Ah I see, yeah I know what you mean. I really dislike all these exclusive tour 7"s that he is releasing and the album bundles were actually reasonably priced, but shipping killed the deal. $70 for GA outdoors is not ideal either. It's one of the reasons I am not a big fan of festivals. I prefer reserved seating, does that show my age?

Do you have children? Bring them! Someone brought their child to the beer signing and Dallas didn't seem to mind.

Anyone here for the beer signing? EDIT: Hmm...kinda miffed that he was only signing 1 item per person. But I totally expected that.

wait, is the purple or the green one the US version?

I forgot to comment on the new album. I loved it on first listen, so I'm surprised that the reviews are so mixed here. I think it's a lot better than "Little Hell". Worst song: "Two Coins". I wonder if "Commentators" is directed at anyone specifically?

I have to agree that the shipping fees are outrageous for the pre-order bundles. I passed on the pre-orders because of that. I am positive that it doesn't cost $25 to ship a vinyl record from Montreal to Toronto.

Wow, Ken Reaume. I saw him open for Dallas at his Harbourfront Centre gig back in 2006...those were the days. Didn't know Ken was a visual artist too!

I don't think there is a C&C shop at MapleMusic anymore. At least I couldn't find it on the website anymore.

Yeah, I didn't want to say, but I agree.

lol, I was thinking the same thing.

Wow, I didn't realize that Dallas is playing BUSH HALL in London, UK. That venue has a capacity of 350! That's pretty insane given that he has previously sold out Royal Albert Hall, which is a 5000+ venue...and he doesn't even have any top 40 albums/singles in the UK (yet). People who have tickets to that Bush Hall show are in for a serious treat.

So.......who here will be getting that "Super Bundle"? Imagine if they had bundled an *exclusive* 7" or LP variant /10 with that bundle?

When was the last Toronto show? This is great news, I would love to hear it again.

I agree, I think that pressing "Live" on vinyl would seem like a cash grab and something that I'd personally not be interested in. Much rather see him live.

This. Exactly. I give up. It's not worth collecting anymore. There seem to be variants for everything -- it's become the norm and not the exception. I just can't afford it anymore so I will just have to be happy with my "Missing" and "The Death Of Me" EPs. But I am still waiting for the Covers 7"! Tour variants and festive colour variants though? Meh.

Any updates on the covers vinyl?

I'm still looking for the teal...T_T Would have been cheaper to just prebook a ticket for the show to get the 7", rather than trying to buy one now on sleaze-bay.

Any updates on when the Dine Alone edition of the covers 7" is being released?...if at all?

Thank you both. So the orange/pink is the rarest? Maybe I should have picked one up and then sold my black one. :| I hope the Dine Alone repress of the covers 7" is also in the teal...it's a beautiful colour. In other news, why is the "Sometimes" RSD LP selling for peanuts on eBay?...I paid a lot for mine.

Jesus, how many more colour variants will there be for "Little Hell"?! Which one is rarest/most valuable? I want to cry. Which colour was the VIP version of the covers 7"? Black or teal? Does anyone know how many of each? I knew I should have gone to that show, but I dislike the venue so I didn't attend...

How much are you charging?

Ta!

What about Europe? He's playing a gig at the Royal Albert Hall in London at the end of April...with a capacity of 5000. It's sold out. Doesn't that kind of mean he has fans there that would want this release?

Which thread is this?
