turbobrando Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 Popped up in my Twitter feed that they will be releasing their new album on white vinyl (limited to 200) at participating stores, along with silk screened posters. Check to see if a record store near you will be participating. http://www.subpop.com/channel/blog/fleet_foxes_release_events Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jemsklile Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 Nice! Thanks for the heads up. I will be trying to get one of those. They are doing a raffle at the store by me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deafmx Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 yeah, someone invited me to that crap on facebook. haha. i have never gotten into Fleet Foxes, but i read the event said limited to /100 on white vinyl. now i'm curious if it's actually /100 or /200.

icecream Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 would be awesome but don't think i'll even bother trying. also that artwork rules. and if the full list says 50 stores are participating I wander if this means they will spread out all copies throughout stores evenly ? or put the remaining 150 online Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icecream Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 edit : there is hope "Each of these stores has a single copy of Helplessness Blues on white vinyl" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spoonbill Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 this is going to be such a clusterfuck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retrospectacle Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 According to Subpop, it's a run of 200 and each store gets one (1) white vinyl. Doesn't look like 200 stores are participating, though so I'm not sure what happens to the rest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catalinacaper Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 this is going to be such a clusterfuck. I think most stores are being instructed to hold some sort of listening event/raffle to give away the 1 copy, so I doubt it. As to the rest of the 150, well, we shall see.

mdb Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 my store has no idea of an event, they already put the one aside for me Luuuuuuuucky. My local store isn't getting a white copy but I'm hoping they get some screen prints. I really want one of those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zick Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 Not sure how everyone else's store is doing this, but you have to buy the album to be entered in the raffle at my store. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerseydave77 Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 I got one of these today - I will admit I am having a pretty damn good day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itmustbereal Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 I was able to pick up a regular LP over the weekend and its pretty darn good. Nice packaging and the sound quality seems to be great too. Also, there is a pretty interesting article on them in last week's Rolling Stone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 My local store is doing a raffle for the white version, but they had 20 or so autographed versions that that they went through during a midnight sale last night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zick Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 I picked this up today. Hopefully I will get lucky and win the white vinyl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apirk Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 I got the white copy they had at my local store. They did a raffle and since they moved the original time back an hour to fit in a in store there were like 20 people there. Actually, my girlfriend won it and I think I am taking her to anything involving rare vinyl since last time she came with me she got a thirdman tri color 7'.

Riddle me this; what has one eye, loves a firm overhand grip, and wants to cough up something white? Uh huh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
