Kitsugi is a great album. The only one I like after Plans. Narrow Stairs has a few good songs but some of it is horrible. 

Surprised there's no thread for this one.

Just saw her in Chicago and there was a limited edition tour only pressing that I don't see on discogs. It's blue/pink pinwheel. Definitely not marble like most of the other limited pressings. Came with a blue envelope with a blue lyric book and a sticker sheet.

looks like thehardtimes corrected it and the splatter is the 2LP deluxe. 
 
The polyvinyl preorder is for a blue smoke single LP. 

Wait wait wait... 
So this edition of this record is available for $27.99 to anyone who wants it (limited to 2000).
Or it's available as part of a $39 subscription, but you didn't know you were getting it?
 
LOL

Combining a volvelle with QR codes? Now I HAVE seen everything.

ear plugs are a solid solid choice.   not that anybody gives a shit, but i had a hearing test a couple of months ago and i still have perfect hearing after as many shows as i have attended, shows i have played, and after working in music venues for years.....all because of earplugs.   i still get made fun of for wearing them at 38 and i still don't give a fuck because i can hear shit that none of my friends can

this is why i was thinking ear plugs

i don't think there's any pressing of any record that would get me to buy vinyl (or anything) from fucking wal mart.

Here's what I'm gathering: 
Isn't Anything and Loveless are only available to EU distribution. The official store had copies of standard Isn't Anything and Loveless that will ship from the US but the Loveless allotment  has sold out, so new orders will ship from UK.  Unclear if they'll restock in the US store. Though, I would assume if they planned to these would say 'sold out' to US instead of splitting shipments. 
 
The Domino announcement implies that all the standard LPs will stay in print for at least a while, unlike the 2018 reissues but it's not 100% clear.
 
The mbv LP has less restrictions because sony doesn't hold US distribution rights, so that one will be available from US distros. 
 
 

i wouldn't cancel anything if i were you. way too early to tell if all retailers will get what they ordered. 

I'm curious whether they'll actually sell the 8 song LP separately. It kinda...doesn't make sense as a release separate from the book? There's no longer a dearth of high quality National live releases on vinyl and this seems clearly like it's a low-energy, bonus add-on to make the book more appealing for their vinyl collecting fans. The National seem like they want everything they release to fit a certain level of thoughtfulness, so I would echo the above posts that any future pressing will come with some kind of slimmed down 'tether' item to the book, whether it's a paper back or an expanded jacket with a 35 page excerpt booklet or something. We'll see.

i don't know. it's not like it's a full length LP. It's only 7 songs. I think they would have a hard time selling these books without the record. And they know if they just sell the record, a bunch of fans are going to be pissed off. The Boxer Live LP never got a second press aside from the RSD press. There's really not precedent for this exact situation. 
 
It's really a gamble though, because if you really want the record enough to buy the book and then there's a vinyl-only option, I don't see the book holding its value. But if you don't buy the set waiting for a separate LP and it never comes, the prices will only go up. 
 
I think they may put the songs up on a streaming platform like they did with the Boxer Live LP and the Live Cassette sets, but releasing the record on its own would be kinda shitty after a bunch of people paid a premium for it initially. 

I have a special filing cabinet in the kitchen for flexis. Mine is plastic and has a replaceable liner, but I've also seen some metal ones. Once the cabinet is full, I move them to a bigger cabinet on the side of the house. These nice gentlemen come pick up the cabinet contents once a week. I can only assume they are achieving them for me somewhere, hopefully in alphabetical order. 
 
But for real, I just keep them with my 7"s.
