I was in my local BestBuy this weekend in Manhattan, and was very surprised to see a dedicated record display for the new release of Coldplay's Viva La Vida on record! The display was completely empty save 1 copy left. The sign said $9.99,
I paid around $18 for it from Amazon.com, which turned out to be scratched along with several pops in playback. Amazon is going to refund me the full price, but cannot replace it:
I'm sorry to hear about this situation. Usually, I'd be able to create a replacement order that would be shipped to you as soon as possible at no additional charge. Unfortunately, I can't do that in this case because the item is now unavailable from our supplier.
If you return the item, we will refund you in full, including associated shipping costs. If the item was part of a set, please return the entire set.
I suspect that the first pressing is junk, maybe they will get it right on the second pressing?
