Make you you also try manually punching the tracking number in on the FedEx site. The tracking link in the TMR shipment e-mails usually doesn't work for me, and the app I use for package tracking also rarely shows Vault package updates for some reason (probably an issue with their FedEx integration).

Vault 37 feels so cheap. Why in the world wouldn’t they do a triple gatefold with this one? I also really wish they’d stop using photos as a Vault package item, but I’m sure it’s a cheap way to pad out the occasional package.

I wish more places had Apple Pay for crazy drops like this. +1 signed no problemo.

Let’s get this back on track, shall we? In related news, Steve Mason has a new solo album coming out in January. I haven’t looked too hard for US preorders, but there are a couple “limited” variants with signed prints available from the UK: Silver vinyl: http://www.stevemasonmerch.com/ PledgeMusic exclusive white vinyl: https://www.pledgemusic.com/projects/steve-mason-about-the-light

The description for the meet and greet says “includes entry to show” in bold, so it must. I think all Pledgers were given presale access, so I assume everyone who ordered just the record, etc got the same confirmation email with code. In my limited experience, these things are pretty explicit when you also need a ticket. And here, they are definitely explicit on the item page that it’s included. That said, if you email them to confirm, I’d be interested to know if they have a plan for where the tickets will be.

New live album up for preorder on Pledge Music with some nice configurations and add-ons: https://www.pledgemusic.com/projects/jose-gonzalez-live-in-europe Standard version, limited signed box set version on colored vinyl with 7” and used guitar string, and signed test pressings (at least 50 were pressed, maybe more). I personally opted for the meet-and-greet, since it includes the signed limited box set and entry to the concert of your choice from the upcoming US tour. Since tickets are at least $45 plus fees here in NY, that makes it like a $30-40 premium for a meet-and-greet and soundcheck, with proceeds to charity. Pretty good.

Apologies for the off-topic bump--but which one of you was at the NJ show last night in a Limited to One t-shirt? I know it was one of you...

Shields' perfectionism at work, I expect. In a similar vein, he was shooting daggers all night at the on-stage monitor guy at the NYC show, who looked rather terrified. It was actually kind of funny.

Same here. @Iggy_Pilot, has there been any word of a superior/inferior pressing?

Arrived today, so turnaround of a little over two weeks. Better than expected. No free vinyl (and a packing list that explicitly says so).

Note the shipping is up to $36.33 for the LP bundle. I was waiting on the tour in hopes that they'd have copies, but ended up ordering yesterday since that didn't pan out. If they just made it an $80 bundle inclusive of shipping, I'd feel better. But $45 + $36.33 hurts.

Checked for you but sold out. They’re down to just a handful of T-shirts.

Anyone know if they're selling these on the current U.S. tour?

Just didn’t see mention that it would be boxed, though that would certainly make sense!

Is there a box I’m not seeing?

Out October 5, 2018. Available from Merge Records (which ships free in the U.S., and includes a pin and poster), the band's merch store, and Arts & Crafts in Canada. Merge is also offering a t-shirt bundle. Limited "Peak Vinyl" edition (heh...) is on yellow-in-clear "creamfruit" vinyl. No word on how many pressed. Standard on black. https://fuckedup.merchtable.com/pre-orders/dose-your-dreams-deluxe-2xlp-standard-2xlp-2xcd https://www.mergerecords.com/dose-your-dreams Canada: http://craft-shop.ca/artists/fuckedup/fucked-up-dose-your-dreams Stream of first track: https://fuckedup.bandcamp.com/album/dose-your-dreams Merge also has a pre-order for a new "limited edition" 7" out September 7. Again, no word on pressing number. https://www.mergerecords.com/raise-your-voice-joyce-bw-taken

Also possible they jumped the gun and are cancelling everything. Yellow vinyl up on her webstore: http://store.jmonae.com/dirty-computer-color-vinyl-2xlp-w-lenticular-cover.html

That's a standard disclaimer used whenever they're selling leftover posters and the like. I don't think anyone would expect worse damage than you might have from a poster handled at a merch table.

This just came with a small signed promo card, packed loose in the mailer. Not exactly a signed copy as promised. Kinda lame.

I've been able to order 10 liter boxes of reagent water off Amazon in the past. Usually around $30-35 with Prime shipping. Availability comes and goes, but the brand is Ricca.

It is a much cooler pick-up than click-click-click on Discogs!

Glad you finally got a copy! Hopefully priced better than the one up on Discogs. The Sadies' "Stories Often Told" LP had been a white whale for me for years now (tough to find at any price), but managed to snag one up on Discogs the other week. Not cheap but so it goes...

It actually came in a decent corrugated mailer (Banquet-branded). Is that a recent change? Perhaps they used those horrible, thin UK mailers in the past? This is what they used: https://www.lilpackaging.com/buy-packaging/book-wraps-packaging-book-mailers/vinyl-record-mailers-lp-record-wraps/
