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.

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

That's a bit of an underwhelming variant if you ask me. Alt cover could have been at least perhaps the golden butterfly by itself.

This one is gonna sellout in no time I bet.

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.

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.

looks like there is a special 7" of the single available for pre-orders in indie stores

EXCLUSIVE FRANKIE SINATRA 7″

The Avalanches and Astralwerks are pressing up a limited edition 7” available to fans who preorder the new album on vinyl at their local participating independent record stores on June 14. 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!
