And does anyone have a better idea what that Don’t Look For Light in Tunnels release will be?

Is it not still November, as it's always been?

Went for the /135, but I know in reality the /235 will actually look better in the flesh. Dat more limited number tho'

Only just found out about this band, and loving what I have heard of the new record. Probably good and bad I missed the variant pre orders, but white is still available over here.

Whhhaaa? That's incomprehensible; You'd think the best way to resolve this was to contact you first instead of blankly fuck it off and refund it. I'm outraged on your behalf, they're utter dickheads.

Relapse did that to me, and I was so fucked off. I was desperate to pay for the record and shipping again. But they told me the record was 'out of stock' when they had just informed me the record was sent back to them. It costs a lot on the aftermarket, so me managing to grab the rare variant it seconds after the release was a waste of time.

I only remember as I ordered 4. And instead of being sent in one delivery, they each arrived a day after each other. It was the same DPD driver, and by day 4 we were best mates. 

Mine weren't royal mail. All DPD. May differ though to be fair.

Let me know when there is a bacon scented, limited vinyl release.

Not quite sure what it is, but ordered immediately. 

Only digital up so far?    C'mon Taylor. 

I'm waiting for granite to appear on Rough Trade UK. They usually split allocations like that, so hope the others don't sell out in the meantime.

HMV arrived. And they sent out a mail as the OBI isn't with it, so I need to send off for that.

Loveless (analogue cut) sounds great.

The fucking sleeve is amazing. The printed inner is great and should be standard practice because it's such a nice touch, but the outer is the nicest fucking sleeve I've ever seen. I don't even want to touch it.

I bought a copy of Loveless the day it came out back in the day, and that copy was carried around to parties, left at friends houses and just played a lot. So I am saying it's seen better days.

My deluxe has just arrived, and as you say, it's such a nice copy, and album worthy of treating properly, looks and feels gorgeous. This is how to reissue records.

Really like this, thanks

Won't be in the US AFAIK, it is a Blood Records press and I have not known of a US distributer in the past.

I managed to get a deluxe from HMV. I have an original press, bought the week it came out. But taking good care of it wasn't top of my priority list back then, so it isn't in the best condition. So I am happy to get a replacement.

This is fascinating and bizarre. Did they issue you a refund for the difference?

I also see that the price of the US blue limited edition dropped from $42.99 to $32.99. I can't think of another example of a price of a pre-order dropping by ten dollars in the first couple days it is available.

They charge when they ship (90% sure they do) so it just works out without any hassle.

I think prices have been corrected. I looked at the RT blue yesterday and it was nearer £30 but now it’s £21.99.

Yes, I ordered as soon as it was announced, and got an email saying the price had dropped.

I can’t wait for this!

HMV exclusive yellow vinyl also

https://store.hmv.com/Store/Music/Vinyl/Blue-Weekend-(hmv-Exclusive)-1921-Series

Someone with better eyesight than me noticed the obi says /1000 but I would be amazed if that were the case.

Mine arrived unscathed. Distressor just sounds wrong. No crackles or pops, but just muddy as fuck.

Feels like has a pretty big warp, looks like a rollercoaster. Doesn't affect playback too much. Sound not great either. 

I am just glad I didn't get charged import fees (yet anyway). That would add insult to injury.

I got the Galaxy Rough Trade  pressing from Nov and I thought it sounded markedly better than the Euro Indie Blue/Green/Gold Swirl I got in the Summer.

 

I've got this, and briefly got confused as I thought they sent me black. I am colour blind, and it's just really, really dark green. Only can tell by holding it up to the light.

Cool story bro, eh?

Yep. I am in the UK though. I know the LPs came from the UK, not sure about the 12. Pretty sure I ordered from the US webstore though.

I can't remember seeing the FYE Reputation at all, so can't kick myself for not getting one. I lucked out on a RSD 1989 though. £53 on eBay. This is highly unusual as it's normally me who is the schmuck selling just before things get bananas on the pricing.

Shit, I'm still not sure I have all the ME! singles I ordered

Same. I haven't got an ME variation I ordered, but got shipping on the 12 inch pic of Cardigan.  My Snow Globe has shipped too.

I am pretty sure there is one colour available everywhere at the moment. It's just that we are expecting 103 different variants as we've been conditioned.

Pokemon, gotta catch em all.

R.I.P. all our wallets.. again. 

I was both happy and sad when I saw the phrase 'physical release '
