Pre-Order Thread

Foxing made an official announcement now and the Tri Color is back in stock. Also apparently Rough Trade and Newbury Exclusives coming .


Does anyone know if Newbury ships pre orders all at once or separately?

That orange one is probably my favorite one so far.
 
A few weeks ago, I saw that RecordStore.co.uk had some signed copies of the new Squid album, with the following disclaimer:

"Please note, every copy is different. The Band has had some fun with these ones. This isn't your average album, and this isn't your average signed record. It's thank you notes and drawings, love letters and things to put on your fridge."

This sounded super fun, plus I’m a geek for signed variants. I paid my $40 and waited until it arrived on my doorstep today. This is what I received:

In case you can’t read it, it says the following:
“Thanks xx, Squid”.

They must have run out of creative ideas and stopped having fun with signing.

I've already cancelled and ordered 3 times on different versions. I'll probably just stick with the orange. Plus it helped me get free shipping in Albatross and Carnavas that I had been eyeing
 
Mogwai - Happy Songs For Happy People
I really want a record store in US to have a big anniversary and start lining up a series of releases like this. I wanted the last Hval release Norman did, and this Mogwai album, but I still can't bite at that shipping charge. There have been some stellar records released in this series!
 
Foxing is trying to give Black Pumas a run for their money on release day.



I actually found this chart very helpful. Not even being sarcastic.

This is part of the reason I keep moving further and further away from colored vinyl. It’s tempting when the colored wax is limited in some way (even if it’s still artificially created scarcity) but when there are 13 colored variants, what’s the point? Might as well save some coin and just grab a copy on black wax.

Unless the black wax is the most limited 😉.

I got the Newbury orange because I think if looks the best and needed something to get to the free shipping threshold.

I hear you...but if I make the decision to go black vinyl only, then my OCD kicks in and I need to get everything I already have on black and I just cant bring myself to take on that project. My wallet also has an strong objection to that plan.

I just try and grab a colorway I like when the release goes full-Black Pumas at the pre-order stage.
