If anyone ordered the "transparent orange" through online retailers, SP recently added an image of the mockup to their website. It also mentions it's the 3rd press, standard jacket and calls the image "forever". Sounds like it'll be an unlimited press and won't be the gatefold version. Also would assume no matches for this version.

Latest email from them this past weekend said there are still more LTJ freight shipments coming this week.

At this rate, I'll be very surprised if anything shows up at my door before Christmas (and Smartpunk is only an hour away from me).

I was talking to Jordan at the end of last week, and he mentioned the last variant they were waiting on was supposed to arrive today.  Anything that wasn't a bundle/that variant started shipping last week. But since the bundles have the variant, they're still held up.

I only ordered Anthem, I got the red/flame yellow. One thing I noticed is the smart punk record is a gatefold and the European version isn't. I didn't expect that. Opening the gatefold now (as I type this) and it has a pack of matches in it! Super cool. 

 

 

Very cool to see that the US ones were gatefold in the end. Roger teased an image from photoshop back March or April and it showed that Anthem was going to be gatefold. Was hoping at the time for a 2xLP haha. Nice touch with the matches.

Next stream was announced for sometime in January on socials yesterday. 

 

Also the Blueprints masters are probably coming any day now, and they're waiting on NTFP pressings to arrive, the Blueprints test pressings are in transit. 

Backwards  Blueprints was the first stream, that's the pressing that is on the way to them, NTFP are the test presses they're waiting on.

Are these 100 (and the other alternate cover) included in the original press numbers? Or are these an additional 100 of those particular variants?

New Noise is gonna have LTJ for the December issue.  The flexi includes the song "No One to Judge Me", a b-side from Silver Linings.

Most recent Smartpunk email (from yesterday) says they're getting the rest of the Anthem/B-Sides  sometime next week and will start shipping asap. So looks like everyone should start getting their bundles some time around Thanksgiving? Or any record that wasn't the UK versions, or yellow/black splatter B-Sides.

Barry from Mogwai did a reddit AMA earlier and fielded a couple questions about vinyl pressings for Zero Zero Zero/the 2018 live lp. A few other people asked him abt EP+6 or Rock Action/Happy Songs getting the boxset treatment. It's cool that I'm not the only one that wants to pester the band about stuff like that. I ordered the new boxset from TRL with the quickness.

I meant to ask him about this but didn't make the reddit chat... the bandcamp posting for the As the Love Continues is a little confusing, it says "you'll get the album the moment its released" on November 23 and then below it it seems to clarify that the album release date is Feb 19 2021. I guess I'm hopeful that they will let people listen to the new record via the Bandcamp app on 11/23 but I'm not super sure thats gonna happen. 

 

 

I wonder if the album was supposed to originally be released in November and it was postponed? Less Than Jake's new record changed release dates a few times before they finally announced the December date.

I missed the initial sale on TRL, so I ended up ordering from the Bullmoose link. Hoping it'll not get cancelled. Does that mean Bullmoose doesn't cap their orders anymore? Not sure how recent that fine print was added, but I feel like I've seen them stop taking preorders on other limited things before.

Smartpunk posted on twitter the other day. Would sure be nice if they sent an email update to those who pre-ordered rather than a "This record is delayed" a month after it was supposed to be released.

 

I wish they'd give us direct updates too. They've mentioned it a few times in their normal email subscriptions, but I think they've only mentioned it to people that ordered once via  direct email. There was an email yesterday or the day before and it basically said hey, the record plants are shipping one variant at a time, so we won't have everything for a bit still.

Mine arrived fine, but had the same exact thought when I saw the package. Quite possibly the thinnest cardboard I've ever seen used to ship a record.

I think the Kevin Devine and Manchester Orchestra Patreons were giving first dibs to Patrons, but I'm not certain (not a patron). 

Yea, the most recent Bad Books 1 Reissue had an exclusive Patreon version split between both pages, and then a broader press available to the public. In the past it was just first dibs on the Manchester/Andy Hull/RAGC releases.

And I think KD currently (or had) a Daytrotter vinyl, but not sure if it was limited to the Patreon, or first dibs.

Saturday night bump! Happy to take offers, hit me up. Will drop anything off on Monday.

I’m guessing it’s the UK variant (trans blue with black splatter)

Not sure about that. This is what the shop in St. Pete shows when you look up the upcoming releases. Same clear orange Anthem and clear blue B-Sides shows up for some other retailers including Popmarket. The UK B-Sides isn't clear blue, it's solid blue with some black swirl.

Updated the list with new stuff.

They put up a clear variant of the soundtrack, limited to 300 only. And have since released a second single, Weight of the Worry.

If you have instagram, @bsmrocks has a video of it in their story for the next 23 hours.

Really glad I picked up a copy of this. Haven't listened through the album on Spotify yet, but the couple snippets of songs I've heard I've really dug. The art looks awesome when you open up the gatefold.

Different color variant listed here - https://www.badbooksiii.com/products/680595-bad-books-anniversary-lp

Guessing that's the one that will be available to the public tomorrow, /1000.

Thought the bump was gonna be another MU bundle. When does the next one drop?

New song’s great, btw!

I've been enjoying the new songs as well. Wondering if since New Noise debuted the lyric video, if LTJ will be the next flexi for the magazine.

Pre-pandemic, the company I was working with was using FedEx anytime we didn't have people traveling for shows from the main office, and we would ship in hard shell suitcases and pelican cases. They would show up absolutely trashed when it got back to the office. IF it made it back to the office. They'd lost so many shipments of ours. One time, it was easier for us to have one of our people drive to a warehouse in New Hampshire from NYC to pick up the case after a show. 

Chris DeMakes (Less Than Jake) just put up preorders for a book along with a solo 7" to accompany it. Bundles and what not are available through Smartpunk, including a crazy calendar and ridiculous looking poster. If any one follows Chris on IG, the book is a printed form of the photo a day with corresponding story thing he did last year.

Most of Fat's records are pressed in Europe and because of the decrease in flights between Europe and the US they're being shipped from Europe to the US by boat and then on a truck to Fat from the port. The situation would potentially be different for every label though I think most go through Pirates Press/GZ.

My point exactly. Pretty sure most of Fat's stuff is through Pirate's Press, and almost everything LTJ have put out in recent years has been pressed by them as well.

Not too surprising those ended up being first to arrive. Most of FAT's euro variants have been showing up almost a month (or more)  before the US versions. I ended up ordering the UK versions too, so I'll get a chuckle if they arrive to me in the US before SP gets the US variants.

I got the shipping notification from Popmarket too. Ended up being the cheapest option too. $52 shipped was hard to beat for that set.

correct

will have a picture out on socials of how all the records turned out sometime soon.

Awesome, thanks. Can't wait to see them all.
