No one has mentioned the pun inherent in the cover art: the album is called "Detroit STORIES" and we're looking up at a group of Detroit's multi-story buildings.

Agreed.

Not sure if anyone else ordered it, but I’ve had the blue vinyl cancelled by JPC. I can only assume it’s been withdrawn for some reason?

Update on the JPC vinyl. They’ve now got back to me and advised the following...

“As we all know, the EU member Great Britain will become a third country from 2021.

For us in the service department, this means that we unfortunately have to cancel the current order in order to be able to carry out the changeover in our system without any problems.

End customers from the UK will only be able to buy from usagain in the new year and order the cancelled items again via our shop page.”

Seems like an odd thing to do, but then what do I know! The refund came just in time to buy the new Good Records version instead!

Tried to identify through the different suggestions on here which vinyl to get. (I only buy one)
Am I right in thinking that black, purple and red aren't limited edition? They seem to be available through most links and stores and that other colours seem to be really difficult to get hold of from places such as Nuclear Blast due to (I'm presuming) Brexit.

You should go for the splatter version from Good records.

I am going to humbly apologise for complaining about the Blu Ray release...It has always came accross as a bit of a cash grab in the sence you HAVE to buy the box set to get it. BUT the T Shirt in the box set is a pleasant suprise, I was expecting the album cover printed on it which would have been a terrible T shirt. The design released though looks not too bad and actually that T-Shirt will serve me well at a future concert. So despite the fact I have not owned a CD player in 10 years the Blu Ray/ T Shirt combo is not too bad value (and even better value for anyone with a CD player of course)...Pre order placed.

Boom boxes are still (relatively) cheap, around $50 & they've added a aux feature that allows you to plug in your device.
I keep it in the garage for when I'm working on the car.

Thanks for the heads up, I'm from the UK so has cost me a small fortune to have it sent over but also gone for Live from the Astroturf release which for some reason I never ordered, so win win.

Just pre-ordered the purple vinyl/poster. So have done everything I said I would refuse to do and ordered the box set for the blu ray only as no CD player and ordered a seperate vinyl. No will power here.

EDIT and also just seen the above comment on Astroturf after posting this so bought that as well

Yeah but my setup for music is my record player via Sonos or prime muaic via sonos. My soundbar setup is good enough for blu ray concerts and syncs properly but I'm not messing about with wiring to hook up my ps4 to my Sonos whenever i want to play 1 CD. Prime music sounds compressed compared to vinyl. I also like buying vinyl, i an ideal world there would have been a blu ray/vinyl release but never mind. Thanks to holding out until now I have also got a copy of Astroturf so its all good

Did anyone get a delay notice on their vinyl via the official UK store

Yup, got one too.

For those interested, the blue JPC vinyl exclusive has come back in stock and can be ordered on a 1 per customer basis...

I know some US people got delay emails about the box set, and just had a friend saying that Townsend Music is saying it's delayed until after March 1st...

I pre-ordered a few things through Earmusic, but due living in the U.S., everything came usually a week or two later. A couple of those things were delayed, so I didn’t receive them until over a month after the release date. It is irritating.

Amazon on the other hand has always gotten my pre-order to me on the day of release. Amazon sent a shipping update yesterday that the record was shipped and at the facility in my city, so it will be here tomorrow.

Earmusic is also not the only label that I have had issues getting pre-orders on time from. I always tried to support the label directly, but it’s become to much of a nuisance in my opinion.

My box set from Amazon US shipped today and arrives Saturday.

And.. I woke up this morning to emails saying all my orders have been delayed until at least March 1st...
As Townsend Music are the official retailer for the album as per the official site and links this is pretty poor service.
On top of that it will hurt any chart positions etc as a LOT of people will have ordered via the official site/links.
