daysaves Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 I went with SRC too. The bundle option is wack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas_Nassiff Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 I ordered the bundle option before I read that bullshit cannot guarantee vinyl color disclaimer. Then I emailed them asking for more info, so if I get anything back, I'll post it here. It's $50, so I just want some sort of color. If this is the official preorder from the band, then I'm fine with it. I really wish the label would just be straightforward with the pressing information, it's so annoying.

Thomas_Nassiff Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 If the band puts up a preorder for that blue vinyl (it looks amazing) then I'll buy that and cancel this bundle one. It can't hurt putting an order in, I guess. They should have no problem canceling your order over a month away from the street date, and if they do, I'll yell at someone till their ear falls off.

jordan999 Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 Ordered the album through src. They better be on top of their game (which by reading their fb and post here doesn't seem like is the case) because I'm moving out of my current place July 31st. You should be alright, they'll ship it a month after it comes out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The infinite merch bundle is the band's official pre-order. By the way it looks like there's only about 15 of these left. jerseypride 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmoney Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 The way the site reads, it sounds like the first pressing is on blue vinyl. Meaning blue vinyl might be all that any store will get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well then I'm stoked I got one in early, hopefully I end up with blue! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerseypride Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 The way the site reads, it sounds like the first pressing is on blue vinyl. Meaning blue vinyl might be all that any store will get. Yeah it's all very cryptic. Another way to read the statement about this being /200 is it refers to the bundle and that more blue copies will be available for purchase separately. It's frustrating that the label hasn't made pressing information available before people have to choose whether or not to spend $50 on a t-shirt and poster they might not even want.

evilgerald Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 I couldn't see the infinite merch bundle being the band's official pre-order, just due to the fact that they give the whole ****WE ARE NOT GUARANTEEING A COLOR; HOWEVER WE ARE INFORMED THAT THE FIRST PRESSING WILL BE BLUE**** message. That doesn't sound like something the official pre-order would have, you think they'd know for sure. I also wonder whether the whole pressing would be blue, or whether this is a variant and whether there'll be more variants. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dusted_By_Space Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 In holding out for just the lp, this bundle stuff is getting crazy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xadamhudsonx Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 Took a chance and ordered the bundle on this as well. I'll just give the t-shirt to my wife and sell the poster if it comes down to it. I figured if I'm gonna end up buying the record either way, I'll take the chance and see what the bundle gets me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nivek87 Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 All I want is to hear the music. Why is the street date still so far away? It's too nice outside today to not be enjoying this album on the back porch. nivek87 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scruffy...the janitor Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 I'm hoping for something special for the tour. I have tickets to the first night(after the release shows) in SF, so hopefully something will still be available. If so, I will try to grab at least one more copy for someone on here.

Thomas_Nassiff Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 Update from Infinite Merch. That's the official preorder from the band. The blue was put up because we were informed that the first pressing will be blue. That doesn't mean that our allotment in the second pressing won't be a color. This is an official pre-order. We are representing The Gaslight Anthem as their official store. The click through from the band's webpage and Facebook page hasn't changed yet, but Infinite Merch is absolutely official. nivek87 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GradedOnACurve Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 This is annoying already. Could they actually put up legit pressing info, or just press 5,000 of one color? Would make life so much easier. None of this guessing game bullshit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thomasj182 Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 They're playing by me the night before the album comes out, I just grabbed tickets. I'm really hoping for a cool tour press Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spoonbill Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 have they ever had a tour press? don't think so, why would they have one now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomasj182 Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 Exactly, why wouldn't they now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmoney Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 I hope they have a different tour press every night of the tour for the next two years. Giving tickets out to every fifth person in line, you then pay $5 at the merch booth to put your ticket into the lottery. Three hours after the end of the show, they will draw out thirty names. Those thirty people must name as many Gaslight Anthem songs they can in 30 seconds. Top 15 people get to purchase the record. scooterist136 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spoonbill Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 Exactly, why wouldn't they now? given that they've never had a tour press before, it seems ridiculous to assume that they will have one this time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scruffy...the janitor Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 I doubt they will have a tour press, but maybe they will have some blue copies with them. Maybe that's why IM can't guarantee a blue because they are splitting the records between the store and the band??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
