Sigh.  My LPs should have been here today, but Bell Gardens limbo prevented that.  They'll hopefully be here tomorrow.

 

Amazon sent my Yellow Teeth 7" in a very large bubble mailer.  The actual 7" must have slid around a TON in shipping and is scratched really badly.  Thankfully Amazon's return/replacement is really easy, just hope they do a better job packaging this one!

 

Today is apparently not my day for MM releases...

Just a heads up to anyone thinking about getting the coloured ones from Banquet: these are not Banquet exclusives, so you can also get them from other record shops/amazon.

 

amazon Germany has 2 versions of every album up for preorder, the coloured version being the more expensive one:

 

Long Drive: http://www.amazon.de/This-Drive-Someone-Colored-Vinyl/dp/B00NG6FLEU/ref=sr_1_1_twi_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1414681076&sr=8-1&keywords=modest+mouse+long+drive+vinyl

 

Lonesome Crowded West: http://www.amazon.de/Lonesome-Crowded-West-Coloured-Vinyl/dp/B00NG6FMGM/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1414681271&sr=8-1&keywords=modest+mouse+lonesome+vinyl

 

Should be cheaper if you factor in shipping than Banquet.

Also keep in mind, automatically applied taxes from europe are not applicable when buying out of country, Cost shows as EUR 45,98 however when you check-out it is corrected to EUR 38,64. Actually not bad.

 

Juno.co.uk has good prices too, http://www.juno.co.uk/products/modest-mouse-this-is-a-long-drive/551038-01/

Coloured comes to 30ish via Amazon but I've heard Amazon does a terrible job of packing their shipments (and this would be from Germany). Thoughts?

Also, there is no way 300 can be correct, can it?

The amazon mailers i get from Canada, US and UK are all good and i've never had a problem. Never rec'd something from Germany but i would imagine they use the same mailers.

Just got off the phone with Fat Possum.   Talked to their warehouse manager (nice guy).   He said it was very unlikely that anybody in the States had received a color variant as they were all meant for Europe.   Said there were only 500 of the Banquet pressing and that he couldn't be sure but didn't believe they were sold out (which would fit with the fact that Banquet is still allowing orders). 

 

Ordered 2 because it kicked the total down to 35 an order (which is what it would have cost me to have a friend ship a Newbury to California).   Will find a friend out here that wants the other copy.
