Damn that sucks. I was skeptical about Redeye, thought it was strange that it would include the cd. Therefore went with Skam. Ordered both vinyl and cd, and I just got the download link today. It was about $30 total (shipping to Norway). I actually already have the '99 repress and the '03 version of cd, but who could resist picking up these as well?
Cool, just return it and I will swap it over for you. If you just put it in the 2nd class post, not recorded we will refund your post paid too. Sorry about the hassle.
Cheers
Sounds like it's not technically their fault and a mistake/lie by the distributor, but it still sucks.
Might see if they can just send me the CD so I can keep the poster.

why would it include a CD. bleep doesnt sell that way.
why not order from bleep or skam? that makes no sense...what does that save you?

For better or worse, the vinyl reissue fiasco has made me a captive consumer, I can't see ever purchasing Warp vinyl from anywhere else again.

I wasn't to know it woudn't work that way - the page said it came with a CD and poster and as far as I knew Redeye was a reputable retailer that had been around for years.
Redeye wanted me to return it all (wouldn't let me keep the poster) and said they'd refund me the postage and send out the CD - no mention of whether I'd be reimbursed the difference since I'd spent £13.44 on this and can get CD+MP3 for £8.29 delivered from Bleep. Load of hassle.
Pretty shit customer service considering it was their cock-up, or their distributors, whatever. Going to just keep it for now and have ordered CD off Bleep.

I ordered the vinyl and cd from Bleep and they turned up on Saturday. I've already got the original so I wasn't sure about getting the remaster. I haven't done a direct comparison with the original, but the remaster sounds excellent on vinyl, so I'm glad I got it now. Haven't played the cd yet.
