esbe Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 The National - High VioletCD orders come in a deluxe O-card pakaging with a folded poster and foil stamping LP copies will be on limited colored vinyl (colored vinyl is very limited and won't last long, actual order page will note if they are still available) Random copies of both formats will contain a VIOLET TICKET redeemable for $50 at the Beggars store. http://www.beggarsgroupusa.com/releases/high-violet/ Edit: I just got an email from Beggars, looks like there are around 2000 on violet.

lpzgangsta Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 2000 on violet and they are running low? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pianorocker Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 I've already got mine preordered. They'll also have the violet at various independent stores, and the physical locations are listed on a map. Also, some record stores are getting one copy with a "violet ticket" good for 50 dollar credit at the store. Also, I've heard the leak and this album is simply amazing.

cj Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 ^ the national are a pretty big band. they've got 5 full lengths going back to '01... thats an easy way to build a pretty huge following. that and they play all the major festivals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotterson Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 I really want to hear this before I order. I got into them late, but didn't really start to like them until I listened to Alligator. Still don't really care for a lot of Boxer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pianorocker Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 High Violet is a lot different than Boxer, however it's also a lot different than Alligator as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even people that aren't huge fans of The National based on past albums are pretty excited as far as I can tell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest weezytoaster Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 Kind of off topic but Brassland is repressing Sad Songs for Dirty Lovers limited to 500 for anyone who may be interested http://brassland.myshopify.com/products/hwy-003-sad-songs-for-dirty-lovers-by-the-national-lp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still don't really care for a lot of Boxer. I feel Alligator is leaps and bounds better than anything else in their catalogue...they're great live though, far more energy than you'd expect and sound fantastic to boot ...that said, I've already pre-ordered this...when the original thread for this popped up a few weeks back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still don't really care for a lot of Boxer. Boggles my mind. One of the great albums of the past 5 years. It bored me until I saw them and I realized how unbelievable it is. Give it another listen. I was at their show at The Bell House in Brooklyn after they finished the album. If you like The National, you won't be disappointed.

If you go to The National's website/High Violet page, there is a link to the map. http://www.highviolet.com/indieretail/ Also, I've ordered my copy of the repress of SSFDL. It comes in the original jackets (they found 500, hence the limited release for now) and with the poster. The difference is the record pressing (may be remastered) and label. PS: Here are pictures of the violet pressing of High Violet...wow. http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=167433&id=45121499774&ref=mf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotterson Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 The album is supposedly streaming here: http://www.nytimes.com/2010/04/25/magazine/25national-t.html?pagewanted=1 but I can't seem to find it. Anyone check that out? Edit: Nevermind... Editor's Note: Due to security issues, the full stream of the "High Violet" has been removed. A condensed version of the album will be posted shortly.

woolage Posted April 25, 2010 Share Posted April 25, 2010 Some stores will be getting coloured copies. I've just picked up one up from a UK indie. Result! Also purchased the Sad Songs LP. Props to ESBE for starting the thread as I would have probably missed out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
listentovinyl Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 aural exploits still has some colored pressings for pre order on a first come first serve basis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vedant Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 When does this album actually release? Gonna have to make a run to one of the stores on the map for a colored pressing. I need to get on the boards more so I don't miss out on stuff like this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vedant Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 Yeah I bit the bullet and ordered from Aural Exploits. This is one of my most anticipated! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotterson Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 Went ahead and ordered from AE as well. The songs I've heard so far have been fantastic. Hopefully they get as many purples as they are selling. Even more hopefully I get the golden ticket! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
listentovinyl Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 ^they only have a set amount of purples, then itll be black. your invoice should say if its colored or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
