This is an incredible price, but does anyone have any experience with Amazon preorders? Would they be likely to term it as mispricing and hike it to ~£25 upon release?

I mean... the listing says:

Product Description

Deluxe CD with stickers

 

So its another misdone listing 100%

If that.

 

Got excited because this finally popped up on Bull Moose, but the listing is "in store only".  What the fuck is going on with this release? It's also up at Amoeba, but even with free shipping, after tax it's $35 and change – about $3 cheaper than the official site.  BM has it for $28 or so and I'd like to bundle that with something else for the best value.

Why not just go with Amazon UK? It's like $15 shipped.

I've ordered lots from Amazon UK, always great service like US.

How often are you going to listen to an instrumental album?

If the tracks were by Blue Sky Black Death or 88 Ultra, I would say all the time. It depends on the producer. I do enjoy some instrumental hip hop tracks. Badbadnotgood's Sour Soul instrumental album is also quite good.

Cause we aren't completely sure if it really is for the vinyl or the CD.

It's not like this is gonna sellout worldwide though, if Amazon falls through there will be more options. 

 

Edit:

I just contacted Amazon UK via the chat. They are looking into the listing, but she advised me that the price advertised is the price we will be paying for the vinyl. If they send the CD, she told me they would make it right by sending the vinyl. She sent me a personal email too, so I have it in writing haha.

I like this, but have a hard time believing it. I have heard looooooots of conflicting things from amazon reps over the years :) Fingers crossed.

It won't sell out instantly, worldwide, but this is the next release on my calendar that I'm hyped to hear and it feels felt very strange to not have a copy locked down at this point.  And there will definitely be other means of grabbing a copy, you're right, but outside of secondhand sales on Discogs I really don't foresee anyone selling this cheaper than Bull Moose is.  Plus I just love supporting the 'Moose in general, when I can.

 

To your second point... that would be amazing if true.  I don't doubt the validity of what you're saying, but like Rooks said, it wouldn't surprise me in the least if they changed their tune after realizing 100+ orders were botched.  You may have it in writing that they'll honor your order, but something tells me they wouldn't be bothered to ensure everyone else got the same bargain.  I'm keeping the Amazon order for the time being because it is a hell of a deal, but I'm curbing my optimism.

I have it preordered at BM and Amazon.co.uk.

 

If Amazon notifies me they're canceling, I'm set. If they don't, I'll cancel BM. Benefit of both not charging 'til shipment. And I know I have at least one option (BM) locked.
