No announcement on social media, but the vinyl record is now up for preorder: Zebra stripe, 300 copies, £25. Shipping to Canada was rather pricey at £16.

Be sure to add the digital download to your cart alongside the vinyl (or CD) and use the code "FREEDOWNLOAD" at checkout to get the digital download for free.

I got mine on the weekend from my local record store in Vancouver (Red Cat Records). I did get them to special order it the day it went up (and sold out) on the Beggars Arkive store, so I'm not sure what distributor stock is looking like right now. What a mess this has been...

Oh yeah, I don't think deluxe boxes are shipping for anyone just yet.  I could be totally wrong there but I think it's just the single LPs that are starting to show abroad.  I'd love to be wrong here because I'm dying to hear that these are trickling in, stateside or otherwise.

I got a tracking number for my box set on Tuesday. It's currently on its way up to Canada.

Edit: I ordered from their US merch store.

Is that good or bad news?

That's what I'm wondering as well, but we probably won't know until people have it in their hands and can compare.

I don't own this album on vinyl yet, but it seems the consensus is the early 45 RPM pressings are vastly superior to the more recent 33 RPM pressings. I've been on the verge of buying the rather pricey 45 RPM version for several months, and this new pressing isn't making the decision any easier...

Has anyone been able to confirm the latest repress is a repress of the 45 RPM pressings from 2007-2008? The description on the store has the same "vinyl remaster courtesy of Bernie Grundman" sentence that accompanied the 33 RPM represses, but I’m guessing it might’ve been left there by accident.

I emailed David at Suicide Squeeze. He said this isn't a repress of the 45 RPM pressings from 2007-2008, and that "We recut the lacquers at 45RPM and moved to another pressing plant."

Send them an email at the info@vennart address.  They might be able to help.

Mike tweeted back at me that they'll continue investigating shipping costs, but I'm going to assume they are what they are. The Polaroids are already gone, too.

I had to sit out on all the vinyl preorders due to shipping costs. Hopefully the black variant makes it over to shops in North America...

On the bright side, I finally secured my handwritten lyrics of Music for a Nurse after missing the Demon Joke Pledge!

Nah, shipping to the states on the box set is 43.80gbp.  I'm looking at over $150 for the box set.

Beats the £81.90 shipping to Canada!

For real this time?

My copy arrived today on the west coast of Canada ... Unexpected, as it only passed through Illinois two days ago.

I ordered right when the 10:00 AM do-over went up and got #732.

Man oh man people are PISSED

 

Looks like it's legit sold out, Thrice edited the post and removed any reference to it being up at 10am.

 

 

It's gone folks.

Wow ... Leave it to Sandbag to royally fuck this one up. I had it in my cart around 7:10 and it sold out as I was checking out.

I wonder if those who ordered from Arkive right when the link went up on Thursday morning had theirs shipped out immediately by mistake. I ordered early the next morning, and my order's still in processing.

I got my boxed edition in Vancouver yesterday, so that covers both sides of Canada.

Just got my box set here in Toronto, so Canadians should be getting theirs any day now.

 

I ordered from the UK store to ensure I got vinyl made in the EU, but the order still shipped from the US. The center labels indicate they were made in the EU, so perhaps all the boxed edition vinyl were sourced from the same European pressing plant.

I contacted Sandbag about the validity of the 20% off code if I cancel my Firebrand order for Broken and The Fragile and got this reply today:

Thank you for your email.

 

Unfortunately, due to the high volume of orders for this pre-order, all data has now been collated and your order is currently with our shipping hub. We are therefore unable to cancel your order at this stage.

 

Sincere apologies about this, if you wish to receive a refund you are more than welcome to return your order back to us for a full refund.
 

Sorry again for any inconvenience caused.

 

Kim on behalf of the customer service team. 

Has anyone canceled their Firebrand order in the last day or two? I'm thinking the rep didn't read my message and thought I wanted to cancel my Sandbag order...

Just noticed the Deluxe Edition page on mwY's store now says "SHIPPING LATE SUMMER/EARLY FALL 2015".

Burnt Toast still has it. Maybe they'll get some more.

Thanks for the link! Grabbed a copy for less than it would've been at the show.

They were sold out of the Brother, Sister LP at the merch table in Seattle last night.

Just to provide a quick update, Amazon.ca shipped Crisis last Friday, and appear to be shipping Watch Out this Friday. They're listing 6 and 2 remaining, respectively.

Is that CAD or USD converted?

CAD.

Self-Titled, Watch Out! and Crisis are now up for preorder on Amazon.ca for $25.31; the box set is $102. They're listed as shipping on October 14.

I just want to know what Yasiel Puig thinks about the band if he has been made aware of their existence and if he has an exclusive 1/1 Puig variant lol.

THANK YOU Vapor! Just to make sure, thats the black vinyl 2011 RSD copy, right?

That's correct.

I was wondering if I could ask for a simple favor. I need the matrix numbers in the runoff groove of the 2011 RSD Worship and Tribute. Does anyone on this thread own that release that could get those numbers for me?

Thanks everyone.

I didn't even know that this was being pressed on colored vinyl, so I got a nice surprise when I opened it up!

There isn't anything written on the sticker to indicate that it's on colored vinyl. But, as mentioned earlier, the sleeve isn't sealed, so you can take a look inside.

If anyone's still looking for a fantasy baseball league for this season, I have one going into its 10th year. A bunch of people have dropped out in the past few years, so I'm looking to fill it back up to 10-12 players. I currently have five people, so over half of it would be VCers.

The draft will be next Saturday, March 23 at 1:00pm Pacific time on Yahoo. You need to be able to attend the draft and stay active during the season.

The settings (Yahoo standard) are as follows:

-Scoring: Head-to-Head if 10 or 12 players / Rotisserie if fewer than 10 players
-Draft Type: Auction
-Redraft (Non-keeper) league
-Roster Changes: Daily
-Max Acquisitions: 6 per week (H2H) / Unlimited (Roto)
-Roster: 1B, 2B, 3B, SS, C, OF, OF, OF, UTIL, UTIL, SP, SP, RP, RP, P, P, P, P, BN, BN, BN, BN, BN, DL
-Categories: Home Runs, Runs Batted In, Batting Average, Stolen Bases, Runs Scored / Wins, Saves, Earned Run Average, WHIP, Strikeouts

Full settings can be found at http://help.yahoo.com/kb/index?page=content&id=SLN6785&actp=search&viewlocale=en_US&searchid=1363474325546&locale=en_US&y=PROD_SPORTS_FAN_BASE

PM me if you're interested. I'd like to keep the draft time where it is, but if there is enough demand, I may be able to move it a week later to Saturday, March 30 at 1:00pm Pacific.
