Yeah, I've had this one for a year, and it's the only disappointing thing about the new reissue of Body Talk. They rearranged the tracklist from the original pressing and now 7 of the 8 songs from Body Talk Pt. 1 are duplicated on the full-length reissue. 
For those of us who already bought BT Pt. 1 on vinyl, it would've been nice to have Time Machine, We Dance To The Beat, Get Myself Together, and In My Eyes from the original vinyl. And the single mix of Dancing On My Own, which I prefer actually. (The EP mix was duplicated on the new reissue.)
Still not gonna complain too much.... For $30 vs. $300 I'm immensely happy! But yeah, Robyn needs to come out with the S/T on vinyl already. (And maybe the other two BT EPs just for completion's sake.) 
 

Warner "lost" an entire shipment of RSD stock when they decided to move warehouses 2 weeks before Record Store Day. This according to my friend who runs the local store. "You think they would've just shipped our orders out BEFORE they moved, but no...." His words. 
 
ANYWAY. The Crow was definitely one of the items affected. I wouldn't be surprised if a couple thousand don't arrive in stores until this week, so I'd be patient.

My local store still has 4 copies for $22.99, and if you email them, they'll ship it for flat $5 rate. 
 
Also some other good things.... Weren't people searching for Green River? ($20.99) Or Idles? ($18.99) Or Julien Baker? ($7.99)

Just tell 'em Rich sent ya! I've known the owner for a couple decades now....
 

Two Amazon sellers have it for semi-reasonable prices. Under $50 anyway.

Really glad none of you are posting about Robyn - Body Talk because that's the one release I absolutely NEED. Time to remove it (and all those $300+ copies) from the ol' Discogs wantlist!!

Yup. I must've hit 20 different sites around 2012 looking for ANY retail-priced copies of this. No luck. Even emailed Robyn's label begging for a repress. 

Hopefully this means she'll do the self-titled album next, which for my money is THE greatest pop album of the 2000s. (No offense to CRJ of course.)

LMAO at all the folks on this thread shitting on Semisonic..... But then happily listening to songs from Adele, MMJ, Weezer, Panic At The Disco, Phantogram, Halsey, Vance Joy, and Leon Bridges. All of which were written by.... the guy from Semisonic. 

I mean, they didn't ask for my opinion, but....
Alice In Chains - Dirt or Tripod
The Cure - Wish
David Gray - White Ladder
Fiona Apple - any after Tidal
Toad The Wet Sprocket - any
Mars Volta - any (good ones plz)
Robyn - Robyn or Body Talk (I can't be alone in wanting copies for less than $300 each)
Frank Ocean - any (official presses plz)
 
But yeah, they should probably keep trying for SFTD too.
 
 

Wish is my preference, but yes.... Odd that the Cure can't be bothered to reissue anything post-Disintegration. (Besides Greatest Hits and remix albums??)

Agreed that this VMP Doggystyle is probably a step up over the current press, but 45 RPM alone doesn't matter as much as the mastering itself... and I'm assuming this was cut from digital, so there's a limitation right there.
The 2LP Rumours was mastered all-analog, by two of the best guys in the biz (Steve Hoffman and Kevin Gray), and pressed at 45 RPM, so that's basically a high-water mark for audiophile quality. Unknown engineer cutting Doggystyle from hi-rez digital.... might fall short.
