Snagged a mint used copy of Caroline Rose's Superstar pink variant for $22 CA yesterday. Glad it's not going to VMP.

Stoked I just snagged two tickets to the sold out Wakefield gig. Can't wait to finally hear the older tracks live. Plus I'll save a buck and grab the LP in person. Shipping is killing me these days, barely ordered anything online in almost a year.

http://boards.4chan.org/mu/thread/59756760/has-anyone-received-their-copy-of-divers-other DC always goes high end with JN's releases. Thicker card stock, lots of prints and inserts, and (for those who pre-odered) a pretty swell poster. No box, as this is only a 2LP. Though that Amazon price is ridiculous. It's totally fucking worth $30. Also, it has leaked.

As if these are in USD? Way too pricey.

What a dink. But I still love his early records.

Whoa, huge thanks for this, was not aware either. Gonna get my local to bring it in for sure.

Saw them in Montreal Saturday and the shirts were sold out by the time I got through the door. Lineups were about an hour wait getting in so they all sold in that time. Apparently the merch guy only had the NA tour shirt available that night, and the poster. Didn't really matter since I wanted the death classic tee, but damn why they so tight on shirts? I've been avoiding ordering one online since shipping is so stupid to Canada these days. Fucking gnarly show though, good god.

Man I got so pumped when I read this thread title but I noticed when you click on the link that although the Amazon listing does say "2LP vinyl" in the title, the format says its CD. Sadly the product details also reads "audio CD". I'm guessing this is just a mistake on Amazon's part and that they will have a vinyl page up eventually, but the link looks to me like the wrong format. My guess is the "number of discs" section reading two is due to the whole deluxe reissue thing.

No problem. Seems like Ottawa and MTL's Jazz fests often share the same lineup sine they're a week apart.

Can't be more excited for this. Catching them live later this month, hoping to grab the LP there since its sitting awfully high at $31 plus shipping on amazon.ca

Still waiting. Figured there would have been shipping confirmation. Guess it's en route.

I caved and grabbed it locally since ordering online would put it close to $40 with shipping to Canada. The shops said it's the distributor's cost pushing it up. All four stores I've visited have the exact same price cause they know its gouging. Its gotta be a Canadian shipping cost issue, sooooo so so so bogus. We have seriously lost control of our postal system in Canada and our current joke of a Government is encouraging their cutbacks. And mark-up in Canada is mostly based on shipping costs. These days I'm seriously a 1:10 ratio now for online:in store.

Sweet Jesus, I just saw this regular 2LP at my local for $36.99. Retail should be $25ish, am I wrong? Is there another NA edition I'm not aware of besides the deluxe?

After years of hemming and hawing I finally broke down picked up Figure 8 (the only Elliott Smith record that took me so many years to get into), the 2010 Plain repress...and MY GOD is it awful. Worse than cd/mp3 transfer, three of the four sides are distorted and buzzing, and the packaging is shite. Definitely has that cropped border issue, and an ultra weak sleeve. It's like an MOV release, except they acrtuaklly use the Masters (most of the time). And all in it was $38 from Amazon after they lied about free shipping. What burns is I almost bought it in 2010 for $22 from a local and I was all "hmm, it's my least favorite album of his...". Dumbass. I can't believe some of the Plain pressings of Figure 8 are mint, I guess I got bummed on this one. Also, this just in: I'm officially done ordering from Amazon.
