Customer Reviews
Packing is top notch! I'm 3 deliveries in and I've never seen a retailer pack their shipments so securely.
I've placed multiple online orders with Comeback and it's been an easy experience every time. Selection has been excellent, communication and shipment have been prompt, and items are well packaged.
All I can say is this is a family run business that truly cares for each and every customer.
These guys are the best! Everything is packed professionally, their prices are fair and their customer service is top notch.
Their customer service is incredible.
Super fast shipping and very sturdy packing.
It’s great to support a local record store when they are in it for the customers. You got a customer for life.
Just a damn good vinyl shop.
Great online selection, fair prices, fast shipping, and my order was packed securely/safely.
Items are shipped quickly and packaged nicely to avoid damage from those not so nice handlers.
Your order will always be packed in a top-of-line box specifically designed to ship vinyl records—made from high quality cardboard built to prevent seam splits & corner bends.
Everything inside your shipment will be bubble wrapped for added bump & drop protection, with as much extra filler material needed for a snug, safe ride to you.
As an additional free service, your records can be opened to have their discs shipped behind the jacket to prevent seam splits. Just tick the box below the add to bag button.

Description
Never before pressed on vinyl, IBM 1401, A User's Manual, is one of Jóhann Jóhannsson's most beloved works. Released in 2006, the decade since it's release has seen Jóhann establish himself as one of the most important composers in the world, notably scoring movies such as Arrival, Blade Runner 2049, Sicario and The Theory of Everything. Johann's scores have been nominated for two Academy Awards, two Golden Globes, a Grammy and three BAFTA awards. He was awarded the Golden Globe for Best Original Score for The Theory Of Everything. Inspired by the work his father did in the '60s when chief maintenance engineer of one of Iceland's first computers, Jóhann originally wrote IBM 1401, A User's Manual to accompany a dance piece by long-standing collaborator and friend, Erna Ómarsdóttir. For the album release, he rewrote the piece for a 60-piece string orchestra, with a new final movement (built around a poem by Dorothy Parker) and incorporating both electronics and reel-to-reel recordings made by his father and friends in 1971 of the IBM 1401 mainframe computer singing the hymn "Ísland Ögrum Skorið" by Sigvaldi Kaldalóns as it was being decommissioned.
