The boxset from her AUS site is identical to all the other box sets with the 4 12x12 prints (I've got it and there's no difference). Shipping isn't that bad to the US - I just checked and its $30 to Cali, so the order would come to about $100 total which is still cheaper than her US/UK site. The postcard prints you mentioned come with the standard or deluxe cd when you buy it online at JBHiFi (an AUS Music store), and it's prints of the entire booklet, not just the 4 in the boxset.

I got my boxset yesterday and the vinyl is the deluxe 14-track edition.
-
-
No problems I would just pay the extra 20 or so to get the boxset, because its not far off (+ I've seen people on here getting the boxset for just over $60, so you may even not have to spend more)
-
From what I can tell, yeah - it says nothing about picture disc and has a black vinyl in the picture. it's 40 Australian dollars, so about 37 US dollars (+shipping, which I'm not sure of the price to South America)
-
I've only seen it (outside of the boxset) for preorder here (an Australian store) : http://www.jbhifionline.com.au/music/pop-rock/ultraviolence-vinyl/703032

I think only the box set vinyl is picture disc'ed (presumably so its something exclusive?), and all others (except the UO one) are just plain black. There's a standard 11-track vinyl and a deluxe 14-track one as well (like there was with BTD) - both are 2LP's though.
-
"official" pls 95% of the bridge is blatantly wrong and those asian creds look ~so legit~
-
Australian Target has no exclusives as far as I know - if any store were to get bonus tracks it would've been JB
-
This is the first time a JB pre-order for me has not come by release date I just went and got a copy of the standard from Big W tho to hold me over til monday (takes my grand UV total to 6 ooooops - take my money power & glory lanz take it all ) but evens my numbers (2 standard, 2 deluxe, 2 vinyl )

I've got more to add I think the whole song is a commentary about all the criticism she's received, and only the second verse relates to the ~elusive mimicker~ The first verse: she's passed the test of both a long road to success and recognition, as well as the test of being critiqued - she made it out of that field of feeling so defeated she wouldn't write another record. Pre-chorus: she's 'laying down' for further criticism anyone can throw at her, through also using a lil bit of self-satire in the use of her tried n tested lyrical and aesthetic cliches (linens & curls, rivieras, diamonds & pearls) that all the critics use to describe her in the condescending introductory paragraph of any hate article , then going in to the sarcastic gospel of the chorus also dicussion point: could there also be a double or alternative meaning in 'fucked my way up'? could she be sayin she fucked up on her way to the top?? discuss
-
Yeah, wasn't saying i agreed with that idea, but its a justification of where Taylor theories could be derived. Although I am still on the side that the chorus is from Lana's perspective, in a non-literal, sarcastic way to scoff at the theories around her path to fame (addressing rumours that circulated in the SNL backlash - similar to how the song could be 'my daddy paid me to the top' to address the rob rumours etc.) or the chorus could even be a conversational banter kind of deal? "I fucked my way up to the top? [No] This is my show (i.e. I'm in control and got here by myself) I fucked my way up to the top? Go baby go (i.e. fuck off and go away)"

I just saw this and freaked, but I'm calling fake - STC is a Saudi Arabia network, so I went on Saudi Arabia iTunes and there's no first play, or even iTunes radio *oop + wrong song length and 2 stars not 3* -

I just got notification that one of my 4 orders of UV (the AUS bonus postcard set) just shipped - meaning I may have it a day earlier than the 13th....only thing is its the only not-deluxe edition of my 4 orders -
And my Jazz collection's rad (?) I can play most anything I'm a Brooklyn baby, I'm a Brooklyn baby
-
Brooklyn Baby will also give us an idea/indication of how the album itself will flow, completing the gap in the tracklisting of the other promo singles

Human biology is a boring topic but that doesn't mean I don't believe in it - this is just being blown so out of proportion. Espescially when she said a pro-feminism line straight after she said it bores her. I agree her phrasing was clunky and easily skewed (especially when the media is choosing to ignore the 'I believe all women should be free' line in all their articles....) but this is being blown up way more than it deserves
-
I think the muffled line she says in the background of the last chorus is 'hit me down tonight' or something similar....
-
Their T&C say you've got 14 days from when you receive the product to cancel so you have a ~case~ Get ahold of ma customer service gel Jasmin, she did NOT mess around
