"Violet Bent Backwards Over the Grass" Spoken Word Poetry Album - Pre-Release Thread

[Fingertips 72,034]

This will likely be available to purchase on iTunes audiobooks, correct?

I think the audio book is expensive for like a few tracks, but I guess it’s going to a good cause.

Townsend Music now have the green vinyl version of Violet available to pre-order for £22, it's listed as limited edition and seems to be the only UK webstore selling them atm

It's up at Rough Trade and a couple of other stores I checked. This should probably be as available as the blue NFR then.

I can’t believe it’s only a week away!!!! I can barely contain my excitement. I have a feeling this project is gonna absolutely blow us away. I’ve been rereading some of the poems to get myself ready. It’s a shame the physical copies won’t be out til October, but I’m just so happy I’ll get to hear it at all.

 

Does anyone have plans for their first listen?

Certainly listening at midnight on my stoop, then off to a creek in the morning. With this year so wrong, this experience must go right!

So do y'all think the bundles are going to go up once the audiobook is released? I feel like any other time would be kind of strange

i feel like the bundles are going to have COTCC with them as well & once she announces COTCC the album pre-order and the VBBOTG bundles will be together , i mean it have to do with COTCC since the hardcover of the poetry book comes 20 days after COTCC!!! ◡̈◡̈

Collector's edition!

[overlookglow 288]

All the bundle links are back up and working, with pictures. They're not on the store home page though, you still need the specific link.

 

Cream Vinyl on its own is not back yet.

The way I've spent more money on this random project than I have for her musical albums..

[anwdelrey 9,270]

the Canadian store redirects to nfr merch so annoying.

[SouthInGuy 1,699]

I hope they put those tapes up on their own since I already bought everything else... Why couldn't they put these bundles up to begin with?? And I'm dying to know what the Tape Deck is...

My exact thoughts. I would have gotten the Oranges Edition with the CD and picture disc to begin with. Now I have to buy them separately.

[overlookglow 288]

This has to be the worst merch launch to date, what a mess.

 

I'm worried that because the Cream Vinyl hasn't gone back up on its own, the store might limit it to the bundles. In which case, they might cancel the order I made last time when it was briefly possible to purchase individually.

 

Also, I have the cassette ordered from FNAC but the product page no longer works, so I think that order might get cancelled.

 

Tempted to order Collector's Bundle + Black Vinyl and request all the individual orders be cancelled, as they're still pending. What do you think?

[Cinnamon Boy 34]

lol these bundles are up but i don't see them on lana's store screen? Also where is the link for the tape deck

[brooklynbxby 359]

I’m just so confused... I ordered the cream vinyl when the link worked. Got a confirmation email but just a couple days ago I noticed my order was no longer in my account history in my bank app but I never received an email stating my order was canceled? Has anyone had the same problem?

My preorders are all still showing up in my account. But now I want to cancel them and order the bundles instead. It will save me over $30 !! But I don't see any way to cancel them. WTF

 

EDIT: Actually none of the bundles include the black vinyl version and I ordered that version as well. So I'm keeping my preorders as they are, the black vinyl is the $30 difference. The only thing I don't have preordered is the cassette

you have to contact costumer service, there’s a section about it in the FAQ
