I got January last week (and I love all four songs), but mine arrived in the mail badly cracked. I think that sw5110 mentioned having the same problem. Mine plays okay because of where the crack is located, but I'm worried that others may get one that is unplayable, or that future months may have more problems with fans getting unplayable EPs.

I was reluctant to mention the problem because the band is justifiably proud of their "nifty self-mailing sleeve" and I don't want to wreck the band's plans to put a new one out every month. But my guess is that the USPS sorting machines don't treat the sleeve with adequate care. Is there anything we can do to reduce the risk of cracked CDs without putting the whole plan in jeopardy? At worst, I would get mp3's of the songs from a friend if one of the EPs arrived in an unplayable condition.
