extra unnecessary journey only gives it more opportunity to get damaged in the handling and transit process. Anyhow, that didn’t happen as it arrived at about 7pm this evening in perfect shape. Both of them. Pictures to follow in the next day or two.

[Zzzptm]

Glad it got there OK!
