Oh man, want those Wilco and National live albums. 

Same. Just when I think I'm out The National reel me back in.

Mine arrived Friday from Amazon UK at the cheap preorder price. Great packaging and sounds amazing. Great work all round.

FUCK YES!!!

I don't think Barnes and Noble are notorious for allowing orders they can't fulfil to be placed. You can probably relax those fingers. Unless you want to keep them crossed that the album makes it over to you without getting trashed by the journey.

I have never had B&N not sell what they have on their site. I think we're good

Seems to be some very divided opinions on this one. Particularly for those who loved TWFM. Whereas those who felt disappointed by TWFM seem to see it as a return to form. Opinions eh? I'm just happy to have another good album from these guys.

Excellent. Shipping to UK is very cheap from Barnes and noble.Fingers crossed.

Not sure if you guys saw, but Robin posted on Reddit that they'd be looking to see if they can sign some copies now that they're on tour together and get them to those who can prove they had canceled orders. Would be a happy ending to a pretty disappointing story thus far. 

Cool. Got a link? Thanks.

Don't count on it. My order shipped, was then delayed due to weather, cleared customs about 3 weeks ago and has since gone AWOL. 

 

 

Yikes.

Hope it shows up for you.

I can wait this out to see what happens. If I don't get a signed copy I'll pick the album up when it's on discount instead :-)

Expedited/kallax style with a back to them so records can't be pushed too far back. Also a sliding front panel when not in use would be good.

Happy to just get a reasonably priced new press of this. Hopefully there's a coloured version for Europe too though.

Get a cork mat. Pro-ject do one themselves. A lot less static and better sound are the benefits I noticed after making this change.

So there might still be hope. The band posted this on Instagram:

Yep amazon cancelled mine too. They didn't bother telling me of course, only realised when I logged in and checked after reading Plarocks' comment above. Classy amazon.

Looks like the RRP for this in the UK is about £70 (Norman Records have it at £67.99) so anyone interested I'd recommend pre-ordering from Amazon now as it's only £57.75 and they don't take payment until it's dispatched

Done :-) quite a saving

Same. Was gonna wait for Bull Moose to use some points, but I'll take a gamble on a signed copy. 

the white is £22 or so in uk. having a red shipped and hopefully signed costs £36 so I'm willing to pay it for sure. I bloody love Wolf Parade :-)

Went for the red as so far it's only available through their own store. Hopefully getting a signed copy. Excited for this.

So keen for this release, a DVD from the era would have made this perfect, but its pretty great regardless. Although I do hope that it comes with a book, some replica posters or something

 

"5LP Vinyl Boxset - Housed in lift off box with 2 double gatefolds and 1 single"

 

Glad that all the seperate 'albums' have their own proper sleeves too. 

 

Where'd you see the description?

Yeah hope the new 7" becomes more widely available so those who want it can get it for a reasonable price.

One guy on discogs trying to sell a copy for $100 with description "sleeve slightly bent from travel" - no thanks.

Worth a try anyway. Thanks for the heads up.

Went for the Monorail exclusive. Looking forward to hearing the album. September seems so far away now.

Happy to report that like last year I was able to get a good nights sleep and show up at my local store at around midday and still get the 3 records I was after. The only things that seemed to be sold out were the Bowie and Prince things so the folks queueing must be big into that here. Have a good day everyone :-) 

Picked my copy of the red LP today at my local. Sounds great. Excited for the tour.
