Looks like the plan is to put out the entire Box on vinyl.
Only 4500 copies. I’ll probably miss out like I did with 5-7-77 because I don’t get to the store until about noon.

Nice enough, but hardly the most exciting choice for the next Black Friday vinyl treat. Especially considering we have already had a May 77 show this year - and this here massive 78 box. Which is still en route, by the looks of things. They must be taking the pretty way round.

You've heard of the Angry Jack Straw? This is the pissed off US Blues!

I was hoping for something different. When was the last time the TPTB treated us to a stand alone release? I think the last one was 4/1870.

The list is out
JGB 8-29-87
GD 5-5-77

Said in the disparaging tone said of Seinfeld's arch enemy "Newman!"
How is this jerk still in charge at USPS? He said it should be profitable but it is a "Service" the government is tasked to provide. When he took over he outsourced things and destroyed millions of dollars worth of new sorting machines. Then we lost international shipping to 17 countries (some have come back).
"You're fired" Louis!

…not UPS or FedEx.
Our stuff gets to Denver via UPS usually in a day or two, then, when they go to handoff to USPS, that’s were the phuchery begins.
Though here, packages follow a convoluted route back and forth across the state, but at least you could track it and they usually arrived in a reasonable amount of time. Now, it seems to just disappear for weeks before magically showing up?
The biggest issue is USPS stopped scanning the package upon acceptance/ handoff, and it doesn’t show up again until when/if the Post office puts it out for delivery. Then someone has to try and get there during business hours (like when most people have to be at work) and stand in long line of crabby people, then get attitude from crabby postal workers, who seem to try to do everything possible to NOT give you your package!
Except for that lol, generally just an inconvenience of not being able to track it, but what happens when they lose it or it gets stolen…since they didn’t officially except it (there’s no documentation of them receiving it) they can claim they didn’t lose it and not be accountable, which is total BS.
Just what we need, a world that charges more with less or no accountability…

As a possible additional source of revenue, better customer experience/service, and less hassles all around, I still don’t understand why we can’t choose our own delivery method, even if there’s an additional cost, ya know, like the good old days when at checkout YOU could decide how your package got shipped.
In our case that would be UPS right to our door since we don’t have home mail delivery. We would gladly pay a premium for that option…
NOTE: until this one, that’s how our box sets have been sent, while Dave’s uses the smart post nonsense.

I’m sure for many none of this is a problem but for those of us in rural areas it’s a constant source of stress and hassles. Kinda takes some of the fun outta what should be a joyous occasion.

Silberman's writing is meticulously detailed. Impressive research. I learned more about GD from this release than all the other boxes combined.

Back on the tracks, Caution!

Glad to see all the positive reviews of the box!

As for me, still waiting. Delivery date changed again. I'm blaming Fedex for spotty, at best, service. I'm blaming Warner Music Gourp for using Fedex instead of UPS

UPS is KING of frieght, plain and simple.

Whatever money is being saved by using a cheaper delivery company, is being lost due to customers not returning.

Just my 2 cents! and that carries about as much weight as a fart in a wind strom!!! lol

rock on, gang
