Yes, it's one of the craziest variant collection bands out there. Fat Mike is a huge collector and as the owner of Fat Wreck, they do tons of exclusive pressings.

He wasn't on the last one either. Seems like it's an open invitation to rejoin if/when he wants. But it's for sure a different direction

I think the main problem is Media Mail is, like, last on the priority list. I think they sort Media Mail right after they sort the lint that falls out of the mail carrier's pockets.
I had a Kota the Friend record that sat un-scanned in Los Angeles for 2 months. Fatbeats sent Tracking on December 15th and the record said "Package Pending Acceptance" until last week. It was delivered 3 days after the Acceptance Scan. I opened 3 tickets with USPS because I thought the record was lost in the system, since I'd never had one that said it was at the post office, but wasn't "accepted". They closed all 3 immediately, so they must have seen that it's Media Mail and went, "yeah whatever we'll get to it".
I mean, I understand that my records are not important in the grand scheme of things. I want people's medicine and things delivered first. But, sitting for 2 months with no update, and then closing my tickets immediately without response. Horsefeathers!
But, the record got here and sounds great and now I have my Top Ten of 2020 all on vinyl.

My MoFi copy had a label shipped and tracking sent about a day after I ordered and my MD isn't listed as in stock yet. You may end up with 2...or you may be able to cancel MD as soon as the MoFi copy tracking is sent your way.

You and @Crabbers are probably right. But I'm going to roll the dice a few more days. I get $30 of paypal credit a month for my credit card so if the MD doesn't ship by March 1st and the MoFi site is still in stock I'll do it. Who knows may end up getting it from neither site

I'd be pretty surprised if MD doesn't get any copies in. They did take it off their website so...I'd guess that all their backordered copies are already sold/being held.
sold out on MoFi now anyway!

Yep! I actually got it in my cart, went through PayPal (new layout ssuuuuuccckkkkssss), and then hit order and was sent back to the webstore and then the page went black and now its shutdown...@eatdogs have you tried to order the Zombie vinyl??? The website pretty much crashed at release time, so there is no way of knowing how many are left up. ughhhhh, should have known this was going to happen
But yeah whatever happened to PayPal sucks. You gotta swipe through to whatever card or bank account you want to use and it slows everything down. Last time it was a simple pick the dot on the payment method of your choice and hit submit. Ugh...

Been a dog eat dog day of vinyl buying. Glad I wasn’t looking for this one. Getting Bowie was stressful enough.

Not familiar with this band but just pulled up their self-titled and am digging what I'm hearing so far!
I like Numero a lot. They used to do a pop up shop right down the street from me every year or two and had crazy deals on most of their records.

That's awesome. Aren't they in Chicago? Is that where you saw it?

Not sure where they are located actually but they did a pop up in Greenpoint, Brooklyn for many years once a year or so. I think every CD was $5 and albums were pretty cheap too (cheaper than their website even). They would also have harder to find things.

I called MD and for what it's worth they said they'll be fulfilling back orders over the next week or so. They said it's a matter of when not if it will be fulfilled at this point. So hopefully that's right
