jonnywreck Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 (edited) This is definitely an interesting situation and I think it provides a lot of insight into the current state of the vinyl industry/problems that happen on both the consumer and supplier. To be honest, I really hope that the Radiohead camp caught wind of this, realized the fiasco that ensued, and cut back on supply being sent to these major online retailers in an effort to get these to physical brick and mortar stores. #inaperfectworld Edited May 8, 2017 by jonnywreck freezeflash 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ejc625 Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 (edited) Got the same email from Bullmoose, though they did tell me orders will be fulfilled according to the time they were placed. So if you were one of the first to place an order after they went up, I imagine yours is safe. They also said they hope to have final numbers soon and will let everybody know.

natenomm Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 Just when this thread was starting to die down! I got the same email, but at this point I don't give a fuck if I actually get the blue version. I just want to watch this thread burn. faaip de oiad 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admerr Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 Got the same email. Meh. If I get the blue- great. If not, ill just get the black from my local shop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joneboon Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 my local store cant give me any guarantees either. Thing still needs to be pressed and its not really clear who gets blue variants, probably with exception of some UK shops. So there could be plenty more on release date, or maybe none...

ethereal Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 never truly understood how sites took xxxx number of preorders without actually knowing how many copies they were getting. seems pretty scammy, especially with all these cancellation emails Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timsimmons Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 (edited) I'm guessing Bullmoose sent that email to everyone who pre ordered a blue as a CYA Move. But I'm willing to bet that people who pre ordered before the tweet and probably 15-20 min after will be safe. I know I've gotten an email like this from them before and they ended up getting enough to cover pre orders.

I'm thinking we'll be good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek™ Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 Eager to get to the bottom of this fiasco, I reached out to The Radioheads on Facebook to see if they could clarify anything. Tom York himself replied directly and apologized for the confusion. Amazing. Apparently there are 700 of these worldwide, not 7,000. Only two zeroes. He's unsure where the extra zero came from, and asked that I just buy the deluxe boxset to be safe. I told him I'd do it if it meant no alarms and no surprises. He told me to fuck off and blocked me.

So they probably don't have a realistic idea of how many they'll get either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea, I pretty much only order from Bullmoose and never called them an evil giant. However, I do think that any store regardless of size or "evilness" should look into guaranteed allocation before putting things online.

My comment wasn't meant to sound as snarky as it did when I re-read it. Bull Moose doesn't seem to have a history of doing things like this so I bet they either really thought they were getting the copies and something changed or there was such demand to get the pre-order up that they went with what they thought they were getting in.

I'm not in the industry, so I'm not sure... and there is never a full "guarantee" on anything in life. However, if the need be, maybe they just wait until they have them in hand? I doubt distributors change allotments all that much, but if that is the case then most of these stores should just wait until they're in hand. At least Bullmoose doesn't charge until they're shipping their orders! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
