highfives

The SRC variant is $27.99 right now if anyone is still looking. http://www.shopradiocast.com/products/The-Mars-Volta-%252d-Amputechture-2XLP.html

Just got a shipping notification from Hot Topic!

Annnd bought. At least I don't have to F5 that HT page all day tomorrow.

That's what I thought, which was why I put a question mark at the end of it. It seems weird they'd hype it that way, but it was probably a mistake - or just a way to drive people to UO.

Circa just posted on Facebook that the black variant will be exclusive to Urban Outfitters.(?) http://bit.ly/1r58CGv

Looks like I'm going to keep refreshing the vinyl section all day long...

Yeah, holy shit, that's gonna be a frenzy.

The Black and the White might be interesting, otherwise I'm passing. I was hoping for an Athletics - Who You Are Is Not Enough repress.

You can bet on it. (Not by me, but considering people were pre-order flipping this thing last month, it's a safe assumption).

Holiday reissue bundles are up if you're into that kind of thing. http://www.madamezuzus.com/music/

Anyone know what time this is going up on Hot Topic's site?

24th, which is tomorrow.

Because Matt said he's asking Jay to do a print for this release.

http://instagram.com/p/vrpOA2I85H/ It is a lacquer, but it's still progress. Prints are probably going to be offered as well.

Test pressing begins! http://instagram.com/p/vqxQ5Eo8_0/

Drum + Fife

They said it on their Instagram post.

I remember him posting that all of the Electras were gone.

I almost like that better than the pink splash...

Latest Instagram update: Matt confirmed this is being remastered for vinyl from the analog masters.

That's a terrible deal. You can get the same bundle, minus the second game and controller stand, for $450 on Amazon. No, there's not a payment plan, but you're saving at least $120.

I got my copy the other day. I'm surprised at how thick the gatefold stock is. It reminds me of what Waxwork is using for their releases. Getting this for $16.99 shipped is a bargain. However, has anyone tried using the download card? That is the most convoluted process I've seen yet...

So January or February for pre-order. Fuck yes. Be aggressive when pre-orders become avail (in Jan or Feb). Save the donating for those with real need. 'Tis almost the season, eh?

I guess he's not announcing when he's putting more up now. I'm tempted, but the SRC version sounds good.
