Pre-Order Thread

Yeah, mine was blue. It was also creased because of those trash mailers they use. They offered a full refund to send it back or a ₤5 credit, since they are out of stock.

Rough Trade UK still had the blue
Doh...they are saying they will give me store credit for the amount of the record and return shipping if I send it back or I can keep it and get a $10 store credit...pretty bogus. The album is great though and I do want to keep it since I can’t find the blue version anywhere anymore...

This looks really cool. I have no idea who this is and am not buying it but it looks nice.

Well isn't that convenient. It even gave me the free member shipping.

These multi-color variant roll outs are such a crappy product release strategy from a consumer POV.

Ideally, the artist should announce all the available versions upfront and when they'll be released.

Instead we're left in the dark feeling like idiots for buying releases that came out a week prior and forced to haggle with customer service departments for refunds. And in this Fiona Apple case it (unfairly but still does) leave a bad taste in my mouth about both the artist and the album.

I also think that with the glut and ubiquity of variants, I'm inclined to think their future value will be moot and the only incentive is truly aesthetic taste, which today I've crossed the threshold of no longer giving a shit about.
