Pending charge for me too. God bless Bullmoose!

Cool cool. I have been trying to piece together that info for a while. haha.... I did pick up Abattoir and Nocturama so I guess the only other I need to buy as import is Dig Lazarus. I picked up Abattoir from an Amazon 3rd party for $25. I was happy with that.

Do we know yet if this well get a US release? I don't mind waiting if it will. But yes, those are good prices regardless. I'm down to only needing 4 of his including this one...

The specks are completely normal with colored vinyl. Just some black got mixed in with the gold/bronze. You'll never get them out. Don't try. It won't effect play. A couple of mine in the set have them too. No biggie.

I was at Columbus and Indy. Long gone in Columbus so I went an hour before showtime in Indy and there was already a short line. And yes everyone went right to the merch table and got one. Only a few minutes and they were gone. You got to pick which color you want. I got the red white and blue. The guy told me I was getting one of the last ones. Not sure if he meant for that night or for the tour. But I think most people were picking that one. You must get there super early to get one of those singles. Then you get to stand around for 2 hours drinking over priced beer before he plays!

Already over $100.... They really should have made more of these.

That is my fear with the 7". I'm planning on going when doors open. Just for the 7".... I kind of figured the setlist would be like this. When I saw the Adz tour it was all Adz (and Delighted ep) songs. With I think 2 older ones in the encore. I would not expect him to bust into Adz songs or Chicago in the middle of C&L songs....

Correct. A sticker on the shrink.

And my box is here. So far so good. It does come in that pizza box thing with the regular box inside of that. Flip open box with the LPs inside. The box is numbered but on the shrink on the box. Not sure how useful that is but it is numbered. I got #1230/1500. I opened the first 2 and the sleeves seem good. Not super heavy but not cheap feeling at all. Printed inners. No splits on the seems, packaging was ok. No idea how the originals are to compare. The LPs seem more gold than bronze to me but they look good. Flat and heavy no scuffs. Haven't spun them yet but they look ok. I'm ready to start playing them!

I only got an email from UPS. Nothing from Matador/4AD. But logging into 4AD site shows the order as complete/shipped.

Mine is scheduled for delivery for tomorrow.

25 at each show is not that many.... I'll be at 2 shows but I bet they go really fast. There'll be no guarantee. And here I was happy to be going to a non GA show so I could avoid having to go when the doors open...

Yes! I was driving and immediately pulled over to do this. Haha. Thanks!

And for what it's worth since y'all are talking about it, my clear Benji plays just fine...

I'm a HUGE fan of Benji, but had not been as obsessive of his back catalog as some here. That might be changing tho! But I dearly love Biko. Essential is hard to say. Very quiet subdued versions of most of Benji. I nearly like the Biko versions better and am glad I picked it up.

Ummm, what the heck. I was asleep at 1:30! Was fun to wake up to the 50 emails of people that were lucky to snag them both tho...

I think it's just the tour 7". But not heard anything about that since AK showed that vine or whatever of them playing one. I'll find out on the 17th...

Yeah. They always sell new things for under retail. I love them. The only things I pre-order are things I think will sell out or whatever. Shouldn't have with this one as I paid $19 from AK with shipping!

Still nothing from AK for me so I picked it up at my local. They had plenty of clear copies and for $12 I didn't mind. I'm sure I can find a good home for the other when it arrives...

Miles Davis Kind of Blue up. I'm happy with my mono copy of this. Do I really need it on marbled blue?...

I can't stop laughing at the different names they called everyone. Sorry to not be contributing anything of value to the thread. But that's really making me lol.

That makes me laugh so much. And the album is so not funny!

I did get an email from AK with a download link for the whole album so I'm happy with that. Only problem is they called me Jeff in the email. That is obviously not my name. :-/ Haha. Did they just call everyone Jeff in the emails?

Cool cool. I'm not overly worried or anything. I've too much to listen to right now anyways! I do find it annoying to pre-order from the label when it doesn't show up by release day... But that's my last gripe. I will be patient.

Have been out of town for several days and was hoping my AK pre-order would be here when I got home but nope. I apparently didn't create an account when I bought from them so no way to check on the order status. Going to try and email them to see if they'll respond....
