tuneout

If you're from Arizona you should check out "Halls" on this album. Bet you'd dig it just because of it being set in Tucson & Tempe.

I keep getting shafted on his preorders. Seems like everyone gets theirs before mine even leaves the warehouse. Looks nice though (not my picture): https://38.media.tumblr.com/df270ff109a2ab7987635d385c8191e9/tumblr_ndyh6vxSdB1qfjmumo1_500.jpg

Has everyone gotten a shipping confirmation? Mine still says unfulfilled

One of my friends got a shipping confirmation on vinyl (mine still says unfulfilled) but it looks like vinyl is starting to make its way out.

I am in love

It says all preorders sales are final so I wouldn't count on it. The blue variant is worth the price to me (though I agree that t-shirt is just bad)

From Andrew: "I believe amazon will sell a stand alone black variant. If we have leftovers from the presale they'll sell on tour."

I can't remember if it was here or on Absolute Punk where someone said they asked him about EIT, and he's currently fighting with WB about pressing it the way he wants to (with b-sides and stuff) vs what they want - probably another cheap ass pressing. For a while there just hasn't been demand... from what I remember TGP didn't sell out that quickly, it just sort of did eventually, and then it was hard to find in any stores so demand eventually outweighed supply as more people started collecting since 2008. P&T was only available via preorder I think, and that one doesn't go for insane amounts like EIT does and TGP can, but still is decently jacked up because it was only on the pre-order and nowhere else (probably because by this point he and WB knew they were cutting ties). Now that he's away from WB he can't really do much about it.

I was at some of the last Matt/Gavin tour dates and he still had TPU vinyl on sale.... The album is being far more heavily promoted/pushed with a stronger single so I would not count on those ice blue variants lasting for as long as TPU has. However, since he said ice blue is only being sold 'through him', that makes me believe there will be a black retail variant, or else he'd say it's the only place to get it on vinyl at all. With the way his records skyrocket in value once sold out, I don't think he'll keep this limited knowing how people bitch at him for the rare Jack's catalogue. Even if he does have leftover and puts them out on tour, they're going to be gone by the time the tour is halfway over.

"Physical Preorders go live at 10am EST tomorrow (Tuesday), in the andrewmcmahon.com store.

The CD package goes for $28.97, the Vinyl package is $38.97 and the uber package, with the compass, sweatshirt, patch and autograph poster goes for $98.97. The "Translucent Ice Blue" vinyl is limited to 2k copies pressed and only sold through me. Thank you all for your support"

I'm debating doing the same thing since for me it's less about having a special pressing and more about just having the record on wax so if I can exchange my 5 year for a better-sounding 10 year that has extras I'd be all for it. They can easily push well over 1000 units of this album so hopefully they don't go that route again. So many people love it and want to own it that it would really suck for a bunch of people to miss out.

Not a surprise WB will suck out every last penny he's worth. That blows if it comes out on RSD as ANOTHER super limited release. The 5 year repress is already nothing to call home about packaging & extras-wise, would be a real bummer for the 10 year to not be everything he wants for it.
