Mine fits perfectly in these oversize sleeves - https://www.squaredealonline.com/a.asp?s=Jm

It came with these 9 post cards & 2 stickers as well. There's also a 12"x12" full color booklet with lyrics for the album and new B-sides and some production info for the extras and lots of photos.

Thanks, man! And nope, no change to the set up. Still using the same 3 pieces of beat up poster board that I spent $1 each on. Plus my big living room window, level adjustments in Lightroom and clone stamping in Photoshop:

Apologies for the watermarks. eBay flippers steal my photos all the damn time

Getting there...

Mine just arrived. Holy shit this thing is thick. Taking photos. Sit tight.

Pay yourself first. 25% of my paycheck is automatically distributed to my two savings accounts. Which become emergency fund money and fun money.

I had this badass one made http://joshritter.merchtable.com/accessories/evil-eye-slipmat

Scored a Gibby Hanes Flex-Ray single from the RRS this morning. Plus a ton of their SXSW merch

Congratulations! Oregon or Maine?

I handle merch, photos, maintaining Josh's sites, tour promo and lots more. I'm at almost every one of his shows, so if you're coming out to one, definitely say hello! Nowhere online. We sold a super limited amount in our webstore. And the online retailers who had them have run out (Amoeba, Newbury Comics, etc). Some local record stores might still have copies. The deluxe edition is denoted by that little yellow flag at the top that says "Deluxe Edition" on the front and the hand numbering on the back. Good luck, man. Awesome! And thank you so much for picking it up. Mine sounds killer. I'm sure yours will, too. Come see Josh kill these songs live. For a taste, NPR has a stream of his album release show in NYC right over here - http://www.npr.org/event/music/172415060/npr-music-presents-josh-ritter-in-concert Josh and the band are also playing on tomorrow night's (Tuesday) Late Show with Letterman. Emilia Clarke will be on, too. I'm so bummed I can't be with them for it. I wanna meet Khaleesi

Thanks, man! Are we coming anywhere near you on tour?

New slipmats are up online! http://joshritter.merchtable.com/accessories/evil-eye-slipmat I'll also have 'em on tour.

Yep. Indie record stores should be receiving copies of the Deluxe LP. Or you can order it from Newbury Comics. That's where I got mine. The entire press of 1000 deluxe LPS are out in the world somewhere. We only sold about 200 of them in our webstore

Lots of preorders have been showing up since Wednesday/Thursday. Don't worry. Yours will arrive. Digital downloads who people who preordered from our webstore will be sent out Tuesday morning. And if you bought a ticket to one of the shows on our spring tour (www.joshritter.com) your ticket came with a digital download of the album as well, which will arrive in your inbox on Tuesday morning.

It's no secret I fucking need this, like I don't need anyone.

NPR is streaming the entire record right here - http://www.npr.org/2013/02/24/172486394/first-listen-josh-ritter-the-beast-in-its-tracks And while you wait for your copies to arrive, KCRW has a free download of "New Lover" - http://www.kcrw.com/music/programs/tu/tu130225josh_ritter_new_love Get at it

That Les Mis poster is incredible

Can't wait to grab one of those babies
