It feels like VMP went to them for a Sleep Well Beast exclusive and the band went "Nah but be dont have any plans for Boxer  so you can reissue it if you like. Oh and here's a 7" of songs from the new album  to sweeten the pot"

I FUCKING HATE UNBOXING VIDEOS

I haven't even gotten a shipping confirmation yet. I didn't order it, but still wtf.

He is busy at a meet & greet with all his fans right now...

Yeah but it shouldn't take my record three or four days to get an hour down the road

While I generally tend to agree with this, VMP chose the method of shipment.  However, there will probably be these types of issues with any method of shipment.

Wait, you're telling me that a boxset set you back more than a double LP?

It's going to be really weird when these are in my local bargain bin for $2k. 

I thought we couldnt post codes anymore

Andrew: This is the first black vinyl Record of the Month we’ve done since, what, Big Bill Broonzy 15 months ago. Why did we end up doing black on this release?
Cam: Fiona’s camp decided that since this is Tidal’s first release, they wanted to try to keep it as much as possible like it would have been if the vinyl came out in 1996. If they were doing the vinyl package in 1996, they would not have put it on color vinyl. They would have included a lyric book identical to what came with the cd. They wouldn’t have added bonus tracks or an additional disc or done alternate art work. It would have just been the album, on high quality black vinyl, and that’s it. So that’s what we went with. And I actually love the simplicity of it.
Andrew: We also ended up choosing 45RPM, right?
Cam: Yeah, on the first version of test pressing at 33RPM, the songs just didn’t pop like we or her team wanted them to. We agreed that we should go to 45RPM to get more musical info on the disc—which is what happens with a 45RPM master—and Tidal sounded a lot more dynamic at 45RPM.
Andrew: And before we go, since people will ask and insinuate, there are no current plans to do this reissue on the label’s side, right?
Cam: Correct. This reissue is coming out exclusively through Vinyl Me, Please.

I think one of their mods hinted at people who wanted Fiona being "very happy" with the June store. Hopefully  they're repressing her discography

Tidal is up

It's fine that it's on 180g black vinyl....but honestly, always pictured this release being on some sort of clear or icy translucent blue or even a lighter coke bottle green.
 

Jesus Christ it's 2017 and people still use "rape" like this... wtf is wrong with you. 

I think I'm most excited to hear what Theodore does on the record. 

Tidal confirmed

"I'm strong like music" is a lyric from Slow Like Honey
