The Eternal:: Buy Early Get Now - Page 8

Piepi · 03.24.2009, 06:35 AM

As it seems there will be no UK/Europe option for this. So everybody has to order it on 28th April from matador US.

Thin_icE · 03.24.2009, 09:44 AM

As you're not Moshe, I'm disregarding that because you...well, you know.

hiland · 03.24.2009, 01:47 PM

This is kind of a FAIL. Got my preorder this morning at amoeba music hollywood.
I guess I should have read the fine print... cause I assumed the "buy now get early" meant that I would be able to listen to the record now.... But it really means.... I'll get to listen to in a month (April 28th.) Dumb.

On a side now...this record is fucking expensive. $39.98 for the LP.

mil_pl · 03.24.2009, 02:02 PM

I thought you can preorder the record now, but stream/download/etc you will get on 28th of april. or I don't understand this and I am wrong.

I know... But I asked Matador and they said so to me...

Only $10. Wow. That's a great price. CDs here are bloody expensive. I usually go to the used/new CD store, great prices there. ANYWAY, yeah I'm shocked at that price, I'll go to a store here and see it for over $20.

Sonic Youth 37 · 03.24.2009, 10:15 PM

I was surprised too...I'm still not totally sold on everything being just $10, but I have the receipt and little card to prove that I was just scammed.

Thin_icE · 03.25.2009, 09:23 AM

40 bucks for the vynil? Damn, I hope that's not the price on the site...

No problem there - I ordered the previous BEGN (Pavement) from Matador directly, and shipping to Europe for the deluxe 2CD + live LP was very reasonable.

Thin_icE · 03.25.2009, 12:37 PM

Yeah, but the main problem are the import duties that add up to the whole thing.

True - I didn't have to pay anything extra, but I think Dutch customs only charge import duties and/or VAT above a declared value of 25 euros (or something like that).

I still don't get how this works "in real life"... I mean, I can subscribe and order a copy NOW from italy? Or I'll have to wait till april 28th to place the order? Or the 28th april is the day they'll start shipping orders? Fu*k, a mess of stoooopid questions, I know, but I suck at tracking down answers in back pages of threads..
