Guest Admin Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 Album leaks are a part of the music industry landscape in 2010 and so it came as little surprise that Look Mexico's new album, "To Bed To Battle" had leaked. We had sent out advance copies to music editors around the world and the band has been selling CD copies on the tour they are currently on. Since it only takes one person to leak an album, we knew that sooner or later it would happen. Since the album's release date isn't until March 23rd, 2010, it is a little disheartening to know that people will be getting copies of the record and we won't have any say at what bit rate the mp3s were encoded or whether the full album is being sent out in the order the band wanted it sequenced. After talking it over with Look Mexico and their management, we have decided to post our pre-order today, Tuesday, March 2nd, 2010 at 2pm MST. Every pre-order will receive an immediate email with a link and a download code to download "To Bed to Battle" as 328Kbps mp3s. We figured if the album has leaked, we would prefer making sure you get the album the way we want it heard. At pre-order, we will have the CD, the LP, the digital album, and deluxe sets which will contain CD, LP, Pint Glass, Coozie, Poster, Button, and T-shirt. Full disclosure: we have not yet received the test pressings but we do expect them very soon. We won't have vinyl til the end of March or the first week of April. Pressing info: the vinyl will be pressed in an edition of 1,000 copies over 2 colors of vinyl. 500 copies will be pressed on Salmon/Orange colored vinyl and 500 will be pressed on black vinyl. All future pressings will be pressed on black vinyl, but we will be changing the album artwork on the future pressings of the vinyl. We will soon be posting a pre-order of the Look Mexico/Suburban Home Records' mix tape which will be ready to ship before we start shipping the Look Mexico album. Bundle it or order it separately; it is a great listen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexH. Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 I can't lie, I downloaded the leak. And it convinced me to buy this album. That, and the sweet-ass album art. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Admin Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 I can't lie, I downloaded the leak. And it convinced me to buy this album. That, and the sweet-ass album art. I figured a number of people already downloaded the link and know that is how a lot of people discover music. I totally get that. But because it is leaking, we wanted people to get our leak as opposed to someone elses. Thanks for checking out the album and thanks for wanting to buy the album. The art is gonna look amazing.

patron Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 I wish you still put prints in with the deluxe sets, like the Lagrecia one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Admin Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 I wish you still put prints in with the deluxe sets, like the Lagrecia one. not sure we will ever put together a deluxe set that will top that one. The look mexico would have made for a nice print though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cj Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 Full disclosure: we have not yet received the test pressings but we do expect them very soon. We won't have vinyl til the end of March or the first week of April. i'm really hoping you have good luck with this and no issues with the tests. pre-orders are getting tough to handle, but i understand why you had to expedite this a little bit. another pre-order issue and this could get ugly.

cantdance81 Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 Will the shirt with the deluxe set be the same as the one you could get when the 7" came out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Admin Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 Will the shirt with the deluxe set be the same as the one you could get when the 7" came out? no, it will be a shirt with art from the album art. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
