castaway Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 I think he means the "early bootleg" version. I am also curious about this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fozzyb Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 I e-mailed the folks at Criminal Records and was advised they were already sold out of this. Also, she says it was "no big deal" bootleg copy. Would love to know the legitimacy of this version floating around out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timsimmons Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 It's legit. They just do it to create a buzz or reward fans who collect and certainly to reward independent stores. They call it a bootleg version because the look of the packaging is supposed to be like a barebones bootleg. I got the Jason Isbell "bootleg edition" it's a brown sleeve with a spraypainted stencil of the album title and his name. It's nothing fancy just unique. E record is the exact same as the retail version. But these "bootleg" editions are legit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shamrocks Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 its a very bland early release bootleg thing similar to what okkervil, isbell, etc. have put out recently. i wish these had something about them that was a little different, outside of the plain white numbered jacket but its still fairly cool, i suppose.

dreamover Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 What color? sorry. this one is black vinyl. usually these "bootleg copies" come on a different color of vinyl with a generic-looking jacket. these are the same black vinyl with a REALLY generic-looking jacket.

Guest crazybeats Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 Juno is selling the real vinyl from today. http://www.juno.co.uk/artists/Chvrches/ I know when I order from Juno, usually before 5pm i get it next day delivery as its sent first class but I already got it on Amazon when it was priced £12.99. Just incase anyone was willing to pay the extra £3 and wanted it before Mondy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest crazybeats Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 This is what I don't like about these promos. There is no use saying, go to your local independant store because the reality is most independants wont even know those exist and it's a shame because there is plenty of people willing to pay money for it. The fact that it is numbered is just another case of people wanting it as a collectable and not actually listen to it. This is what vinyl is nowadays to consumers. Just something to hang on the wall or keep locked away. At least back in 2007 record labels would have churned 1000 copies of this out as a promo for DJS and you woulda got it dirt cheap. Now even the promos are unofficial and numbered and so it's no longer about music, it's about how collectable it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timsimmons Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 I see it more as a fun promotion of the album and a way to drive traffic to record stores. It's the people who flip their shit about it being rare that makes record collecting so unbearable. Sure the label feeds into it, but really it's the consumers who are to blame. I don't see how stores wouldn't know about this seeing a as it's coming from distributors. It was probably their choice to order it or not. At the end of the day, it's the same version that's coming out next week. I bet you can get this at slightly more than a retail version in a couple of months.

fozzyb Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 This is definitely a test pressing. Something cool for fans to collect if they choose to do so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Takes us to a link at United. I could be wrong, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timsimmons Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 United can host digital downloads of records they press, so it sounds like the mp3s are from a test press. At least that's what I take that pic to mean. The label of this "bootleg" version looks more like a legit label than a Test press label.

vanishinghouse Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 I'm a sucker for these bootleg editions lately. Unfortunately I live an hour and half away from any record stores. Does anybody have an extra at one of there local spots they'd be willing to pick up or if someone could point me in the right direction of an online distributor.

dasubman1138 Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 Went to see them last night @ Terminal 5, in hopes of picking up the vinyl at the merch table. All they had was the cd. Has anyone got confirmation that their preorder has shipped yet from Amazon? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
