streetwaves Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 My local shop is reserving one for me! She said she ordered two so I'll let you guys know if the other is available. It's one per store---if they get any at all---so I don't know why they told you they were able to order two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeardedSteven Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Yeah...if I'm being real, I only tried to buy one to flip if for like $500 the minute it came into my possession... Mine will be played and loved! But I'm sure (too) many will only be played and loved after such a flip... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also pretty shady for stores to already be putting them on hold? Yes I got one so I have no right to complain, but that makes it about a zero chance of other people just finding one if stores are already doing that.

streetwaves Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Definitely being released individually. Total of 1500 box sets. One set per store. Lots of people calling in sick on the 21st. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeardedSteven Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Wait... Did you get one? I got a confirmation email from 4ad. That's as much as I can say! I pre-ordered immediately when I saw their tweet about it, which was when they tweeted it. I did not hesitate for one second. They sent out a teaser tweet a little before that of just a box with RHP logo so I was looking for something and was ready... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeardedSteven Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 I was being facetious. We get it. Sorry. Really wasn't trying to brag. I'm very much on the side of they need to press MORE of these. I will go back and hide under a rock again. Carry on... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Don Volante Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Just a few days ago, someone in the thread for the new MK album asked if we'd ever see a reissue of these records, and the consensus was basically "fat chance." Glad everyone was wrong! That was me. And i managed to get a box set earlier while i was at work. Literally screamed in excitement.

spectrum Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 With demand so high I would think they'd press a black set too like the SK box set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captainaldous Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Called my local store about this. They took my name down and asked me how many I wanted because they were sure they could get a few. I said only one, but I'll see what I can possibly do for you guys if I end up being able to grab more than one when the time comes. Until then, I'm just as pissed as everyone else.

Derek™ Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 I'll see what I can possibly do for you guys if I end up being able to grab more than one when the time comes.

Derek™ Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Don't bank on it, obviously but you're first on the list! Thank you, that's all I could ask for. I'm going to try calling up my local record shop and seeing if I can't nab one over here, too. If I can secure one here, I'll gladly give up my slot to someone else in this thread.

xxmartinxx Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 I don't get these cunts at 4AD. Do they hate money? Why not make it limited to 5,000 mail-order only and it would still have sold out in one day. thesewoodenideas and themightychew 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

downisthenewup87 Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Was at my local record shop today. I had called in the morning to inquire about the box set and had been told they would be getting a couple. Anyways, while at the shop I told her about seeing that they were going to be released individually on the thread. She smiled, confirmed and said "their (presumeabley she meant 4AD's) reps had said not to say anything about it. We then laughed about the lable's paranoia that a limited run box set's sales would be effected by such news. The hobby... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eliminator Jr. Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 I don't get it. Is this thing RSD-related? Sold out? US only? What. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itsgoodtobefree Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 I don't get it. Is this thing RSD-related? Sold out? US only? What.The 4AD preorder sold out (100 copies). Around 400 will be available in the US on April 21st at local indie shops... The rest is allocated to non-US RSD. Individual releases coming in summer allegedly.

mesi Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 I don't get it. Is this thing RSD-related? Sold out? US only? What. 4AD webstore does not ship to Europe, so in theory everyone except Europeans could have ordered this. Supposed to be an RSD item over here in Europe.

With my store owner saying exactly the same thing, I think it's a sure bet these will be available individually down the line. So I wouldn't kill myself for the box unless you dig the "bronze" color. Honestly I'm not crazy about the pizza box packaging myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
