Pre-Order Thread

I’m really looking forward to this one based on the first single alone.
 
Normally, I am not one to be on the up and up when it comes to new music preorders. I wanted to share one with you I discovered and I hope that it hasn't been posted.

I recently preordered an album from a band called Beach Bunny. It's a lofi, indie girl rock kind of band but, kind of dreamy. I was listening to it and then a group called Lunar Vacation popped up. Really kind of dreamy but the lyrics are still really angsty. It's like Alvvays and think of a more poppy Soccer Mommy. Both their EPs are being pressed on vinyl for the first time.

Just got this email for the Daptone 100th 45

View attachment 2074

It is with great pride that we celebrate this milestone with you. This, Daptone’s 100th 45rpm release, features an unprecedented collaboration of talent from our legendary roster of artists.

What started as an ambitious thank you to you, our beloved fans, has now also become a loving tribute to the brothers and sister we've lost since its inception: Charles Bradley, Dan Klein, Cliff Driver, and our eternal Queen, Miss Sharon Jones. So, thank you, friends, for all the years you've helped us to "Keep Putting Soul Up." May this disc forever live as a token of our gratitude, and keepsake of the times when our departed loved ones shared the stage with us.

Available June 28th. Pre-order the DELUXE DAPTONE FAMILY EDITION of this momentus 45, only available from the Daptone shop. Be the only kid on the block to own Daptone's 100th on an EXCLUSIVE, LIMITED EDITION, DIE-CUT PICTURE DISC in the shape of the classic Daptone Records logo. Comes with extensive liner notes and includes a copy of the standard black 45 dressed in acustom Daptone 45 sleeve (one for the ball, one for the wall!) + a folded 24x36 movie-style poster featuring all 100 45s.


Pre-Order Now

Neat!

You guys might appreciate this. My copy of Daptone 45 #1 that I got signed by Sharon at a small show in Montreal in 2005. Decided to frame it when she passed. Only met her the once but she was extremely generous with all the fans that stayed after the show.

Oof, I can't explain why but that album art is tickling the "chill beats to relax and study to" bone in me. Those colors, mmmm.

Wow, thanks for this tip. I can’t believe I’ve never heard of these people, I preordered that super limited split version.
 
I haven't seen anything on the Music Direct or MoFi websites, but got this in an e-mail from vinylgourmet, announcing upcoming Ultradisc One-Step releases...

If anyone finds an option to still get the Mono UHQR pressing of Axis: Bold As Love, please please please let me know.
I didn't want to pre-order from Acoustic Sounds (because of shipping costs and customs fees) back then and went with North End Haarlem because they got their pre-orders up around the same time. Sadly they're still accepting orders for the long sold out on pre-order Mono edition and they don't seem to know how many copies they'll even get (or if they can get any copies at all, imho)...
Unfortunately, I haven't seen a single shop selling copies of the Mono edition.
 

It's officially up. Whoever called $32 each...you were right. $90 for the bundle.

Just a reminder of the black variant availability as a $75 bundle (including S&H):
But they are readily available here:

Both their EPS have been on repeat all last night. I got their “juice box” variant. Don’t know if they’ll rise to the Alvvays status but, it’s damn good. Glad y’all like it, too.

Thanks, EmeryRK, I listened and ordered this as well based on your recommendation :) Like the juice box variant as well. Looking forward to it!

Played Artificial Flavors and the first half of Swell on my way to work this morning! I dig it a lot, really brightened up my morning. They sound like what Paramore thinks their last album sounded like.

Did you see the Amazon link @TheMythOfSisyphus shared?

Any Hendrix fans:

AP sold out but they must’ve given some to Amazon cause they have a pre order for the UHQR of Axis Bold as Love. I’m assuming the stereo since that was being produced as 5k copies. Mono only 1K. $35 more than direct from AP but people are flipping for 3x right now. I have a copy. Don’t hesitate. Get it. If you’re a casual fan, only if you have cash to burn.
