Boy, I would be ALL over this if they would at least respond to my inquiries about non-fill on Travelin' On LP VI from the new Exclusively for My Friends Box Set. I sent them a detailed email. First in English, then in German. No response in either instance. Makes me wonder if this "Audiophile" label really stands behind their product. Questionable to say the least.

What? You've only tried to contact them twice? This seems to be an epidemic. Heavenly Sweetness is the worst. I contacted them via their website 7 times, with a very reasoned, detailed, non-accusatory inquiry regarding two Blue Note reissues I purchased that may have been the worst pressings I've ever seen. Not a single response. Same thing with a pair of Sandy Bull LP's on Sutro Park that were equally horribly pressed and transferred, this time five metered, non-accusatory inquiries looking for assistance. Nary a response. Hell, even a "Sod off!" would have been preferable to complete silence.

So much for trying to support small labels and local brick-and-mortar record stores with a "No Returns" policy. Sad.
