Amazing McAwesome Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 Definitely ordering a signed one. Any source to back up that it's limited to 2000? I only ask because I haven't seen specific quantities mentioned anywhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dreamover Posted September 19, 2015 Author Share Posted September 19, 2015 I added the signed copies note on the original post. Basically comes out to $6 more than amazon UK for the signed copies. I went for it and cancelled the Amazon order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dreamover Posted September 19, 2015 Author Share Posted September 19, 2015 I really hope she tours this material. I've seen Bat For Lashes twice and she is such an incredible performer. I'm holding off listening to more songs until I can spin it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boourns Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 She truly is an incredible performer. Wish she would tour more often. I flew across the Atlantic for Green Man because I loved the lineup so much, and I freaked the hell out when I learned about the special guest set. It was brilliant. True story. Last time I saw Bat for Lashes proper, I was tripping balls, and after her set she did a signing. I was still messed up, and she signed my CD with a "special peace sign" to "guide me on my journey." Had a dream that she (and Sexwitch) did Levitation and Desert Daze next year. Hope that comes true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SNEAKORDS Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 finally received my copy from amazon today. super cheap & flimsy packing, not the usual record mailers US amazon uses, the cover is a bit bent up but the record itself is in good shape. great album, I just wish it wasn't so short and came with a download code...
