National Anthem

i wondering that too. I’m in the US, so if she’s just signing cards… will they be shipped to some European store and then back out to me??? That would take forever

AHHHH that video of her signing art cards made me SO EXCITED

So Turntable Lab changed that listing for an “indie exclusive” 2LP to just a 2LP. So that pretty much confirms any last hope that there is an indie version coming! unless we get some webstore drop on release day with merch/picture discs/lithos, there is nothing else coming! So 4 vinyl, 4 CD, 2 cassette. the ONLY other possible scenario for more to collect would be regional differences. Like if there is a “Made In Canada” vs “Made In France” deal with any of the variants this time around.

I’m sad that I won’t get any copies of BB on Friday since apparently the vinyl doesn’t come out until the 29th and my other orders are coming from overseas 😭 hoping I can at least grab the target CD in person on Friday???

it’s either Friday or nothing! Crossing my fingers

omg why am I just realizing all stores are showing 10/29 for the vinyl I can’t wait an extra week

i would think so? But for some reason the LP shows a release date of 10/29 where the CD is 10/22. Hoping that will be fixed and it was just a glitch.

I’ve began my asking my local record if they have the album. I got lucky and got Chemtrails days early so hoping I’ll get lucky again! I got Daddy’s Home about a week early. It would just be the black LPs, but that’s okay! 11 days guys

Small update, I messaged my local record store and they said this: “oddly enough we've preordered a black vinyl version but don't see that we can order the indie exclusive - although i DO see that it exists” soooo I still have no idea lol. I feel like what they might seeing is the indie exclusive red LP overseas? Still curious what TTL will say.

Soooo did we ever find out more about this possible indie exclusive from TTL?

Does anyone remember how late we got signed lithos and the final picture disc for Chemtrails? Like is it feasible there still could be those things coming for BB?

Maybe dumb question but all of the signed copies are art cards right? The US store kinda makes it look like a signed booklet but assuming they are all just the same art cards

i honestly don’t think it’s coming ? I’d be shocked if we even got signed prints now

Me getting in line on Black Friday for my 13th vinyl copy of chemtrails knowing blue banisters isn’t pressed on blue vinyl

Not me buying my 13th Chemtrails vinyl this November but anyway I am soooo excited I feel like this RSD one could be my fave variant of them all. also to those asking about the cherry red/burgundy Target version vs the more scarlet red, just look for the small white “Made in Canada” sticker on the back on the shrink wrap. That will tell you it’s the darker transparent one. No guarantee which one Target will ship you, but you could always return and reorder it until you get the one you want.

My orders so far: Transparent white 2xLP Transparent yellow 2xLP Standard CD Alt Cover CD #1 Alt Cover CD #2 Red cassette Brown cassette Waiting to get: Red 2xLP (will likely pick up on release day) Target CD (will likely pick up on release day) Black 2xLP (will likely pick up on release day)

pretty much the only possible ones left to announce would be more stuff on her webstore, like signed copies or picture discs

Updated indie and Walmart. After messaging a few indie stores yesterday they definitely do not have one to order and I just don’t think there’s any way that will change between now and October. Walmart has also already uploaded BB, and it’s just the standard vinyl and standard CD. unless we get an update on the webstore later (with signed art cards, a signed litho, a spotify exclusive, or picture discs) I think we are done. Only 4 vinyl variants! Lowest number since NFR!

Messaged a few indie stores today and I’m hearing they don’t see an indie exclusive to order, just standard black. I suppose that could change in the next couple weeks? But I truly doubt it. also— will be curious to see if Assai does their OBI strip this time and if so and on what variant! probably the white. I won’t be purchasing that though lol.

Welp another one down! And like with COTCC, the UO exclusive cassette is the same as webstore. I kinda feel like indie exclusive is out of the question now too, we would have already seen it go up. I feel like this could be all we get this time! I have to agree with what some others said, I think the colors we got were due to what was immediately available for pressing without a wait (i.e. blue may have been backordered). overall I’m just super grateful we’re still somehow getting vinyl shipping on release day! I thought for sure we’d have to wait until next year for vinyl so I’m content.

will continue updating this as more is announced!

oh duh yes! how could I forget! I wouldn’t be surprised if they got a picture disc again

omg my favorite part of each era!!! I looooved living in the COTCC merch thread earlier this year so— I made my order for 7 of the 8 physical formats today! (2 vinyl, 3 CD, 2 cassette) I will pick up the black vinyl on release day or order from Amazon. if we follow the same trend as Chemtrails, we likely still be getting these: - Amazon exclusive - Spotify exclusive - Urban Outfitters exclusive (please be blue ?) - some sort of UK exclusive? (often there is at least an exclusive cassette to this region) - Target exclusive (will be identical to HMV) - Indie exclusive - Walmart? (She hasn’t had one in the past, but over the last year they have almost always had an exclusive with new records, so we’ll see) hoping we get a blue vinyl, the smiling cover on vinyl, and at least one picture disc!
