Ordered from Cold Cuts so I could bundle the Cold Climb It EP with it. 

Ordered. I have an autographed OG double LP pressing but it's annoying AF having to flip the record after four (short) songs. Having the main album on one LP will be really convenient. And all those b-sides on the second LP (especially the Area EP and Boring The Children) will be great. 

1999 Super Deluxe (10xLP + DVD) is at the cheapest price I've seen so far on Amazon UK

https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07XPRD4S4/ref=sr_1_2?crid=2PQP4693BFLR5&keywords=prince+1999&qid=1568186148&s=music&sprefix=PRINCE+1999%2Caps%2C217&sr=1-2&tag=v06a8-20

Comes out to $173ppd to the US.

All three colors are up at Bull Moose. Although, they don't indicate what color is what. $29.97 each with free shipping.

They mentioned on their merch IG that it’s 6K for each color worldwide.

Not that they're obligated to explain any line-up changes, but I kind of find it funny that they get new members without any explanation at all.

Do you know how the sound/quality is? It seems like a standard pressing but I can't find any info for it on Discogs.

It comes out in the UK on Friday (10/18)

There’s a press on amazon uk

nice find!

This particular live show is interesting because Charlie Simpson (from Fightstar and Busted) does guest vocals on All The Rage.

The band just confirmed on their Facebook that their Atlantic Records backcatalog (Casually Dressed, Hours, and Tales...) will be (re)pressed on vinyl soon. That just made my day.

The band posted that it will be available from indie shops as well. Hopefully, one of those shops puts it up online soon. I would much rather order from a shop than get it directly from Rhino.

Got a little excited when I stumbled upon this because I thought it was a repress of Hours on blue vinyl. But it's the first vinyl pressing of the CD only live album of the last show of the Hours tour back in 2006. Hopefully this leads to a vinyl pressing of Tales Don't Tell Themselves on vinyl, which is the last FFAF album I need on vinyl.

I'd like to think this isn't Warners/Rhino trying to capitalize on the FFAF reunion shows at the end of this month but...

Got the clears for these two. I don't anticipate these selling out as quickly as the first five. But who knows?

Will be grabbing that new single when it's out. I'm glad I got that colored Killed My Parents when it first went up. That Joy Division cover is straight up Joy Division and My Bloody Valentine in a car crash.

It might be time for them to do another singles/b-sides compilation. They've racked up enough non-album tracks for a double LP.

There's an indie exclusive version of love and Evol that's a clear with orange a/b clear with blue c/d. You have to buy it from thirdman though.

That’s the regular  indie store variant as well.

1/5 here. None from this second batch but still have 1 from the first batch.

Well holy shit, my package got delivered as well. The box doesn’t look too beat up but we’ll see how the albums survived the journey when I crack it open tonight.

My package was turned over to FedEx yesterday.   Ochre customer service was not of any help, but at least there was a positive outcome.

Did that show as an update on your DPD tracking?

If anybody needs it, Mike from Iron Chic put up copies of the "Radio Recording" tour EP on Discogs for $20.

Much to my surprise, I’m getting a replacement sleeve sent. Didn’t have much hope of that happening.

So if they ask a customer based in the US to call DPD which is in the UK, wouldn't the call be expensive and should Ochre do that for the customer?

It's my understanding that the sender of the package (Ochre) would need to contact DPD, not the recipient of the package.

As previously mentioned, it sounds like there are several people whose orders are still being "Processed Through Customs" via DPD. Someone on a different forum mentioned that DPD said the sender would need to contact DPD to give "clearance" that the orders are okay to ship. Hopefully, Ochre are able to do that. Regardless, this is annoying AF. 

Got a response from Ochre customer support:

Hi xxxxx,

We're sorry you're having difficulty receiving this shipment.

We're looking into this with DPD now to find out some more information.

Have you received any contact from them? Please ensure you've checked emails and texts in case there's any information on how to resolve this.

Kind regards,

Ochre Support

Definitely in for this but I'll wait until it hits shops especially if the indie variant is the same as the KRM variant.
