piratesprayer Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 So did anyone get one of these from record store day or did flippers get them all? Post some pics you got one.what color is the vinyl? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
throwgncpr Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 what color is the vinyl? This is what I want to know. I wasn't able to snag one, but I'm hopeful that this will get a wider repress. If the RSD version isn't black, I'm sure this will get a larger press on standard weight black. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
circuit bored records Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 I've seen multiple pictures on Instagram and Facebook and its black vinyl.. The only thing I can see that's different is the RSD sticker on the front of the jacket Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moglog Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 Yea, it's just black. Nothing really special about the packaging at all, but it sounds great. Not sure why they would only press so few. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianmorgante Posted April 21, 2013 Author Share Posted April 21, 2013 The ( ) is just black, nothing special, but sounds awesome. I'm sure its the same for the other one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MD82 Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 Did anyone order these from Rough Trade? I ordered quite a while ago and haven't received an update. Reached out a few weeks back and was told they were getting them from the distributor soon. Emailed again yesterday. Haven't heard back yet.

davepriz Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 I ordered both from rough trade a while back and haven't heard anything. Let me know what you hear! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thefinalsound Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 This is becoming an absolute shit show. I sure hope my second order from the UK actually shows up. This is my third attempt now in the space of one year to buy these things. I don't understand what the problem is. How exactly do they benefit from keeping the pressings so limited? Can they not see that having the rights to press these is like being able to print money? "If you build it they will come." If you press them they will fly off the shelves in exchange for a lot of money. Please just make them available and everyone will happily part with $35-45. bigbruise 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MD82 Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 I ordered both from rough trade a while back and haven't heard anything. Let me know what you hear! Well here's the official word: Hi Michael "Agaetis Byrjun" was shipped on the 8th of April. We only received 5 copies of "( )" and they went to the first 5 people that ordered it. We're waiting got hear back from the distro, but to be honest I think they have over sold it. If you want to try and get a copy elsewhere, then let me know and I'll cancel this order. ThanksJohn Webb Mail Order Rough Trade Dray Walk 91, Brick Lane London E1 6QL Crazy. You'd think, given the demand, they'd press the shit outta this one.

tonyfranciosa Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 that's ridic. I literally ordered a copy of AB from Amazon UK the day before it was released and still got a copy. I don't understand what this band is thinking when it comes to vinyl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajismetal Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 Has anyone received their order from Rough Trade (that lives in the US)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blugel Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 has anyone tried ordering these from banquet records? i just did so, even though AB is listed as arriving soon... cheapest price i've found for both, too (14.99 pounds)... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toxicity Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 Has anyone received their order from Rough Trade (that lives in the US)? I got mine on Saturday - ( ) only, my AB was canceled. It's a god damn miracle I got it. The address label was tiny and barely legible. And there was no shipping/postage/customs markings whatsoever. How this made it across the pond and all the way to my mailbox is a mystery. I will try to remember to take a picture when I get home if I still have the box. Didn't get a chance to spin it yet, but it looks pretty sleek. It's a single sleeve with both LPs inside, and the cover has the ( ) cut out. One of my most satisfying purchases, if only because I finally own it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the response, it looks like only AB is available now on Rough Trade. Both are available on Banquet Records, but I don't know anything about them. http://www.banquetrecords.com/search.jsp?query=Sigur+Ros Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
batman Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 i just ordered AB from here: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00004Y390/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 hoping this works out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 I ordered a copy of AB from RAREWAVES on amazon.co.uk on the 20th and just got a shipping confirmation (edit: fixed typo). Pretty excited, considering it was around the same price as the RSD press. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paintedinexile Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 Looks like I wouldn't have recieved this if I had kept my order with Rough Trade anyways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abrownb1 Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 i just ordered AB from here: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00004Y390/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 hoping this works out Thanks, I just ordered, too! I was bummed about missing this on RSD but since there was nothing special about that pressing and this is cheaper, I'm a happy camper.

nelso330 Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 I'm 99% positive the USA RSD pressing is literally the same, in that all they did was send 500 over to the USA! Give they were an import price $35 on RSD and to order one from Amazon it's about $34! I ordered one from amazon before RSD, and ended up scoring 1 on RSD so I wi compare and verify IF I even get it!

ChardeeMacDennis Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 I ordered ( ) and AB from rough trade...( ) came in a month after i ordered...emailed rough trade, dude said they over sold AB and had to cancel it on some and i was one of the unlucky. He told me to order from someone in the US because he was sure there were going to be a good amount of copies over here. Ordered from rarewaves, now its on the way...people paying any bit over 35 or 40 for this are goons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChardeeMacDennis Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 AND all these represses came from the exact same plant..why would they use two different plants to have a more exclusive rsd release. They are smart at marketing and thats it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MD82 Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 Finally got AB in the mail from Rough Trade yesterday. I like the minimalist packaging a lot. So glad to have it in the collection. Now I must find ( ). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markwatson23 Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 Just for anyone in the UK. Banquet records has these for £14.99 each. AB is a pre order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
