They're going to lock the doors...not to keep people from getting in, but to keep the tiktok girlies from walking out at Judah Smith Interlude.

I'd be ok with it if someone just leaked CN to these two.

I could see it being this one. This sounds amazing, it would be perfect..

Some stores have mentioned it's a "cover litho", i'm guessing it's from the standard black vinyl cover.

Whichever one may attract the smaller crowd, help your raffle odds!

Niiice!! This is going to be fun.

I don't think any store has been charging, as far as I know, just some do have limited space. Each store seems to be handling it their own way though, so I'd check directly with them. My store, for example, isn't doing tickets.

Ask your local store, they may not be needed.

I'm sure it depends on the store. I'd be shocked if more than 5 people show up to mine.

Personally I wouldn't have this be my first listening experience, so I'm going to listen tonight and then go get some swag and listen with other Lana fans on Wednesday. One of the listening parties in my area is at a crowded mall, so no thanks. I'll be at one in a tiny record store ,in a tiny town, should be nice.

They "have since spoken with Lana's team"....I get a party! ....

I highly recommend contacting your local store to confirm how they're handling the event. It's clear not all locations are doing tickets, but it seems likely if they expect a large crowd and could run short on space. I mentioned it earlier, but while all 7 of the stores listed as participating in my state will NOT be hosting a listening party, I did find one store about 30 min. away that IS having a listening party, even though they are NOT listed on Lana's site. So maybe it's worth asking if you don't see your nearest store listed.

Being able to sign up to host house parties would have been fun. Send me the posters/raffle swag and i'll supply the drinks!

IMO, no way. Boz said the surprise had nothing to do with Ocean tracks and this listening party is entirely about those tracks, lol

Looks like almost 7 pages were moved to the 'listening party' thread.

Wherever you're wanting to attend, I would contact that store directly and confirm how they're doing it, since not all flagged locations are actually even planning on participating.

Even for Boz, it would be odd for him to say "No, this is something not related to any Ocean album tracks" if he was talking about the listening parties for Ocean

They're usually the whole album. Like the one our store is doing for Melanie, 8 days before her album comes out.

The delulu in me wants to believe the real surprise is there is an extended length digital only version of the album about to drop...i'm sure the space limitations of vinyl were on their mind the whole time, since they seemed to cut it so close as is.

Our chain of record stores (the one that knows nothing about this event they're listed as participating in) does a lot of listening parties and they always have free exclusive swag for whatever artist is featured. Hopefully they get their shit together.

RIP

Help. All 7 of the record stores in my state (listed on Lana's site) have DENIED there's a listening party for Lana, they know nothing about it!!! They did invite me to attend the listening party for Melanie Martinez on the 31st though

I don't see anything. There's 7 in my little state and no announcement by the stores yet, so sent a DM.

I only see one in Utah, in Provo of all cities, lol. @3Hive Record Lounge, which i've never heard of.

Same!! Less than a mile away, i'm there!
