Smiths available anywhere? Mildly surprised a release with 12,000 copies is this hard to find near list price. 

The blue Paranoid Android is beautiful. I hope this ends up turning out like that, but yeah, the descriptions say it's opaque.

Anyone know if there will be multiple pressing because care mostly about whether optimal will be doing it worldwide or whether us will likely get inferior pressing plant

This is the real question. OK Computer deserves better than Rainbo

I've seen some people get screwed by recordstore.co.uk before, they oversold one of their signed editions in the past.

Here are my overall thoughts on this:

• I sort of wish they opened the vaults more for this release. When the rumors about a deluxe OK Computer started making rounds, I fantasized about a Pet Sounds Sessions-esque release — Original album, new mix, instrumentals, acapella tracks, demos, b-sides, etc. All that’s new here is the remastering (which I doubt will be that significant) and the 3 unreleased tracks.
• While this new set includes the 8 studio b-sides, there are four b-sides missing that were on some of the CD singles. Two live tracks from No Surprises, and two remixes from Karma Police. I think the band are going for an “OK Computer Pt. 2” type release, which would make sense why they wouldn’t want to include those.
• The 3LP set is a pretty good value for $40, but the deluxe box set is not worth $100 more, in my opinion. Is a box, a cassette, a book, and more artwork really worth $100? We’ll see. This is the most expensive deluxe set Radiohead’s ever put out, so quite a high bar has been set.
• The wording regarding the remastering is really odd on the website: “all newly remastered from the original analogue tapes*  *But why? The original analogue tapes are the highest definition version of the record, and nothing will ever beat them. However in the 20 years since the original release mastering technology has improved a lot, and with new equipment and techniques we can make a digital version that's an improvement of the original transfer.” So are they saying they’re digitally remastered? It sounds like they forgot to say “all newly digitally remastered” in the first part. 
• Regardless, my Parlophone pressing of OK Computer and all of its 12” singles (plus the 7” of Paranoid Android) sound AMAZING. I highly doubt that this release will compare in terms of quality, but I hope it does. Pressing quality is a concern considering what happened with A Moon Shaped Pool. 
• I was hoping for a complete b-sides box set at some point. With this existing, I don’t see that happening (until maybe 20 years from now!). Now I’ll just hope for boxes of the remaining albums, but they’ve already skipped Pablo Honey and The Bends, so… maybe not?
• Finally, they need to reissue the promo floppy disk:

Apparently the blue is limited to 4000 US, 3000 UK, making 7000 total. A Moon Shaped Pool was limited to 9000, if I recall, and that is still easy to find and affordable. I don't think the blue vinyl will be hard to get a hold of come release day. 

I hope there isn't a gap in quality (Rainbo vs Optimal) like there was with the colored versions of AMSP. 

Well, the description of the box on W.A.S.T.E. does say:

"The boxset is currently mail order only and may never appear in your local record store."

Bull Moose got back to me and confirmed that they won't be receiving any of the boxset.  As far as they can tell, it's exclusive to the website.  Someone order this with me so I feel better about kerplunking $140 this morning.

I ordered the box, too. However, I'll probably cancel it before it ships because it's hard to justify spending $100 more for a box, book, and cassette. This is their most expensive special edition they've released and contains the least new material considering the only unreleased stuff is the three new tracks (available on the standard edition) and whatever is on the cassette.

Does anyone have any idea what happens if you cancel your membership when you still have credit in your account?

I signed up for a one month membership for Demon Days but I don't want Tidal. I have some credit in my account so I'm going to buy something from their store, so if I do all that and cancel before May 2nd, I won't get billed for Tidal, right?

I bought a pack of 10" ones and I swear they caused hairlines that weren't there before. I'll certainly be sticking with MOFI ones for 12" records.

Got the two things I wanted. Thanks!

Already seeing some decent priced listings on eBay and Discogs for the titles I'm interested in picking up. I think I'll wait until stores officially put them up (like 1234go or Amoeba) just so I can get them both shipped from one place to save on shipping. 

None of the stores near me are getting any of the four things I wanted. Oh well. Hopefully I'll get lucky and get them when places start to put them up online.

In case anyone was thinking of picking these up:

Here's the tracklisting

i love import cds

I've found Rainbo to be really consistent.

consistently garbage 

I assume MusicVaultz cleaned up their act with the labels since a lot of people seemed to have the problem. Anyway, it doesn't sound like they're trying to screw people over on purpose, and you can always resort to Paypal if anything goes wrong. Honestly, it might be worth some hassle since some of these sets end up being 60%+ off normal prices.
