PO/TP: 27 "Holding On For Brighter Days" LP

[jhulud]

Dude...I have been telling myself that I'm not going to buy any more vinyl but yet just last night I ordered the new Down record...it's an addiction...

[monk0nuggets]

I told myself the same thing, and have actually been sticking to it, but maybe that is just because my bank account says $7.86. lol

[markalark17]

Seriously. And I know that I'll buy a lot later this week when I go to Atomic, and I'll want to buy In Rainbows when it comes out.

Does anyone know if the green glitter is still available from the UK store? I tried ordering a copy, but it wouldn't let me pick a color.

I think you're referring to the band's online store.

Update #2...

I still have copies of the green vinyl version. Vinyl Collective has sold their allocation, and the band have sold their allocation too, so the only place to get the green one is direct from me.

(I don't have a store, but i take paypal & details are on the site. The shipping price is high but there is literally nothing I can do about that. Sorry!)

Also, despite not being hand-stamped & numbered, the amber vinyl is also nice. Here are a couple of pics so you can see the glitter:

Why don't more labels do presses like that? It seriously looks great!

[monk0nuggets]

Also, about how many green do you have left?

[marxcus]

There are somewhere in the region of 20 green ones left I think.

[markalark17]

I still can't decide between the green or amber. I'd like a chance at the test press though. Any advice?

[monk0nuggets]

Flip a coin.

Well, the green will undoubtedly sell out quicker than the amber... but given that you can only get the green direct from me it will cost you nearly twice as much as an amber from Virgil. So i guess it depends on your financial situation.

Also, I have a few test presses here, and they're not going anywhere but to people who will trade other test presses. So if you have a trade list send it over...

[markalark17]

Flip a coin.

Are you going for the green?

[monk0nuggets]

If it is still in stock when I get some cash. I've got bills to pay first.

[markalark17]

Are both test presses hand-numbered?

[marxcus]

Rejected Test is in a black "disco bag" sleeve, hand numbered of 25.

Accepted Test is in a proper, plain white LP sleeve with a colour pic glued on the front, and has stamped and hand numbered labels out of 27 (geddit?).

The winner of the contest gets the same number of both versions... number 19. And number 19.

[monk0nuggets]

That sounds pretty nice. How many copies did you send Virgil? I'm just wondering how good our chances of winning if we buy from him are.

[markalark17]

Oh, haha that's cool that the good one was out of 27. Good choice. I think I might have to go for the amber from Virgil. It's been growing on me, haha.

[markalark17]

Dynamite question. I hadn't even thought of that.

I haven't sent any yet. How many he takes in total depends on the demand for the pre-order... although I would hope it's not less than 40 else I'm going to lose money on the shipping :-[

[monk0nuggets]

I thought you were shipping some green ones to Virgil as well, or were they a set amount and they are sold already?

[marxcus]

were they a set amount and they are sold already?

Yep.

[monk0nuggets]

Alrighty then.

[markalark17]

I'm really excited to hear who won the test press.

[ronniethebear]

I preordered the green, but when are we getting these?

[jhulud]

We will have these towards the end of January and will announce the test pressing contest winner then, too.
