181 copies up -- sold out in 57 seconds.

nice, but...caveat emptor -- too many times i get an e-mail a day or two later saying they can't fill my order due to lack of stock. worth a try, though. EDIT: pre-orders at Resident sold out. EDIT #2: last 100 available at AK as of 2:30 p.m. EST Friday.

about 200 left at AK; 36 at Port of Sound. the UK/EU tie-die is sold out.

FYI, as of 5:20 p.m EST: bullmoose: sold out. 490 remain at AK 46 at Port of Sound "less than 10" at End of an Ear Rough Trade: they're known for mysteriously canceling pre-orders without notice, so you'll be rolling the dice even if a link is live.

EST. IIRC, there should be about 200 remaining.

might have been a good move, b/c inventory is already <1,000.

not quite a nerd, but a bandwagoner when interesting things happen on the show...

Trebek: "Answer" (no doubt, a daily double...boom-boom...boom-boom.....boombooomboom) -- a New York-based, DJ-curated, vinyl record-centric "workshop" with an online presence that frequently frustrates its customers. --What is TTL? James and Ken would be on the ball, i'm sure.

yeah, i've seen it for a few years now, but, even though i'm from texas, i don't really like "boots", haha. i'll probably cave eventually, though, unless they do some sort of an anniversary pressing in 2022 for a 20-year anniversary or some such. as for HAARP, i'd buy it, i guess...but i doubt they'll ever do a run of it.

FYI: just got an e-mail from TTL. the pre-orders that were made successfully will be shipped out " early next week." the remaining 220-ish will go live on may 31, unless "we decide to put a few up for sale before then", which is apparently what happened this morning. this rigmarole (esp. considering the strict limit) is very NC-ish.

on another note entirely, TTL's "instructions" on each pre-order page states the buyer to place a separate order for the item and not to combine it with any other in-stock item. by the same token, on their main pre-order page, it states (in underlined fashion) that if one places an order consisting of both a pre-order item AND and in-stock item, "we will ship your in-stock items first." of course, i (negligently?) placed an order for a copy of this plus an existing, in-stock item. has anyone ever encountered an issue w/ this? pigs get fat; hogs get slaughtered? lol

not on the record; their live performances of the songs at gigs...

7 was decent, but most of the tracks from that album fell quite flat when played live at both of the most recent gigs i attended; teen dream had the 2/3 tracks that put them on the map...so i guess there's that.

lol. on another note, i consider this to their best effort album-wise, so that you don't have any pressing of it is surprising (even though the other pressings mainly suck).

twitter / insta mobile notifications save ppl, especially w/ TTL. normally, i get the shaft. so, nabbing a copy of anything from there is always a crapshoot unless you're on the ball. i didn't roll craps this time. watch for random "restocks" in the next few days, but they often appear at weird times; and, keep in mind -- historically -- they DO stick to their stated number of limited copies.

Muse - Hullabaloo

late to the party. if anyone bought an extra VMP version, i'll buy it from you for a relatively conservative flipper price (tbd) -- in other words, i'll make it worth your while...to an extent. DM if you're so inclined.

i suppose i can't read, hah.

There Will Be Blood OST (Jonny Greenwood's best OST imo) will finally be pressed on vinyl. Out 18th January. PO: Pre-Order

defect in shipping notification for me, it seems. e-mailed them. appears to be arriving tomorrow. got thru tracks 1-9 so far (digitally). interesting.

it was available at amoeba like 15 minutes ago. question: when does amoeba typically ship preorders?

ah, ok. i must be blind, because i don't see it anywhere.

where is pressing quantity mentioned?

the tame impala reissue currents box set is on sale for $69.99 CDN. apply the coupon code of "UWELCOME" and get 15% off. w/ free international shipping, the total comes to abt. $60.00 CDN, or $46.00 US PPD. too lazy to convert to Euro or UKP atm. https://shop.umusic.ca/*/Sale/Currents-Collectors-Edition/5P8M0HSR000 in my book, a resulting 50% off list, coupled w/ less than any prior eBay or Discogs PPD sale, counts as a deal to me. cheers.
