Urban Outfitters have an exclusive version of this on, presumably, a different shade of blue. Limited to 1000 copies. https://www.urbanoutfitters.com/shop/sunflower-bean-twentytwo-in-blue-limited-lp?category=SEARCHRESULTS&color=040

Ordered the signed LP and picture disc single, hoping for a more limited/indies exclusive variant of the album to show up soon!

The 7" is now available from Rough Trade.

I messaged a couple of UK indies who say they'll be getting the single in, although they never mentioned if this was a wider release or the promo single mentioned in the original post.

Is there any way other than being a member of VMP to get one of their monthly secret 7"? I know with a UK based vinyl subscription that presses exclusives the band get a certain quota to sell as well so is this the case with VMP? If not, is anyone willing to part with the recent secret 7" by Shame?

Looks like there's only circa 200 of the white vinyl with Alternative artwork available. US store states only 50 available and only around 130 available currently on the Europe store (presumably started at 150.) There's also an I Love LA 7" out this Friday available in UK indies that isn't on the Rough Trade Records store.

Also available on Norman Records for £22.99 - https://www.normanrecords.com/records/164305-elastica-elastica Only really got into Elastica in the past couple of months as had seen them compared to a lot of modern day bands that I'm into, was gutted when I saw the prices the LP (both original and any reissues) were going for on Discogs so this is a very welcome reissue. Hoping for The Menace too but ti doesn't seem to get the same recognition as the debut from what I've seen so not sure how likely that'll be.

Elastica's self-titled debut LP is getting a repress out 17th November. Looking at the description on Rough Trade it is the same as this years RSD release except the bonus 7" flexidisc is black instead of red. Not seen any pressing numbers for this release yet. https://www.roughtrade.com/gb/music/elastica-64026d0d-585c-4234-bd37-8a50b6aaf149
