Mattallurgist Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 I didn't get a shipping email from Norman Records but if you go check your order out, it looks like they're starting to change to 'Despatched' now. Hoping it arrives tomorrow so I'm not waiting until I'm back in the office! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ejc625 Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 I actually cancelled my order for the blue 3xLP. Realized I can't afford the box set + standard release. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eliminator Jr. Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 So who else is ready to talk about how great this set is sounding? I'm floored. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Saint Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 Yup, just got official word from my store that the date was pushed back to 7/7 (for anybody that was still unsure like I was). So I'll keep the digital version on repeat for the next few weeks until I can pick it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rooks Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 My local shop sends out a weekly email and they also mentioned the date was pushed back - but added that it was pushed back "due to overwhelming demand so more copies could be pressed" take that for what you will... more blue copies?

That's what I've expected to happen all along, and my assumption is that the sticker confirms it. If it truly was limited to... 3000? 6000? Sorry, I can't remember... the sticker would probably be more specific rather than just stating "Limited Edition." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mert100 Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 I think there will be an abundance of these as some people were saying. There are so many on discogs and every record store in Toronto has a bunch of blue copies. Too bad for the flippers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope you're right and that we can dismiss the fact 43 of this thread's 45 pages are people scrambling to order copies when they sprout up.

I strongly suspect if they aren't all gone already, they will be in 24 hours time. I was in the big city buying a bed (and no, I did not say mattress to Mr. Lambert) and I dropped into two of the three stores in the city. At midday, they had zero (and never got any) and one (having sold the handful they received). The third store tweeted a picture of a copy and I suspect that means they now have zero. The store in the town I live in also got zero. The cheapest UK copy on Discogs is a 40% markup on the price I paid. Halo 2 is selling two at a much larger markup.

Derek™ Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 Halo is probably still frequenting this thread, and thus should be reminded that literally no one in his life will ever respect him as a human being. For being abundant / limited / however you'd like to treat that "7,000" figure, it sure seems like more people would like to have access to copies. There definitely is a demand at the moment – anytime a distro posts that they have more copies available, they make it a point to urge potential buyers to act quickly. I'm not doubting that more can be pressed down the road, but even at 7,000 (allegedly), they seem to be sought after enough to warrant that "Limited Edition" tag on the hype sticker. Who else is still (or more) hyped on that deluxe box set? On the subject of it, do you think that they'll have one uniform press, like the AMSP deluxe edition? Or do you foresee separate plant pressings for UK vs. US? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timsimmons Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 I'm guessing there's a EU pressing and a US pressing.

timsimmons Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 Agreed. I hope they go back to do a Bends deluxe, and that they keep something like this going for the rest of their albums on their respective anniversaries. I hunk they have such an interesting approach to writing tunes and working through shit. I love getting a look at the process. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
