Pre-Order Thread

Someone on the reddit figured out the number left meant the % of stuff left
So there should be like 230 left.

Also, if any of you assholes ordered more than 2 copies in hopes of scalping, they'll just cancel your order. 2 per cart max.
They were laying that message on thick today. I got like 4 emails stating that. Ha
 
Well, thank you. I always assume sarcasm when it comes to people. :D

Not this time.

The way that these forums and threads move... It's definitely possible that something could have been misread, or a post was missed. I mean, I got up yesterday and tried to buy this shit thinking it was Friday. After a while, I was like, "Hold up.... " This morning when they delayed posting it, I almost had to wonder.

These are about to be gone and, I don't know if it's funny or sad that this seems like a long time for something to be up. I'm used to bandcamp sales like this being gone in minutes for certain titles I've tried to grab. 1,000 is proving a decent number to give people enough of a window to grab it.

a2946400838_16.jpg


Music collective Africa Express announce the release of a brand new
studio album titled EGOLI, coming 12th July 2019 on the newly created Africa Express Records imprint.
Hailed as the most revolutionary force in popular music for two
decades, Africa Express was founded in 2006 and brings together
musicians from different cultures, genres and generations to break
boundaries and offer a new perspective on Africa and its music.
Each record and event is unique, based upon on-the-spot collaboration and filled with unique moments of magic; the collective have hosted trips and concerts in Nigeria, Democratic Republic of Congo, Ethiopia, Mali and UK to date.
Africa Express travelled to South Africa in January of last year to
complete an electronic album in just 7 days, a week of discovery,
collaboration and music-making. The result is EGOLI – 18 tracks
capturing the fresh, joyous sounds of Afro Futurism, straight out of
Johannesburg.
Featured artists include Damon Albarn, Blue May, Gruff Rhys, Georgia,
Ghetts, Mr Jukes, Nick Zinner, Remi Kabaka, Otim Alpha and Poté as
well as emerging and established stars of the buzzing South African
music scene including BCUC, Blk Jks, Dominowe, Faka, Infamous Boiz, DJ Spoko, Mahotella Queens, Moonchild Sanelly, Muzi, Morena Leraba, Nonku Phiri, Radio 123, Sibot, Sho Madjozi, Zola 7, Zolani Mahola
(Freshly Ground) and Maskandi guitar legend Phuzekhemisi.

I appreciate the thought nonetheless. Like I said, I always assume the worst. You’re right, It’s hard to convey tone through messages and that’s why when the S/O tries to have a serious conversation through text, I just tell her to wait because something could be taken out of context. I apologize.

I think 1000 was a damn good number vs the scarcity of this album. Did you end up getting one?

Yeah. Like I said earlier, my dad had a job driving that Mac Tonight motherfucker in the moon head around in a big ass car, back in the day. It's mandatory that I pick this up.

I think there's a picture of him lounging on that promotional hooptie somewhere.

Also, to be fair, the odds of me being sarcastic on the internet are pretty good.
 
The Saint Pepsi side of the album is so gorgeous



vinyl is sold out btw.
if you missed it your only other opportunity will be tomorrow at 12:00 P.M EST on the r/vaporvinyl subreddit. Mod there secured 40 copies to do a group buy for reduced shipping to US buyers. Should be first come first serve. They have more info about it on the reddit.

Thanks for this heads up today. I know there was mention of it on Wednesday and if you had not posted it, I would have remembered it at 6pm and, of course, would all be sold out. 🤘
 

It's officially up. Whoever called $32 each...you were right. $90 for the bundle.

Just a reminder of the black variant availability as a $75 bundle (including S&H):
Also, if you all are S&H phobic seller get_importcds is having a sale thru eBay where you save 20% if you spend over $75 (and free shipping) and the have The Incredible Bongo Band and the Skull Snaps (plus a wide variety of other releases). Instead of dropping $90 on the VMP bundle I am going to drop like $120 with importCD and get 8 LP’s instead of 3.

I know others have had issues with them in the past but I have always had good luck with them.
