My inner sleeve was the same, and also on my white vinyl, even though the packaging was secure. To be fair, the inner sleeve is very paper thin, and not great quality, and they have to pack the records tight for shipment, but that will make the ring marks on the inner sleeve, like mine have got. The outer cover is fine, so I think it is very difficult to go back when the issue is the quality of the inner sleeve.dbaseboy wrote: Sun 05 May 2024, 10:19 amIt’s the inner sleeve that’s creased on mine even though the packaging was okaydf118junkie wrote: Fri 03 May 2024, 4:24 am Got 1374 - but the package and disc are warped to hell.

Re: Zoetrope disc
I've got mine yesterday, No. 3615. But I'm not happy with using the stroboscope engineer app. I would be very happy from some help/instructions....

I used Stroboscope Engineer for Android at a frequency of 28Hz. That does the trick rather well.

Re: Zoetrope disc
You need to mess with the frequency settings to match the speed of your record player. It's unlikely it runs at exactly 33.3 as it should, it will probably be running slightly slow or fast and therefore you need to adjust the strobe speed accordingly.Zoops wrote: Sun 05 May 2024, 12:07 pm I've got mine yesterday, No. 3615.

#2558 arrived in NZ today. Just over a week which is pretty good from Bristol.
Perfectly packaged and a lovely item for my collection. I need to fiddle the app a little.

For my white vinyl both inner sleeves were heavily creased. Very disappointing.Pinhead44 wrote:My inner sleeve was the same, and also on my white vinyl, even though the packaging was secure.

Re: Zoetrope disc
Ilumiscope is a good strobe app for iPhone. I tried a few of them. This one doesn't use the flashlight & allows you to use video while using.

#899 arrived in Denmark 6 days ago and went through a slow customs process ... and today it was released to me. I hate the consequences of Brexit.Debussy wrote: Mon 06 May 2024, 6:57 am #2558 arrived in NZ today. Just over a week which is pretty good from Bristol.

I'm happy to report that I received a flawless product despite the many steps the package had to go through to reach its destination.

Re: Zoetrope disc
My inner sleeve arrived damaged too (the paper is very thin and it was broken in one place). I contacted them, send some photos to confirm my complaint and got a reply that they would send me a new inne sleeve. So I'm quite happy with the result
Hope the new item will be OK. The main cover was in great condition.
I've been around the world for a number of reasons. I've seen it all the change of seasons, and I, my lord, may I say nothing?

This is what happened to my White vinyl edition.

I took your lead and contacted the store but said they would not send replacements until I send back my copy (at my expense).
And they said if it was sold out I'd just get a refund.
I haven't responded yet but there is no way I'm sending it back incase I never see it again and end up with a refund.

Right on! I opened my white deluxe set, and it's definitely understandable why you'd leave it be - but it is such a fantastic sounding pressing!

May do that
If you wind up framing your Zoetrope + signed print framed set going before I get to, feel free to @ me! Even without the strobe app, it sure is a cool looking piece, and the signature being added is just...
