If what ive read is true about how limited this run is, then fuck the people behind that decision. I understand completely every issue regarding why they would want to do this, on both sides of the argument. But in this instance, if it really is a run of 1000, thats just stupid. Full stop.

Bleep sold out of its pre-orders in 3 minutes. If this isn't made a bigger run, then they havent released the tunes at all, it is simply putting money into the pockets of dickheads who will try and capitalise.

For shame.

[the wiggle baron]

Yep, doesnt look like theres any chance of getting this.

Why bother releasing it on vinyl at all? Im all for the magic and ideals of vinyl, but in this instance I think someone needs their head caved in.

[weston]

Any clue on audio yet???

@Wiggle, dont worry, If your right about the 1000 copies i'm sure you will get one! You have been in this game for long, i'm sure you have a broad enough knowledge of were to look on release day.
Trust your Secret Ninja skills mate.

quit your whining.. i got a copy from red eye records about 4 hours after the announcement, after phonica and bleep sold out...

do your homework.

[abstractsound]

and weston.. your signature is so true.

But in this instance, if it really is a run of 300, thats just stupid. Full stop.

[butt jolokia]

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[singlepoint]

mirror is the one

[the wiggle baron]

nice one simon, i took my shot at catapult!
And yeah i knew it was selling elsewhere, but when the first distribution source sells out in 3 minutes, you know you need to print more than...well, suuuuurely not 300?!

Anyway, at least the music is amazing. Just heard ego and its stunning. Lets just hope everyone who wants a copy gets one, and everyone who is buying copies to sell later gets Casey Haynes'd.

edit: both sides are amazing...

What's the tune coming in at the end of Mirror? Sounds like El-B.
Both tunes are amazing of course. Is there gonna be a podcast of the show?

[scattybeanhead]

300? seriously?
dude at my local shop said he's getting a couple in so gonna be there at opening to make sure!

[Etches828]

Gonna have to do the local record shop hunt. Both these tunes have lived up to expectation, fucking unbelievable!

[the wiggle baron]

Dammit, cant find it again now...ill keep looking and whack it up if i do

But was reading something on the Fact website about this release I believe. It listed the release as being limited to (I think) 3000 in North America, 4000 in Europe (dunno how that works out country to country) and just 300 for canada (I guess where that figure of 300 came from!)

Still not exactly swimming in them, but at least that looks like the kind of press that will allow anyone who's interested now to pick up a copy. I still imagine this is going to fly off the shelves/be worth £60+ like moth/wolf club within a few months!

[the wiggle baron]

I think redeye just sold out as I was filling in the fucking delivery information

This is getting so upsetting...ive spent a good 3/4 hours trawling the internet now, and this can't be gotten anywhere. Only place ive found that doesn't say out of stock is catapult, and apparently the guy who runs it said that he doesn't know how many copies he is going to get and i imagine will have to cancel alot of orders.

@ whoever it was who said something about not whining, go fuck yourself
