Rough Trade USA now showing stock of the Blue Vinyl. I would expect to see a few more stores showing stock shortly as well. I was hoping the UK stores would show their hand today on what their offering would be, but nothing so far yet..... Maybe tomorrow.
Sorry to bum the collectors out - but the blue on Vinyltap says pressed in Europe. They are usually pretty good about getting that right as they know it's important to people wanting to be totally sure what they're buying.
With FNAC having orange now, it looks almost certain that those and the Blue in the UK will be EU (prob German) pressed. So the store Purple prob will be EU too.
Highly unlikely the US Blue or Purple will be EU pressed - so we are up to at least five versions already...
Do you think the FNAC orange pressing is the same as the one in AUS/NZ? I'd also assume that the Black variants are different in EU and in US. AUS Black pressing probably is an import from EU or US?
Yep, this is why I usually stick with EU releases if possible. In my opinion the best sounding new pressings often come from Germany (or Japan). I know it's not really an indication of anything and the prices can be all over the place but the US pressings are cheaper and there obviously are differences in jackets and all that. I'm not sure yet if I'll go for all the pressings or if I'll stick with what I've got so far
Yes for black too definitely - that's always the case.
I'm guessing the Orange in ANZ is EU pressed.
There could be more colours coming but if there aren't I think it may sort of been planned like this:
Run of US black in largish numbers
Run of US purple in moderate numbers - I see 9500 was apparently on the US store at first then removed. So they are probably keeping their options open - someone says 3770 left yest - how they'd know I don't know.

apart from amazon with the mp3 pre-order being up, no UK sites have it up yet (checked hmv and a lot of the bigger record stores).
hopefully that does change soon.

fingers crossed it comes to HMV here in the UK
If not it's cheap enough to ship from FNAC, they only charged 4.40 Euro for shipping this plus another record.

I take it this is an important thing for collectors ๐
Do you think the FNAC orange pressing is the same as the one in AUS/NZ? I'd also assume that the Black variants are different in EU and in US. AUS Black pressing probably is an import from EU or US?
So the variant list would like this:
Europe:
Purple, Blue, Black
US:
Purple, Blue, Black
Europe/AUS:
Orange
