Good news. I've been contemplating getting this and the America release. It's good that I didn't jump the gun as a rectified version seems to be in the works.

that's the best news!! 
thank you 
Hi FR, I hope replacements will automatically be shipped to those who ordered the album. That's the best way for all. But if we have to email, fill out a form, scan & copy the barcode, send copy of original order, mail the existing disc back first, etc. that's not so convenient
I've seen it done with varying degrees of complexity. For example, for season 8 of the XFiles bluray box set that had messed up black levels, and remastered Fifth Element from Sony to fix some issues, all we had to do was request the replacement by email and attach copy of original order. Replacement discs were mailed out in a timely fashion by both Sony & 20th C Fox (pre-Disney of course).
Please keep this replacement process as simple as possible. Thanks!!
Your reply is just what I was hoping for, Steve
A rethink of the listening process, prior to manufacture, maybe the order of the day.
I'm giving this one an 8 with a hopeful uplift, once it's been rectified.

Greatly appreciated and thank you for letting us know. Though since the first thing I always do with any new music is put it on hard drive, I'd also be fine with nothing more than definitive instructions for how to fix it myself. (Obviously that's not an option for everyone.)
Ummm, no. These discs for the most of us are being shipped out the door for $20 plus tax for many of us. Four-pack bundle deals, discount codes, and free shipping (if you spend enough is much less than $25 a disc. In fact this is the lowest price on an audiophile type physical disc since Audio Fidelity releases could be found 'on sale" on Deep Discount's website nine years ago, almost a decade.
I don't recall the exact process for getting the replacement discs for the Chicago set, but I'm sure others here do. IIRC, it wasn't very complicated. Little more than email requesting it and some nominal verification that you had purchased the set.Hi FR, I hope replacements will automatically be shipped to those who ordered the album.

Used a CPI calculator:
$6.98 (1973 WEA group CD-4 disc price) is $47.84 (2023)
[$25.01 (2023) is $3.65 (1973)]
The Rhino Quadios seem like a great deal at $24.98.

True on one hand. The other to take into account though, is that the expenses of producing these titles were paid for LONG ago. This is the equivalent of re-releases from the 1920s in 1973.
But I have no issue with Rhino’s price. I think it is fair.

And, no doubt, the Rhino Quadios would sound better too.
Any other label licensing these titles to reissue would have to charge an additional $5 per title. But since it’s in-house licensed, and a bulk of the sales are from their own web store, we’ve been given a better deal here.
A lot to be thankful for.

Me too !!!! (Although with Carly, I want a box set). I can't wait for the next batch with hopes of something else very pop, like Carly Simon, Average White Band or Bette Midler.
I couldn't agree more!
What in world is this link doing in my post?
Guess it only shows as a link in the original post. I mean, what is going on?
I responded to a reported post request in the Spinners POLL thread which is currently an absolute mess. Apologies if I cut in the wrong place.

Rhino knows who ordered the discs from their store
All they have to do is check their orders make a list and ship us replacement Spinners
Easy.
They know all the Spinners discs they sold were defective. Those who bought elsewhere can email requests. I believe with the Chicago box set replacements all you did was email Rhino with your address info.

I don't think Rhino is that generous.
Matrix number would be a more pratical way to inform what discs are defective and what not. Doubt that a "fixed" disc could have all the exact same matrix number as the bad one.
