When you check in on a Fiona Apple thread and find a community theatre production of the “Eat My Shorts” scene from the Breakfast Club. 

create an account (if you don't already have one) and make sure you're logged in. add the items you want to you cart. at the checkout page, pick the country/region to where you want your order shipped from the drop-down menu. type in your name.
 
for the mobile number, keep the Australian country code the same (+61) and in the mobile number field, type: 04xxxxxxxx (e.g. i typed in 04, followed by the first 8 digits of my mobile number). that should eliminate any "invalid number" error message that prevents you from proceeding to checkout. in the alternative, keep the Australian country code (+61) the same and just type in: 452070075 (this is some random, generic number for fence company in australia that has worked for me in the past). JB Hi-Fi isn't going to call you about an international online order -- they'd e-mail you with any problems.
 
then type in your address details. pick a shipping method. then, the "Proceed to Checkout" button should illuminate to a green color, and you should be able to move on from there.

They don’t. I tried. 

I've definitely noticed this as well. I've found I'm much more likely to get flimsy, glossy inner and outer sleeves with a noisier or lighter weight record from a US press and sturdy, matte inners and outers with a nice, quiet heavyweight disc from a Euro press. Most recently this happened to me on Snow Patrol's Reworked. US press felt cheap and sounded awful but the Euro press is gorgeous and absolutely feels worth the money.

Lady Gaga - Fame Monster (Deluxe Edition) [3 LP] (UO Exclusive)
Lady Gaga’s 2009 album, The Fame Monster is packaged in a deluxe edition available exclusively at Urban Outfitters. This is the first time the Deluxe Edition will be released on vinyl as a 3XLP package with the 14 track album, The Fame on Coke bottle clear vinyl, and the 8 track album The Fame Monster on silver vinyl. The deluxe album features the hits, “Bad Romance,” “Telephone” featuring Beyoncé, “Just Dance,” “Poker Face,” “Paparazzi,” “Alejandro” and more!
 

Yeah... I mean, I’m sure it goes both ways with exceptions, but on average I find that my Euro imports are much nicer than stateside presses.  Both in vinyl quality and packaging.

I don't understand the prevalence of just the disc inside a PVC sleeve. PVC is known to be terrible for vinyl and it loses you the artwork, which is one of the nicest things (imo) about records in the first place. 

High on vinyl for the 1st time 5th June

Really hyped for this. Everything they've put out so far has been extremely good. They've always given me New Order vibes with a little extra grit, especially on stuff like "Teeth"

U-Haul’s are wider, cheaper, and have handles.  If you tape the bottoms, they can hold quite a bit of weight.  I wouldn’t advise carrying them by the handles but depending on how much you stock, the handles are nice for light use or getting an initial grip.  They can also be slid into any IKEA shelf with just a bit of overhang, in case unpacking them is not a priority and you don’t want a ton of record boxes cluttering up your floor space in the meantime.
 
Shoutout to @rooks for recently sharing all this info with me.  I was impressed with how effective it was.

We recently moved and my collection is about the same size. The Uhaul small sized boxes were a lifesaver they fit LPs just about perfectly. As it was a short distance I just put them in the hatch of my car and drive them but I imagine they’d be fine in a truck or pod packed carefully as long as it’s not stopping for days in the desert.

+1
I just wouldn't stack them too high, probably 3 high at the most.
Be sure to number the boxes with a collection that size.
And unless you're paying someone, you just have to resign yourself to the pain in the ass of lugging them. It is a very good feeling when you're done...haha

I put in orders at both Amazon and Target in case of a cancelation, but both are still looking okay—I guess we'll see how the next two weeks go. That said, if both go through okay, I'd be happy to sell you one of mine.

Weird. It's like someone at the record label got reaaallly excited after someone told them the Killers had agreed on a title for an album they can't actually confirm exists...and then posted a link for people to give them money.

Exactly the clarification I was looking for. Thank you! I’m assuming the listings I’m seeing on those sites are just the first ones and the rest will be going up soon. 
 
cheers!

This press release sounds like the black versions will be available pretty much everywhere and the color versions are exclusive to her store.

I'd wait personally. This reeks of SOV/uDiscover/Music Vaultz releases down the line. My shop started getting access to some of these exclusives (not this batch yet).

liking the songs, especially the one with Stromae

Wow, this is great news, thanks.
 
I live in California but ordered through Amazon UK: 3 LP's total 63 UK pounds = about $80 including shipping.   That's slightly lower than Amazon US or Bullmoose, plus Amazon UK shows the release date 2 weeks earlier.  

Fucks sake, no 'High' reissue and only/1000. Should be at least a 5000 release and High has never made it to vinyl.

I have never ordered something so fast. Amazon is the way to go there too, much cheaper than the official shop. I'm surprised they didn't take this opportunity to do High, would be nice to get that someday.

All 3 available on Amazon UK at £20.53 at the moment

SRC just responded to me on Twitter that green is the standard retail and there is no black version, for anyone who was wondering.
