I also just bought the new St. Vincent "Strange Mercy" Limited edition. It's alright, better than I anticipated, and I generally hate all this new generic indie music coming out (pretty much everything that is a top indie record on Amazon right now is just dull.)

I ordered "Neva Done" LP early October, and I finally received the vinyl on last Friday (12/16) (it was originally supposed to ship out before or on 11/25, but my copy was shipped out on 12/13) I was not happy about the delay at all.
I am not too convinced that there are only 400 copied available, although I do believe that the number is quite limited. (On my copy, number (supposedly serial number) is hand-written on the label.)
Now, the record, it is quite good. No over-produced BS, just solid, raw production. I kind of wish that it included the beats on YouTube, but the LP is dope! It was worth waiting. It is pressed on good quality vinyl as well.

Similar story, My LP shipped on time but they upped the production number from 400 to 700 after I ordered . Pretty sneaky on the labels end, (Because I was much more inclined to buy a limited edition 400 pressing then a limited 700 edition press, but labels pull that all the time). My only problem with my pressing is that the inner sleeve on the open end of the LP jacket got torn, and there was little paper dust all on my LP and in the jacket. Otherwise the LP is pretty fat.

I got # 330/700 (unless they add more production numbers )

As far as new digs go I just picked up Animal Collective "Sung Tongs" on vinyl along with their "Peacebone" and "Watercurses" 12" singles.

I don't believe those "super limited press" advertisement from any record labels, but I don't think Spice of Life had it pressed a lot anyway (my guess is they've ordered 1000 copies to a record pressing company.)
I won't list the number, but mine is between 1 to 200. It looks like it was written with Sharpies. I didn't know that there are 700 copies officially available now.
My copy got the inner sleeve ripped a bit, probably like yours.
The vinyl is heavy, good quality pressing. They should improve the shipping process, but the product itself was great.

Word! I've actually got mine spinning right now. I have a love/hate relationship with UGHH as a distributer, but right now they're selling Count Bass D "Act Your Waist Size" for 5$ on LP .

No, I didn't order from UGHH, I ordered directly from Spice Of Life Records.
