Fwiw, based on the comments in The National subreddit, it looks like mostly people in Canada have been getting shipping notices.

At one point there was an email about making sure your address in their system is current. But beyond that, if your membership was renewed in 2020, you should be getting this.

Apparently this has started to arrive? You can check out Cherry Tree's story on Instagram (you'll need the app to see it): https://instagram.com/stories/ntlcherrytree/2601882484452686230?utm_source=ig_story_item_share&utm_medium=share_sheet

We should totally have a Neil Young ORS/Archive/Live Series thread.

Neil's releases are so weird. He already released 3 of the 4 records from ORS Box #4 years ago with no fanfare, and Eldorado mysteriously showed up in some European record stores in the spring. Probably won't buy that box and will just get the individual Eldorado. But will probably get the ORS #6 box even though I already have Harvest Moon. Is it so hard to release them in order? Also, even with no release date, it's nice to see Dume on there.

If you're having trouble finding the LP on LP 1+2 discs, there are some people who have them on sale on Discogs for $25 each. Still a bit higher than sticker price, but yesterday the lowest price there was $60 for one of them. Mine shipped early from Bull Moose and will arrive tomorrow.

Already got a tracking number from Stinkweed Records. Not sure what they have left, but it's worth checking!

Thanks for this! Got the last item I was looking for that the local store didn't have. May have overpaid a bit, but it'll be better than never getting it.

Nice! Ordered this one direct from Dry Goods. Feel bad that my LP on LPs pre-order is with Bull Moose, but feel like I have to stick with it or I'll be SOL.

Woah! Way off.

Going to guess the price before I click the link...$120?

Excellent! Appears to be sold out now; hopefully some other people here got it.

Not the new box set, but certainly relevant to someone's interest: ImportCDs has a few copies of the vanilla vinyl reissue on eBay for cheap (also currently running 20% off $65+, and you can save $5 on eBay if you add a credit card for the first time): https://www.ebay.com/itm/Avalanches-Since-I-Left-You-Vinyl-New-/144029240578?_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l49286

With the 6-month lead time, it'd be a nice Christmas present to get for yourself. Unfortunately, I don't like myself enough to cough up that dough.

Latest update emailed out today: The project has advanced nicely since the last update, with two milestones: 1) Girl Talk, his engineer, and a vinyl expert all approved the test pressings. 2) The printer finished the jackets in April and shipped them to the plant. We are now in the queue at the pressing plant as a "workable" project. While they do have large orders in front of us, they are hoping to squeeze us in for completion early to mid-July. We were hoping for a more specific date, but we'll take their best efforts to get our projects pressed between more extensive projects. According to the plant, everyone in the vinyl industry is overbooked (they weren't surprised that our jackets took so long). We are adjusting the release date for preorders to late July but hope to begin shipping earlier in the month. I will be following up with the plant regularly. Any significant updates will be emailed (like this!), but note that we also might post minor updates at https://twitter.com/gtvinyl. We're excited to see this batch finally get pressed! Philo

I would not count on Amazon. They can be spotty with pre-orders on limited items, but it's not unheard of for something to come through.

Surely we could use one more thread.

The LP on LPs are up on Dry Goods for $19 each (although you've got to pay shipping and taxes). There are t-shirt and poster options, too.

Keeping my eyes out for an official pre-order, I thought the price and shipping were great for Sigma Oasis, and maybe it could be a few bucks cheaper.

The Pearl Jam fan club singles became a joke circa 2015 or so, and, yes, the 2017 and 2018 singles are just arriving now (after the program ended in 2018). But to give them some credit, all of the Vault releases have been high quality products (with some weird selections of shows); the 2020 release hasn't arrived yet, but so many things are delayed that that isn't very surprising.

Haven't seen this anywhere except Bull Moose yet--Phish is putting out a series of live releases on vinyl that include one song each (for now? Forever?). First two releases are Ruby Waves from 7/14/19 and Waves from 5/26/11:

Who would've thought that a thread about variants would collapse into a series of arguments?

It was OOS within 5 minutes, but after refreshing the page for 20 minutes, I eventually got the buy button.

I don't even have a rip of Vol. I. Yet somehow I have a rip of A Lot Of Sorrow.
