dreamover Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 It looks like 1,500 copies will be on sale during the pre-order tomorrow. That makes 8,500 available through other means. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmoney Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 I'm guessing that he would have posted a link if he had one. But he's always right. I've talked to John about a few things recently. And apparently he's mentioned it on Reddit, also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itsgoodtobefree Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 Not making this a box set with The Avalanche is perplexing me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eshame Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 Not making this a box set with The Avalanche is perplexing me. they addressed that in the reddit thread: That said, it would been a 4xLP and we wanted this to be affordable for folks. Also though it's outtakes, the Avalanche is a separate piece than Illinois. We're working on a vinyl release of Avalanche but it's still in the works and may not happen. Who knows.

itsgoodtobefree Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 Eh. I still think releasing Illinois outtakes would be a better 10th anniversary than releasing the same album we've had for years with slightly different artwork and colored vinyl.

radiatorhums Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 Avalanche being a separate release interests me much more. I don't need another copy of this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itsgoodtobefree Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 I wonder what the special thing in the package will be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niblips Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 It looks like 1,500 copies will be on sale during the pre-order tomorrow. That makes 8,500 available through other means. This is good news for those in a small market with a good independent record store. Chances are I'll be able to get one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stillalivetui Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 I know it may be underwhelming for some, but I'm really digging this cover. Really hoping it's in the $20-25 range though. Edit: Whoops, didn't see the price on the item page. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuckle Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 Definitely in for this version after passing up different copies of the 2014 repress. Hope the shipping is reasonable to the north so I don't have to hold out for an in-store copy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aju2streets Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 I really wish the extra they're talking about was told in the announcement. Hopefully it's extended liner notes or something and not just an extra digital download of outtakes. I'm still debating if I need a second copy of this.

ejc625 Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 And I'm assuming it will have the same artwork/packaging as the most recent triple gatefold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MCDELTAT Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 10,000 copies... and if it's anything like C&L, it'll still be a scramble to secure one. Was it that bad? I know the clear went instantaneously but the black in stores all over the place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itsgoodtobefree Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 The difference is that C&L was a new album. I'm not sure how many people will want to replace the copies of Illinois they already have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek™ Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 Was it that bad? I know the clear went instantaneously but the black in stores all over the place. I was only referring to the initial burst of clear pre-orders, yeah. The difference is that C&L was a new album. I'm not sure how many people will want to replace the copies of Illinois they already have. But at the same time, one could argue that Illinoise has way more of a following and reputation in comparison to blindingly buying C&L in good faith, yeah?

Burkazoid Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 Torn over whether to get this. Already have a standard edition and the Newbury green and red variant. Stoked on the fact they're going to press Songs For Christmas and possibly The Avalanche though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yourhuddledmasses Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 So it's 1:01 Eastern Time, and it's still not orderable. Hmmm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
