Ah I dont think that's the problem here - I can easily get a US item sent to NZ by reship - but last time I tried Best Buy and Target won't accept either reshippers addresses or a foreign credit card...
The last and only time I caved in to this type of gimmick was when I bought both OBO's.
Then I almost went in for Sonic Highways when I was trying to collect vinyl but I just went with the full city design. I think that was the last vinyl I bought. Too expensive, and i never listen to them.
Me too. Target better put its special edition on CD. A nice, fine cardboard, gatefoldy, smooth matte with embossed stuff digipack. With an extra song on it perhaps.
Target doesn't ship to international freight forwarders or addresses outside the United States.
As another option, we recommend shipping to a parcel pickup location within the United States where available.
-------------------------------------------------
Ah yes I remember now...
"If I could get to a pickup location I wouldn't be bloody well here reading this friggin nonsense would I - I'd be going the literal extra mile into the sodding store... "
Me - the first time I read that, eagerly reading the "As another option..." starter, assured there must be something useful to be suggested by the end of the line... how foolish 🤣
just a thought... hmv in the uk haven't put up anything on their website yet for the new album... could they possibly have both the indies version and the alternative cover version? 🤔
yeah that's what Banquet Records mentioned on their website... but you'd have thought it would be up for pre-order by now... either that or they're very slow due to furloughing staff.
At least here in Finland only 1 store is selling the black vinyl now and one store is still waiting some info from a record company etc so it might take a couple days before they pop up 🤔
Blue is on the Record Store Day site - not for sale but just announcing it and linking to several indy's.
That means it's fully endorsed as an indy release - so id expect pretty much all US and Euro stores affiliated to RSD to be at least eligible to request copies.
Did you get a solution? I'm in too if if it was possible -
One parcel to the each country would be the way to go - then someone split it up from inside and divide any vat & duty etc - save the mystery shopper lots of extra hassle sending ind parcels
I'm worried about those snippet videos on FM and Insta - they are all eyes starting from each band member - so that target release is a close up of one of those surely.
Now a Finnish "Recordshop X" has listed both Blue and Orange variants for sale. It begs a question that what if the orange version is just "regular color option" of the album, since they don't mention anything about it being limited etc. So it may be that JB HIFI is just the exclusive seller of it in AUS/NZ, FNAC in France and maybe Recordshop X in Finland. Regarding the Blue vinyl they mention the indie version.

Put me on the list too
Just do what I do and send shit to @Tai and tell her after the fact.

I'll message you!
I'd prefer cd over vinyl.
the owl doing business.
$40 on eBay - please don't do it - this fool had it at $34 30 minutes or so ago and has seen all the views and jacked up the price.
There will be others for sure - and it's 3 months away

I just messaged you 🙂
Who knows. Thought they were getting the blue vinyl?
yeah that's what Banquet Records mentioned on their website... but you'd have thought it would be up for pre-order by now... either that or they're very slow due to furloughing staff.
At least here in Finland only 1 store is selling the black vinyl now and one store is still waiting some info from a record company etc so it might take a couple days before they pop up 🤔
So the current pressing status is:
EU: Black, Blue, Purple
US: Black, Blue, Purple, Target
AUS/EU: Orange (if we assume that the Aussie pressings are from EU)
So all in all 8 variants so far 🤯
Blue is on the Record Store Day site - not for sale but just announcing it and linking to several indy's.
That means it's fully endorsed as an indy release - so id expect pretty much all US and Euro stores affiliated to RSD to be at least eligible to request copies.
So this would mean that it is one and same pressing?

Yes, you're in! I'll PM you...
Me too 😂
Staff furloughed til 2070? 👾
I'm worried about those snippet videos on FM and Insta - they are all eyes starting from each band member - so that target release is a close up of one of those surely.
If so there could be 5 others...
