I have had that as a status for packages before, and it stayed on that status for days. Then out of blue, the package showed up, and then there about 4-5 status updates on the tracking that weren't there before appeared, most of them backdated. There is hope.

I got the 3 latest and the EP re-issue this afternoon, gave them a decent listen.
The goal was to play them all chronologically in rapid succession, but had to take a break after side 2 of M@W.
M@W was a bit too bright at times, maybe my old ears or/and my gear from playing louder than normal, will give it another chance in a few days.
Mind you I played the CD last night and it sounded brighter than I remember, always thought it was one of their better sounding recordings, despite something being off (maybe the content, one of those cases where good songs don't always make for a great album).
Very happy with PP & IVL (which I used to consider my least favorite), definite improvements over the CDs.
All except IVL were very quiet vinyl, a good cleaning will probably help that one.
Now waiting on Oct.6.....
at least a dozen shows - Montreal - Ste.Adele - Verdun ARA - Highgate ARA - Kanata - Sugarbush - Portsmouth

My M@W sounds amazing. My PP has some kind of distortion/pressing issue on Track 1 of side 3 and 4 - Fireworks and Chagrin Falls - it sounds like scratchy dirt in ones spot for the first half of both songs on every rotation. Also for some reason the pressing is slightly off and my needle doesn't actually return at the end of side 2 or 3 - other than that it sounds great - I'll have to return for another copy though. Actually I'm really impressed with the sound quality on all the reissues overall

was definitely a pressing defect - it was a visible scorch mark on both sides in the same place

Got mine yesterday down here in the US! Happy with the shipping taking only a few days! Haven't listened to them all the way through to make sure they are good pressings. Don't like hearing about pressing defects such as those in the post above...

Have spun the first PP LP and it is excellent! I'm very impressed with this and it certainly sounds much better to my ears. Not a huge difference but lots of subtle stuff that adds to the overall feel. Bobcaygeon is the standout for me on this LP and I'm excited to get to the second one this evening.
Such a great experience to put it on, sit down and let the music wash over me. In university I used to sit and listen to an entire cd all the time but until I got into vinyl, rarely took the time beyond just listening to new releases in the car. Listening this morning took me right back to the summer of '98 when I don't think PP left my cd player for the entire summer.

All this talk of these vinyls is killing me as I wait.
