Pre-Order Thread

For all you Grime fans Skepta's new album 'Ignorance is Bliss' is available for pre-order.
2 tracks have been released already, 'Bullet From A Gun' and 'Greaze Mode' (Not a fan of the feature personally).
Whats mental is the price, £35 plus postage for a 13 song album. The money has clearly gone into the packaging which is why they are having to charge so much, its a 'Double vinyl Gatefold LP package printed with touch sensitive, heat signature liquid crystal applied. Revealing a spectrum of colours when touched.'

Im going to wait on this and pick it up when the price drops, it isnt limited. Anyway, heres the link:

Newbury Comics is releasing 3 "limited" editions of Doolittle:
- Pinwheel
- Swirl
- Splatter

I've messaged them, they'll be out on the 12th of July. US-only shipping though (that's where reshipping services can be useful!)
What's a good reshipping service? I looked briefly into it with the White Album but missed my chance but would be keen to find something in case it pops up again.

I've used http://myus.com a few times (I've done online comparison re. costs / services, but haven't tried other ones). Even for a single item, it's been cheaper than the original retailer fees. E.g. musicdirect charged me $45 for some LPs, while it cost me 23$ there.

I've just upgraded to get their consolidation service: they hold items for up to 30 days, and combine them in a single shipment.

Only "issue" is that they use FedEx / UPS, so you can't be lucky and randomly escape import / customs. On the other hand, w/ the consolidation, you pay the courrier administrative fees only one if you combine multiple shipments at once.
 
Debut album from Dublin post punk band The Murder Capital is up for pre-order on standard black or limited indie exclusive "marbled rust" vinyl.

Album drops August 16th - first two singles below...

Of Monsters and Men 2nd of 5 alternate covers/colors is out.

Not sure if I should go with this one or roll the dice again. If they're sticking with single colors then I'd imagine the last ones are Blue, White, Green maybe?
 
This isn't a pre-order, but I thought it would be good to put it in here.

If anyone like the Soft Kill they recently reissued their first two albums and they are very limited.


Your buying directly from the band as well, so go support them!

RIYL: Joy Division, Blesser Grave, Drab Majesty, Slowdive and the Cure.
