I know...this just feels like they're lining me up to be let down. I don't know what the hell they were thinking. Is that normal process for a record store? Don't they normally put preorders up once they have an idea of the amount they'll receive from the distributor?

Oh geez.... "We're hoping we didn't oversell as well and will not be offering any more until we've secured these copies with our distros. The record was only solicited to us late this afternoon and we have already placed orders for more copies than have been offered on eBay or through our web store. I'll be calling our distributors first thing in the morning to secure as many as possible. If it is oversold, we will honor sales in the order they were received with the latest orders being refunded. Thanks!" -Gabriel Spectre Records

That's not the part I find strange. It's odd they are selling so many on eBay and they have them for sale in their webstore. This tiny shop seems to have hit the motherload. I might email them just to make sure they haven't oversold.

Even more strange, they also are selling them in their webstore....for $4 cheaper shipped. http://store.spectrerecords.com/

Spectre Records has over 10 copies available on Ebay again. How does such a small record store get such a big allocation? Seems kinda odd.

Only 6 left

Looks like there about 3 copies of The Sundays here. $35.99 shipped in the states. Not great but much better than other options... https://therecordexchange.tuneportals.com/UPC/851636005040/The-Sundays_Blind--25th-Anniversary-Edition

Yes! Thank you. Also, the VINYLROCKS code is still working....brought the total to $18.40 shipped.

Thanks! I went ahead and placed an order with Amazon. I can always go back and cancel the order if I need to plus I'm not being charged yet. I highly doubt this plays out in my favor but I can only hope.

I just came across this. Does anyone have any leads on where this is still available? I couldn't find anything.

Music On Vinyl is pressing Frengers. It's a single LP as opposed to the 2xLP SRC released. I'll probably just stick with the copy I have but I'm sure there are people on these boards that would be interested. http://www.musiconvinyl.com/catalog/mew/frengers#more 180 gram audiophile vinyl Includes 4 page booklet Printed Innersleeve Featuring the singles "156", "Am I Wry? No" & "Comforting Sounds" First pressing of 1.500 numbered copies on clear transparent vinyl

Yeah, CCMusic is showing a release date of the 24th for AAEA and the 17th for RTS. To my benefit though, they shipped both of them to me so some places have these in hand already.

I received shipping confirmation from CCMusic for both of these yesterday and they're in transit now. Excited to see how these turned out.

It's not me! I just pulled it from someone else's instagram account. There is also a nice image of the Florian Bertmer variant on instagram right now. Curious to see all of these in their entirety....such a cool project.

Man, Rise Records is so lame. Looks like they restocked the beer/white split variant after it sold out and removed the limited to 500 description that was there earlier. So glad I didn't bite on this. I'm just going to wait for this to release and see if it's even worth it.

The new single is great...as expected. Love this band.

Yeah, I wasn't able to afford this when the 1st run went up so I'm grateful this is happening. I just don't get Mae's logic when they launched the 1st preorder. How could they have not predicted a small allocation of 300 wouldn't be gone immediately. Have they not paid any attention to the quantity sold on their other releases. Seems they could have safely launched at least 1,000 from the start and been just fine (on multiple color ways). They took a weird approach with this release. Wonder how many requests they are getting for people to switch variants....

Out of curiosity, I messaged Mae last night asking for clarification on the variant. Here's what I got... It’s on a clear base. It’s hard to say how this “smoke” effect will translate with the colors chosen. We’re crossing our fingers and hoping for the best! -MAE

Release a more limited, more attractive variant after all the hardcore fans have already dumped a ton of money on that 1st press. Pretty lame if you ask me. I didn't buy this but that's just annoying for any big fan. The new description doesn't mention if it's on a white or clear base. If it's on a white, these will likely not come out great.

Overpriced, ugly McDonalds variant available from Newbury Comics.

Looks like the baby on the cover lost his diaper and the contents inside ended up all over these records.

Right.....I don't believe anyone had posted a link to Rough Trade's listing so I just wanted everyone to see what was available. No mention of a vinyl pressing on Rough Trade, Norman, Picadilly. Maybe something is still in the works. Seems so odd that a SKM wouldn't see any kind of vinyl treatment....but it's Koz.
