Drive OST completists and/or people who always wanted that limited OG 7" can partially sate their needs with this... https://electronicsound.co.uk/shop/p/issue-80 The mag & 7" combo do tend to sell out so I'd move on it if you want one.

Yeah, they (Absurd Scam records) were being very coy about things at the independent label market in London on Sunday, but they were selling some tri-colour 7"s apparently and other Third Man stuff. The store is just off Carnaby Street but it's boarded up and not open yet.

All gone in under 3 minutes. A few stores had put up their pre-orders early, so people were ready for it.

Got word on this a month back but it was light on details. All I heard was MBV had cut some kind of deal with Domino and press interviews with Shields were being set up.

Then what would be limited about it? It's like people these days expect someone to come up, tap them on the shoulder and say 'pre-order's up'. Otherwise they're gonna head straight to facebook to piss and moan about not seeing the email, tweet, facebook post or whatever, and how they're really sad and it's ruined their day. Which is what forced Martin's hand with this lottery nonsense. Most of us here would accept it as being part of record collecting. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose and sometimes you find a variant that's better than the one you originally got your knickers in a twist over. But that doesn't mean I want my name written on the sleeve of every future Duophonic release. God forbid we need money in the future and want to sell off some of the collection and now have that shit to deal with. It's all kinda soured me on the label to be honest.

Still available!

They brought it in with the scratch-off winner 7", which I thought was fair enough (I won one, so no complaints), but making this the deal for all future Duophonic stuff isn't really endearing to me either.

Well that lasted a whole 12 minutes...

I ordered a record from Australia back on June 19 and updates had it sat at the airport for the last month. I got notification today that it's in the country. International mail is taking a while from certain countries, but March??

I hate those mailers. They really are dogshit. It's 50/50 whether the record arrives with a corner ding or worse and it seems the major UK distributors (recordstore.co.uk, kontraband, sandbag etc) use them exclusively. That said, lovely gold auto!

Thanks for the tip! Was casually after a copy if I saw one cheap and this is great! £24 posted to the UK.

FYI -- they're getting screwy with spacing the release dates, but it's been on a Thursday at 3pm (UK time) every time so far.

I wasn't expecting the pre-order to drop for another week! They're really churning them out!

If Red Eye has it (and god bless'em, my old stomping ground), it's not going to be hard to find.

It's an 'rsd first' release, so I reckon it will be easy enough to pick up down the line.

Echo the Paul Westerberg love. Been hoping that would one day appear. It's gotta be my favourite solo release of his.

Brighton was really good considering they only arrived at the venue with their gear half an hour before they were supposed to go on!

Did Spoon even ever have a hit? Or this is a subjective 'could've been' selection? It's such an ordinary tracklisting that seems to focus on cohesiveness and latter period blandness, rather than variety and versatility. Really did love this band when it seemed their entire career was one long uphill battle and then when they get the acclaim the fire goes out and everything turns to schmaltz. And damn straight no 'Metal Detektor'. A Series of Sneaks is still the best thing they ever did.

Some of the vinyl on that list are exclusive to HMV only in the UK, so may be available in other territories.

Scratched two and got nuffin. Kinda would like to know what the chances of winning are!
