Pre-Order Thread

R.E.M. webstore exclusive color of Around the Sun is back in stock. It had said limited to 500 yesterday and about ~60 show in stock, so, could still be 500 but they just released a small batch today?

I'm not on that makes a big deal bout pressing numbers. But I'm sure there cause some to freak out a bit.

As I recall, there was some similar nonsense with the Hi-Fi reissue
 
Update from Matt Talbot on HUM reissues just went out to his mailing list.

HUM RE-ISSUES: YES, IT’S STILL, STILL HAPPENING…
The day is here (almost). We’ve entered the actual manufacturing stage with RTI. We’ll likely be taking pre-orders mid-summer, with records shipping before the end of the year. Copies of Inlet, Downward is Heavenward, You’d Prefer and Astronaut, and Electra2000 will be available in both black and a color variant. (So, please, no major appliance purchases or new lawn mowers or anything before that so you can collect ‘em all.) Once the exact pre-order date is set, we’ll shout it from the rooftops. You won’t miss it, promise!

As someone who got shafted a limited New Adventures album I can speak on this - they didn't add the album the next day, they just oversold it on the initial drop. Since they added this the next day I think you should be ok?

Matt Talbott was supposed to play a house show here a few months ago but it was canceled due looooooow sales.

Looking forward to Astronaut!
House show as in actual home? Or is he a deep house musician now? Surprised he couldn’t sell out a house. But also, if it’s just him, what’s he playing?

An actual home. Actually, about 10ish minutes from my house. I believe the limit was 40 or 50 people and a friend of mine who was supposed to go told me less than 15 tickets had been sold.
A few years back I was very close to having Lou Barlow play our house but I couldn’t accommodate 50 people. Ultimately he played in the recording studio at 11th Street Records and it was much more comfortable there. 😊

Why am I seriously considering this? Why isn't anyone stopping me?
