Retep

Dammit, forgot the code. Emailed them due to the PW code not working and added this so hopefully they honor at least one. Looks like it's off the site now too.

If it does go up on the HT site tomorrow, will it be the same case as other releases with the late night launch or would it be launched at 10AM like the bands post said?

Does UO provide discounts on shipped items if the listing is inaccurate? I went to a store and saw this with a completely different track listing compared to what UO is touting. Unless UO exclusively snagged the deluxe tracks too.

They had another 'vinyl day' in May this year, unrelated to RSD. http://www.barnesandnoble.com/blog/july-25-vinyl-day/ Needless to say, it was just as underwhelming as this one.

The exact situation on my end too, picked up the Sia and Brandon Flowers variants they had though. The managed to have a random giveaway for a Crosley turntable and headphones too + a guess the album artwork thing for another tote bag. Neat idea but it isn't really well done, the 'exclusives' they pick up are incredibly niche.

Pretty LQ, if you're anticipating this that much I'd wait until tomorrow. I've dug all but 3 tracks personally. The songs with Janelle Monae's pretty stellar.

Just leaked, the fully fleshed out version of REALiTi is great too. Makes me even more bummed she nixed it from the vinyl copy.

Doubt it. The listed album artwork on the preorder site is completely absent of the track. They're not going to re-adjust the artwork for the vinyl release and develop new plates. I just don't see the rhyme or reason behind it at all. I'm optimistic it will be, I just wish she wouldn't have scrapped it from every release apart from CD or digital. I get the demo being left off entirely, it's just weird.

It's going to bother so much if I spun it, she should've just listed it as a deluxe track or something. I wonder if it's due to her scrapping that whole pop album REALiTi and Go were going to be on.

Really bummed REALiTi won't be on the vinyl release. The demo for that was really promising.

Definitely going for the UO variant. Decent album, prefer the S/T a little more though.

Good ol' silly Ross. I'll wait for the 4000 copies printed up to drop off steeply in price.

And now we wait for the word of Travis. Amen.

I'm genuinely surprised that UO opted to snag a variant but HT didn't. Weird.

Even though the Stripes are one of my favorite bands, I'm not super interested in having every single concert they did at the Gold Dollar. It's a neat concept but this will be a pass, especially with those lackluster bonuses. I wonder if they'll top the Bonaroo boxset for me.

Glad I canceled my pre-order, High By the Beach made be optimistic that she'd be going back to the BTD/Paradise sound but she seems adamant on the UV vibes.

Thanks for the 30 off code, managed to snag the new BMTH album along with some other things I was on the fence with. $15 per record hurts my wallet a little less.

Amazon and Bullmoose pre-orders are up, finally some reasonable shipping costs. I'm guessing this will just be standard black at this point but there's no confirmation of any other variants yet.

I'm really surprised UO isn't getting a variant of this, seems right up their alley. If nothing else pops up I guess I'll just stick to black.

From the wording of it being called the 'Re-birth tour' edition I'd imagine that this will be repressed at a later capacity in some form. This is likely just the most limited version of it/possibly the only way to get both in one set.

General music consumers rarely look into music reviews as it is unless major news networks report on it, if she's not within the public's eye via a top 10 single or had a random scandal break out ala Miley Cyrus then most people aren't aware of her possibly even having a new album or songs apart from CMM. It really does, people are referring her success in Asian based markets to that of Avril Lavigne. Weirdly the people in that market gravitated towards her and tend to be more dedicated to an artist in comparison to the U.S. in U.K.

My lucks always been 50/50 with them, my most recent order for the Passion Pit record came surprisingly packaged really well. Cheaper to go the UK route still.

It will probably flop sales wise, she has little to no promo going into the release tomorrow in the U.S. with the way the labels been showcasing the record + it's ridiculously low on the iTunes chart the night prior to release. She'll be lucky if she pulls in 80k first week. That said, it's a shame considering how good it is. I'll snag the vinyl release once it's out.

The LP itself seemed in line with what labels are pushing recently at $22. If HT does get a variant there's no way it'd be inflated as high as it is direct with shipping costs. I'm not super aware of them on a success basis, but I occasionally see their fans giving out about the random 7" they put out. I'd imagine it'll sell decently.

With the deal HT seems to have with them merch wise I'd be surprised if they didn't get a variant too. How anyone can justify a single LP at $35 shipped off the webstore is beyond me though.
