The National - Cherry Tree Club

I had an email from them around 14:50 UK time (around 45 mins ago).

Looks like a 2lp set again but not clues as to what the tracklist is or the extras. To be honest I was not expecting the first package a few years back and im taking each one as a nice bonus, trying to avoid spoilers etc.
 
The only downside to the club is the timing with everything. The package itself is worth way more than $50 considering double LPs go for around that nowadays, plus all the extras are really nice. I've only bought one poster from the shop which was nice considering it was exclusive and took advantage of one show's tickets pre-sale.

I received this email too. It will be my fourth National record of 2021.

I had a weird sign up time--I signed up last March when Vol 1 went back in stock on the site and was able to grab a copy. So I managed to get Vol 1 + will get Vol 3 and also got copies of all of the EPs. Now I'm just missing Vol 2!

That and they don't limit store exclusives to one per person and people who wanted the colored represses of S/T, SSFDL, and Cherry Tree didn't get them. That was a crap move on their part.

I think they were limited to 2 per person right? Did they ever say how many copies of each were released? I thought the color versions weren't particularly hard to get through their site but I may be misremembering. I also saw they were available on here so grabbed a copy of each quickly.

Yes they were limited to two per person. They did not give pressing info at all, I figured they would hang around for a while like every other store exclusive but then they proceed to sell out in 4 hours. I got S/T and SSFDL by refreshing but Cherry Tree sold out. I mean if something is that limited they could at least limit to one per person and give people pressing info. Looks like tons of people missed it based on the instagram and facebook pages. And their response was that we don't plan to press anymore which I thought was garbage.

Yea...it's kinda bogus. I do wish they gave more pressing info too. But with these types of things, I have learned to buy now and ask questions later if I want a record that's a limited variant even if numbers aren't posted. Most of the National Cherry Tree variants sell out pretty quickly now so I grabbed some. Maybe they will add some more stock once the albums are released/shipped?

I am not sure why they do this on the Cherry Tree site, but anyone's guess if I have an "active" membership?

Weird! Mine doesn't have that. It just has the top half. Maybe that bottom half was for a different credit card? You should be a current member if you paid for a membership in the calendar year of 2020. It looks like you are since it says yours expires in May 2021.

I am always confused with it! Maybe it is an international membership thing? Who knows, I have to assume I have an active membership until May, so if (and that is a big if) they ship by May...then maybe I get an album?? :unsure: 🤞

You just have to be an active member as of Dec 31st, 2020 and you will get the album. It doesn't matter when it actually ships.
