natenomm Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 (edited) https://avalanchesshop.com/products/wildflower-vinyl Welp, here we go. And there's this: Whatever that means. Vinyl Me, Please will have an exclusive version in their store as well. Those go on sale on the 16th, and the Vinyl Me Please thread should be more helpful than this one in regards to that variant.

Youinreverse Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 Yes! I wonder what the "exclusive merch upgrades" are? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess would be either an exclusive vinyl color, autograph, or a deluxe artbook/packaging. I'ma probably order directly from 'em though and find out for certain down the line.

mellowtooth Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 Newbury Comics variant with alternate cover / 1000. twice as limited as the red VMP, but no color is listed. presumably black wax.

Alt cover could have been at least perhaps the golden butterfly by itself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

natenomm Posted June 2, 2016 Author Share Posted June 2, 2016 An alternate cover that's just a black box around the regular artwork isn't enough to entice me, honestly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mellowtooth Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 It's not the most exciting variant, surely. But the price is fair and for some reason the artwork does look slightly better to me with the black contrast. I agree that it'll sell out very, very quickly, so if you're interested I'd grab it now. Tough decision for me, since I'm a VMP member but also have a Newbury Comics minutes away from where I work. Even when the stuff sells out on the website I've never had issues walking in on the release day and saving myself the shipping. The "merch update" thing on the official page, I think, is definitely a shirt, pins, stickers, posters - that sort of thing. There's no way it's a different vinyl color or edition. The item you order is literally called "standard edition" and includes an image of black wax. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andynz Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 Even still, it is USD$20 more expensive. It's cheaper for me to buy it from the US and ship it to New Zealand than buy it from Australia :/ joshman150 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

natenomm Posted June 2, 2016 Author Share Posted June 2, 2016 True. My guess is that it may be the "deluxe" edition. Wildflower 2LP- Deluxe 8 panel gatefold- 2LP x 180 gram heavyweight black vinyl- 4 panel poster (60cm x 60cm)- Download card included- Printed inner sleeves Wouldn't surprise me if that was the "Merch Upgrade" too. It's all pure speculation on my part right now though. joshman150 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This 7” will come in a white sleeve and will feature two tracks, 1st single “Frankie Sinatra” and an extended version of the same track which is exclusive to this 7” record and unavailable in any other physical format!

Aych Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 Ordered the Newbury alt cover variant. I like the standard artwork, but I've always been really into rad 1970's album covers and the like, so it was a no-brainer for me. joshman150 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
