Would've been nicer if they included a Loopholes reissue too, a bit odd that, that one is probably more desired than the other 2, which i've got, but not Loopholes.

I am also missing loopholes. It's in fact the only flightless LP I am missing. 

So, looks like some new stuff happening in regard to flightless! 

FLT-020R, Murlocs - Young Blindness Reissue and FLT-034R Murlocs - Old Locomotive Reissue coming soon I am sure. 

Most recent release through Flightless was FLT-043, Amyl and The Sniffers - Some Mutts, so I assume FLT-044 will be Traffik Island, FLT-045 no idea however they are in the the process of pressing FLT-046, I assume this will be the new Murlocs, perhaps to coincide with the re-issues? 

Does this one have a disgusting trifold Friday music seems to enjoy on Bowie albums?

I am not an experienced image posted, hope this works :|

Hi Gaz, thanks for the quick reply...so they are on their way then, just hope mine hasn't got lost. Intriqued to see what this special' sleeve is like, got a link to that FB page at all?

It's one of those extremely unfortunate scenarios where I wake up at 4:30 AM to go to work, Scroll through Facebook while waking up and that is when I saw it and though, wow cool. 

Ill poke around and see if I can locate it again, lol.

Heya folks, Just wondering if anybody here ordered the Flightless CD bundle of the reissues?  if so, have they arrived yet? I'm still waiting for mine & not had a shipping notice yet.

Someone posted on Facebook they got it. Looks great. Came in a flight sleeve to hold the cd cases.

Also "Game the System"?

not sure how buying product at the price a company is selling it equals bending the rules to cheat...but whatevs.

Merry Christmas VC, never change.

Because. Get a job

If anyone else has one available slide on into my DM's, My wife told me I am under no circumstances allowed to re-sub

Ordered without hesitation, I don't own the original or the reissue coincidentally the only slowdive album I don't have any copy of, looks like a good one to pick up!. 

Thanks for the share. 

No new pressings showing on Pirates Press, however Murlocs are back, new album soon to be announced. 

Bundle is back up with slipmat

Has there been word on whether or not this part of the NYPS?

 

I’d assume yes?

Yes it is.

I'm not convince this is real. None of the official announcements mention Apollo and, so far, I haven't seen it up for sale anywhere else. Just food for thought.

If it were an independent retailer I would agree, however musicvaultz.ca is the Canadian storefront for Universal Music Group, they also have the complete album artwork with the Abbey Road OBI, which they have partnered with to bring into Canada on some of the original Abbey Road remasters, so all signs point to legitimate release, which has me very excited!

I assume they pressed the initial 2000, the additional repress of 7500 is likely the same as these, I presume the newest press of 3500? Is going to be flightless website exclusive 2nd press.

FAFYL almost sold out.

 

 

And it's all gone.. I wonder when they are going to dump the new 3500 up for pre-order.. These guys are making money this year that's for sure.

There will be standard black issues to come too...i'm guessing that's what the 7500 variant on PP job status page are.

 

Has anybody noticed the odd numbers now showing on Pirate's job status page, for all 5 of these albums? Plus..there now seems to another 3000 pressing of Oddments at the bottom of the page, with Croat wording, wondering what that is/will be?

I saw this. Too bad they didn't replicate original oddments package. 

Wow. Bundle is sold out already. I managed to snag one. 

No Canadian shipping.....

I'm still wondering, whom or when those 1000 (WB) & 2000 variants will be available. I wouldn't think Flightless would do 2 variants of each, given the large number they're about the release....so maybe ATO are getting those smaller quantities, perhaps?

Hard to say, I mean they also have the 7500 number kicking around as well... very curious.. ATO also used the word "Assisting" so I don't know if perhaps they will simply be a proxy distribute for the flightless releases? who knows, guy on facebook said his local shop had information in regard to ATO reissues, I have my ship check and nothing comes up yet.  

No matter where you are it's in an hour and 4 minutes from now... I think these will go surprisingly quick.

How fast will 5000 copies sell out? If I'm right, 9 AM AEST is 1 AM for me, so I'm wondering if I should stay up or take a chance and wait until the morning...

I presume they will be around at least a few days. 

Do we know if they previous ATO Releases were done at the same time as the Flightless presses? I am debating what to order today :)

As someone slowly discovering their back catalog, can anybody recommend one or two from this batch of five that are your favorites or "must haves"? I definitely can't spring for all of them but don't want to miss the boat on something worth picking up.

That's a really hard call..... I mean there are all quite different.. Float Along Fill Your Lungs is probably the one that is an absolute must.. 

Eyes Like the Sky is a really, really unique album, it's when I got into the band. 12 Bar is very good, quite psychedelic, oddments is kind of like Gumboot, all songs that didn't really fit on the other albums, has the best artwork by far though.
