Pre-Order Thread

Ulrich Schnauss represses by Rough Trade are now available through their US store. I think these were listed here when Rough Trade UK posted them, but I was happy to hold out for US prices and no shipping for an order over $50. They are expensive, but Far Away Trains Passing By and a Strangely Isolated Place are just immaculate albums imo. They have represses of other albums of his as well, but those two are my personal favorites.
 
Wow, glad I snagged one. When I checked the bandcamp page this morning, it wasn't even listed yet, so I ordered straight from their website.
Bounced between Loma Vista, Bandcamp and their store this morning. Ended up snagging one of the ~75 or so copies they listed on Bandcamp a little bit after all the other links went live.
 
so limited to 3000 in his web shop (i'm not finding anything concrete on what was actually listed initially)? i really don't understand why artists do this. i would have much rather supported my local if that's the case. (It also "sold out" on his site but you can still purchase bundles with it)
I think it was limited to 3000 total including shops like RT and the bundles. Most artists save a number of pressings for the bundles too, it's not in addition to it...so that when the small batch of exclusive vinyl-only sells, the only way to get it is to buy the bundle. This is pretty common practice...RT is also more expensive than from Earl's site surprisingly.

On his site it said:
The tan version of the FEET OF CLAY LP is limited to 3000 copies available worldwide.

It says nothing about it being just his web shop exclusive. It's also not sold out on his site anymore it seems although it is saying preorders only available in increments of 3 which is REAL weird hah.

He's never had an exclusive outside of the VMP IDLSIDGO so I made an assumption unfortunatley (that's on me). Every other artist I pre-order through lists an Indie Exclusive as such. I just would have rather supported a shop in these times instead of a label. Happy to have one at all, just wish labels/artists were more transparent on details up front so I can make informed purchasing decisions.

The wording is definitely sketchy, but it doesn't say anywhere that it's an Earl website exclusive. I agree with you though--would have rather ordered from a local but sadly all my locals are not accepting preorders or buying new stock it seems right now...and I have albums for order through Rough Trade that are not being shipped for the foreseeable future. I ordered Thundercat through them and cannot receive it until further notice, which is understandable but also a bit frustrating.

Up at Bullmoose too.

I'm content to sit tight with my order from Fiona's store. I was happy enough to be able to grab it within minutes of it showing up there, no point regretting that now. Also, I paid about $28. Bull Moose is more than that (about $32) and Plaid Room is only $1 less. Different shipping costs might add to or subtract from those differences, but overall the original deal is looking pretty solid.

Plus, I have zero problem with giving her money directly
 
More Floating Action -- kind of -- from PIAPTK:




It's also on Bandcamp, and it's pretty great.


I love how you're all about the PIAPTK these days. Right before the stay home order, my friend who introduced me to Mike and PIAPTK invited me to a Floating Action show and I didn't make it. Now there are no shows, at all
 
Sylvan Esso just put up a new variant on their site - green & pink this time:
Made my eye twitch initially from seeing the UK link for £35 after ordering from the US for £55 but then they chuck on £7 of "taxes" after you hit checkout and then shipping second class untracked is £7.20 which takes it to £49.20 lol 🤷‍♀️ personally prefer the peach/blue too so worth the minor bump.
 
YOU DID THIS TO ME

Have to admit I caved to the pressure and ordered this album, even though I don't know this band and find the price hard to believe. But I've been watching this video of what I assume is the show where this was recorded and it's fantastic, with quite a few musicians I do know and enjoy. So, thanks? ;)
