Shiny Beast are sending a whole replacement record - with the vinyl shipped outside of the sleeve!

 

If anyone wants my old copy with the tear, I'll send it out to anyone in the UK who covers postage.

If this is still available I'm interested. Messaged you.

My copy arrived today from amazon uk. Number 576. Nice :-)

Amazon uk dispatched mine today - they've also now jacked up the price by £20 to £73. Glad I got on this early.

For people in the UK: It's on amazon.co.uk now for £53.86 with free postage

Cancelled my amazon.com order as it would have been significantly more expensive after import tax.

Just ordered on Amazon.com - postage to uk is $7 there compared to $67 from musicdirect. If anyone sees this listed on a UK site though let me know!

Tell me about it. Pre order page didn't load for me until 9.20 and then placing the order took ages too.

The new Lp went up for pre order (for uk at least) after 9 here. It's 2 disc LP for £12.98 so I ordered a copy.

Ordered. Thanks for the heads up. Huge Scott Pilgrim fan, plus the soundtrack is great.

My Latest Novel - Deaths & Entrances. Bella Union released their first one (Wolves) on vinyl but neglected to put the amazing follow up on wax!! What were they thinking!!!

 

YES! Amazing band and album.

My copy arrived yesterday. Really quick for delivery to uk/eu. I like it, interesting to hear them incorporate acoustic guitar, woodwind and a bit of vocal effects along with a bit of synth.

I gotta pipe in here.

 

I highly doubt he was being smug and mocking. His question was legit. It also crossed my mind after seeing so may international VCers say they ordered and now expect their orders to be cancelled.

 

I do understand the rush and agitation of snagging these due to prior sales and all and therefore no reading all of the text and "fine print". At the same time, Mondo was clear up front on their terms of no purchases from outside U.S. and Canada. The bitching after the fact is unnecessary. Chalk it up to "Oh well, maybe next time."

Not bitching. If anything I was standing up for myself and the other international VCers. At the end of the day if mondo had mentioned this info from the start, and if they'd actually put measures in place to disable the international shipping option then there wouldn't have been much of an issue.

Now everyone take a deep breath and relax :-)

question: why would you order something if you knew that it would be cancelled eventually? it's not like they're going to be like "oh shit, i'm gonna make an exception for this guy here". it sucks that that's how it is, but why waste their time?

Well I for one didn't realize until after ordering and in all the press and run up to this they never once mentioned it. Also considering how fast these releases tend to sell out i'm guessing people were scrambling to complete the purchase rather than read a lot of text. I don't expect mondo to make an exception for me and I don't think I'm a special case but if they'd let everyone know this caveat from the start they wouldn't have wasted my time and theirs. Still, I guess it's easier to be smug and mocking when you know your copy is guaranteed.

I messaged mondo on the requests section of the site and they confirmed that international orders will be cancelled and refunded. So disappointed. Wanted one so bad.

Port Of Morrow is £10 on amazon.co.uk last i checked. Don't know their shipping costs though.

Piccadillyrecords.com (uk based) have the 12" for £6.49 and it comes with a 12" x 12" art print signed by the band.

Hope this helps.

Mary;s Voice is a brilliant album. The popup artwork they do is great.

Here is a picture of my three Music Tapes LP's together.

Check out A Hawk And A Hacksaw.

Can't go wrong with any of the E6 bands. Getting an E6 collection together myself on vinyl. The popup Lp and 7"s from The Music Tapes are cool. Also check out The Singing Saw at christmastime by julian koster - best weirdest christmas album ever!
