I was having the same problems so actually reached out to them about the issue. We have had a bunch of back and forwards over the past 24 hours and it seems to now be resolved (for me anyway).

The deluxe 4LP version is a great price on their Bandcamp... I have to assume it is a mistake. Shipping is very reasonable too (to Australia anyway). Was only $60 AUD (about $45 USD) shipped to Australia.

Post with Australia is messed up at the moment. Our tight lockdowns are causing havoc internally with post, but also with things getting to and from Australia. We are not really letting many/any people into the country, so it means the amount of planes coming here is a fraction of usual. I just had something take 3 months to arrive from the US... but then something arrived in 2 weeks. I can't see the pattern yet why some things are quick and some are taking forever.

The Australian JB-HiFi site has the following description describing the difference between the deluxe and the regular: "Domino are immensely proud to announce the signing of My Bloody Valentine, with the band’s seminal catalogue being made available digitally in full for the first time ever this March. New physical editions for each release will follow in May 2021. Isn’t Anything and loveless have been mastered fully analog for deluxe LPs and also mastered from new hi-res uncompressed digital sources for standard LPs, with each being made available widely for the first time ever. Fully analog cuts of m b v will also be available on deluxe and standard LPs globally for the first time."

For either the Aussies (or the completists) amongst you, the black with splatter is on the Australian webstore: https://artistfirst.com.au/collections/touche-amore/products/lament-lp-black-aqua-blue-gold-splatter Can't comment on overseas shipping (cost etc) but like everywhere post between Australia and the rest of the world is pretty wacky right now.

Last night's setlist was a little more balanced: https://www.setlist.fm/setlist/king-gizzard-and-the-lizard-wizard/2019/forum-theatre-melbourne-australia-23917cd7.html I was there and I thought it actually worked remarkably well. Some possible bias because being in Melbourne I get to see King Gizz A LOT and so to have a set that for the first time in a long time was predominantly new material was really refreshing. It wasn't as jarring as you might think. The run home including "Self-Immolate" and then finishing with "Cyboogie" in particular was gold.

we got it live last night in melbourne so looks like it will be into the regular set. was a bit of a buzz to be told they were about to play something new and it was going to be dropping in a few hours. needless to say it went down live VERY well. monster indeed.

oh sweet irony that i am about to get on a plane to leave melbourne for the states and couldn't order lp's to be sent 10km away from flightless hq looks like i'm getting on free airport wi-fi at my first transit and hoping i can get a bundle...

i'm in melbourne and won't ship for me either so not a country thing

Yep, is embossed. Haven't had the original pressing in my hands, but it is an embossed logo on the crystal ball so assume it is the same. Haven't given them a play yet... hopefully over the weekend I can crank these jammers up!

The jacket says Made in the Czech Republic on the back of all of them. Only II is a gatefold, I and III have an insert. All are on White Drugs... I is WHTDRGS-014 and II is WHTDRGS-015. What is a little confusing is that I has matrix ZE5357 and II has ZE5754. I'm not totally up with it all, but I think that might be Zenith here in Melbourne? Hope that's helpful!

it’s true. just picked up bronx i, ii and iii at the melbourne show. nice surprise is that bronx i is a grey marble colour, ii is white and iii is orangey marble. yes!
