The fact that it's not a gatefold vinyl may be leading some people to think that it's a single LP.
HMV selling the gold at £12.99? As it'd be affected by the same issues, who would we contact? Our point of purchase (HMV) or the pressing plant? Whatever resolution there is to the gold vinyl problems it "should" be a one size fits all surely, e.g. with proof of your purchase you get a replacement?
Pearl Jam had a lot of issues with Lightning Bolt, those affected had to contact Universal I think it was and were sent a replacement LP.

I just took mine back. If they repress, I'll try and get one, but won't lose sleep if not.

Got merch order yesterday for the kid and I to share:
Nice hoodie.
Like the tee shirt too.
Cd there.
Gold vinyl came also (packed in lp box that was undamaged), but after opening lp box it's got a pretty damn bad corner bend. Typed note stapled to invoice stated something along the lines of "we're sorry to say your record was damaged in shipping we will be sending you a black lp to account for this". I already bought black lp last week at local shop to share the love.
Not the end of the world, but little bummer. Anyone else get such a note?

Anyone been able to track down the regular vinyl copy in Northern California? I've been to Amoeba SF, Amoeba Berkeley, and Rasputin in Berkeley and none of them have it and all of them have said, "it shipped, we should have gotten it, but we didn't" or something of the sort.
I'm happy streaming it on Spotify, but I'd really like a physical copy, so this is inhibiting my listening!

Got my second gold vinyl in the mail today (long story). Same poor quality pressing.
There is hope, though. Attached to the invoice was a note apologizing for the damaged packaging and a promise to ship the black vinyl free of charge. No eta date, but it's a start.
