Ok in all my years of record collecting, this is a first. Got a new album, and must admit it felt a little "light." Opened it up and damn, no record. Great Q/C

I once got a sealed LP only to open it and find that the label was glued about 2 inches off center. In hindsight I should have kept it instead of getting my refund. I can't even remember the album and the label now except for it was some Nova-Bossa stuff.
Myles,
That is frustrating. Sounds like a phone call is in order.

Bad luck must come in a group. I got a new CD a couple of days ago and it has severe drop outs in one song. Like you, this is a first for me ever.

That's the mystique that comes with sealed records. You don't know what's inside, or NOT inside.
My worst experience is opening up a nicely packaged sealed LP by Stockfisch Records only find out that on both sides there are huge white dried lacquer marks blotted on the vinyl. Playing it yielded bad surface noise. I got it from a dealer in HK, but I decided to write Stockfisch in Germany and send them a picture of it and Mr. Pauler told me he will contact their HK dealer to give me a replacement. And he also said not to send them the defective record anymore. In one day, I got the new LP via EMS speed mail. That wiped out the bad experience instantly.
Did you look carefully? It may be one of the new series with which you get the original 12" jacket but, inside, there's only a coupon for a free download.
When I was in high-school, I decided to buy James Bond books. I would buy one with my allowance every week or two. Then one day I pick one with excitement and find it so boring. Chapter after chapter there was no action, shooting or anything. It wasn't until I got to two thirds into the book that I realized it was an entirely different book, put in the jackets of James Bond! Felt so cheated.....
Kind of like putting Bambi on and finding Debbie Does Dallas
That reminds me of yet another thing! Disney will not use any disc replicator for their content that does any X rated material for other customers. Apparently in the days of VHS a replicator did such a mistake and such tapes were sent to Disney's customers and since then, that policy has been in place. It used to create hardship for replicators as there was so much business to be had providing discs for that industry.That would be a happier surprise unless your kids were watching of course.

And the story goes that the reason VHS won out over Beta was due to the AV industry
