dreamover Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Anyone know of anywhere to pick this up in the US? The Darkness's site had a colored version that didn't ship outside Europe. Only other place I've found is amazon.co.uk. their US label (wind-up) doesn't ever press vinyl, so that sucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dreamover Posted August 16, 2012 Author Share Posted August 16, 2012 just in case anyone was interested, if you're in the US, amazon seems like the way to go... http://www.amazon.co.uk/Hot-Cakes-VINYL-The-Darkness/dp/B008CG1HSI/ref=sr_1_8?ie=UTF8&qid=1345151625&sr=8-8 It's definitely not being released in the US on vinyl. If distros carry it, it'll be the import. The Darkness's website does not ship the preorders outside of Europe because there's an american label (wind-up) that is dealing with the US release. (CD only) Juno.co.uk has the "colored lp version" but it is not available for purchase. (sold out?) the Amazon version doesn't specify color, i think it's likely they're all color, but don't quote me on that. although the site says it's £16.00, when i went to check out, it came to £13.33 + £3.08 shipping. my total, including shipping to the US was £16.41 or $26.70 USD. Definitely the best price you'll find. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glass realms Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 i'm interested to see if Amazon UK ships their vinyl in the same packaging as their US counterpart now. the last time i ordered from them, the cover had a top and side seam splits and was shipped in a regular oversized non-record mailer box.

dreamover Posted August 16, 2012 Author Share Posted August 16, 2012 i ordered batman begins from them and the corners were all dinged up (large box). i processed a return and got an email right away offering me a partial discount or a new copy. i went with the new copy. they sent it out for free and i will get refunded 9 GBP to ship back the old one. i love amazon if this one comes beat up, i'll just do the same thing, til they learn. always good to send packaging feedback too.

selfreliable Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 Thanks for the headsup on this. I was looking around trying to see if it was getting a US pressing and couldnt find anything. Luckily I got an Amazon giftcard I havent used to be able to cover this! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dreamover Posted August 31, 2012 Author Share Posted August 31, 2012 I just got my copy from amazon. looks like they're all a beige marble. Amazon UK shipped it in a frustration free mailer inside a bigger box. Sounds great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jennifertindal Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 I got it at my local record store. It came with a free limited edition patch too! You can't beat that. If you're close to any of these places, then you can get it from there! http://www.theactualdarkness.com/indie-retail-markets/ Have you guys seen their Radiohead cover of "Street Spirit"? I love it!

throck Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 So what does everyone think of the album? It's super top heavy, as far as good songs go I think. I really love that string of: With a Women Keep Me Hanging On Living Each Day Blind Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmhmm Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 I tried listening and couldn't make it through. It sounds like a mess to my ears...and I liked their last two albums. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
