Pre-Order Thread

Is it just me or do live albums seem to be making a comeback? War on Drugs, Belle & Sebastian and now Arctic Monkeys. I guess people are craving live music.

I’ve definitely been more into live albums over the past few months but I’m not sure I can attribute that to the lack of live music, since I usually only go to like 1-2 showper year (not counting small local acts). I have a relatively low fidelity set up, so I’m not offended by less-than-pristine recordings.

@debianlinux Pretty good stuff here. As your official arbiter of taste, I advise you check it out.

Also, @Twentytwo, you are the best. Thank you so much for that link to the signed Barbara Mandrell. That was such an insta buy.
 
Is the gold indie version of Castaways and Cutouts hard to pre-order at all? In true me fashion, I just realized I ordered both it and the variant that was on The Decemberists' webstore, and before I cancel the gold one I figured I'd check and make sure it's not something people are trying to get a hold of...I'm guessing not, but if you need it and want to buy the copy I have on order, lemme know.
 
I definitely want to preorder the Ghost Dog OST but can't decide which one:

1) Stranded Records has the Red or White vinyl for $26 and it's "limited" but doesn't say to how many.


2) The label, 36 Chambers, has a "deluxe" version that amount to an OBI strip and Red/White swirl for $40, limited to 2,000


3) But then Tower Records has its own variant (who knew Tower Records still exists?) has an "opaque red/yellow swirl" limited to 500 for $40:


Advice needed.

They are also doing a repress of Acceptance-Phantoms and Valencia-We all need a Reason to Believe and if you want all three, they'll knock off $5.

Crazy. I forgot it also and missed the original heads-up. Don’t know exactly how fast it went but it was gone 30 min ago already. Buying vinyl is a full time job but you need a 2nd income to pay for it.
Yeah I thought it was yesterday and was refreshing like mad. And then got busy at work today and it completely slipped my mind
 
Damnit I forget this was today. If anyone wants to sell their hmu

Sorry you guys missed out! Wish there was an "auto-remind" feature. There were still copies available about an hour ago, so it wasn't a super quick sellout — the one per person/household limit likely helped.

A few might pop back up in the coming days if Mondo does their due diligence on cancelling duped orders.
