Just ordered Stadium Arcadium on vinyl for £29, which i've seen before at up to £75 !

Apye!

I ended up ordering Talking Heads - 77, RHCP - Stadium Arcadium, Little Feat - Feats Don't Fail me now and The Doors - Strange Days, so got an option for a free 48 hour courier service.

DHL duley turned up on the right day, so was very happy with the service.

Has yours still not turned up yet ?

It it was ordered on Thurs evening I guess they only get the order on the Friday, post out Friday if you're lucky, so I'd say you should expect to get it Tues or Weds maybe?

Thanks for the reply Nigel, it still has not turned up and the postman has already been!

Did get an email this morning though saying it was being shipped (don't know when though!).

A bit slow considering they charged my card straight away!!

Good stuff.

So, does it sound ok, or is it as bad as 'munch' said?

So far quite good, this is my first Led Zep album, one of the reasons for getting it (as it is the 'greatest hits'), so I have nothing to compare it to.

It does leave me wondering if there are better versions out there!!

I have just ripped my original from '77 on Sire into iTunes using a Behinger USB ADC and Audacity.

It is uncleaned and not chopped up into tracks, and sounds just great!
