itsgoodtobefree Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 It seems strange. We announced it so early to make a better guess about how many to make. There will be more announcements this week with even longer lead times. All will be pretty limited pressings, but maybe we can make sure people don't have to fight over copies. I have a couple of questions. Is the orange vinyl only part of the "Department Of Record Stores" thing, or is the black one too? When you say "don't have to fight over copies" are you just referring to the limited one? Also, do you know by any chance who is doing the actual reissue? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bull Moose Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 All very laudable, but how about making it possible for non-US residents to get it too? We are taking a break from shipping outside the US. We found that there were just way too much fraud and lost packages. We probably will try again at some point. I have a couple of questions.

ORG is handling all the details for us. They do a nice job, if you're not familiar with them. Thanks for asking. itsgoodtobefree 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

distinctlydustin Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 $26 and a 3.5 month preorder. State of the hobby right now. Tommy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExtraFox Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 no shipping rate provided until AFTER you place the order?!?! can't pull the trigger here. I ordered from them once (got delayed and I cancelled in the end) and they said shipping to the UK for a single LP was between $18 and $22. I assume Canada would be cheaper but why not email them and get a quote. That said, I agree that it's not a good way to do your international business. niblips 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Desk Cop Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 I totally forgot I ordered this until I saw it on my Bull Moose order summary page on Cyber Monday. Has anyone heard if this is still on track for January? I probably could just email Bull Moose but that's too easy. booms528 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tape Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 I would assume that if it's no longer on track for that date, they'd change the date in the product listing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itsgoodtobefree Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Pushed back to late February and it looks like preorders have sold out for the time being. http://www.bullmoose.com/p/17046976/ben-folds-five-whatever-ever-amen-orange-limited-orange-vinyl Only 600 copies will be pressed (of the orange vinyl I assume) according to Bull Moose on the Steve Hoffman Forum.

coolio Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 delayed Hi there, I'm sorry to report this, especially because we started taking pre-orders so long ago. The orange vinyl version of Ben Folds Five "Whatever and Ever Amen" will not ship next week. Due to a production issue, it has been pushed back to 2/24. I remember being blown away by this album when it was released, so I understand that you're probably pretty disappointed by the delay. The only thing can say to maybe make it better is that it's probably better in the long run that ORG is taking their time to do the release right. In case you haven't heard, this color is being limited to only 600 copies. You'll be getting a pretty rare pressing of a great album. I wish we didn't have to make you wait another month. Thanks for your understanding and patience. Chris P.S. 195 people will get this email. I'll be the one angry dwarf and you can be the (almost) 200 solemn faces. (Because that's the first song on the album, but you know that.) pushbacktosquare 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
