LyraSilvertongue Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 Glad you got one I did go into Banquet Records in the end. They said they'd probably have about 10 but they can't keep any aside, you have to go on the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LyraSilvertongue Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 It kinda sucks for people who were working/sleeping/away from the computer at the time the announcement was made, though. I was shopping! I just happened to check the forum on my Muse app. Good job I did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lily93 Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 It kinda sucks for people who were working/sleeping/away from the computer at the time the announcement was made, though. Having only 500 here sucks, having plain old artwork sucks, live B sides, one of them being their weakest performances sucks....matt bellamy having an italian model to sex all the time, sucks....life itself, sucks. And the irony is that is really what exo is about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They said they'd probably have about 10 but they can't keep any aside, you have to go on the day. Biggest vinyl store in Detroit can not even say if they are going to get any on U.S. Record Store Day so how on earth can a store in the UK say they are getting 10?

a-museing Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 Tower Records in Dublin told me that they would definately have it on the day but they are unsure of how many they will get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lily93 Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 How many are being made? If it's really 2000, then 500 are already gone via here, which leaves 1500 for the UK, Ireland, rest of Europe and the states. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

O_o I got the message on my phone also, but didn't actually get on here to order til a few hours after, so I'm glad it wasn't sold out before I got my order in.

ZombieEaten Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 Maybe the UK stores are more efficient? Actually, probably. I worked at the largest indie record store in the UK through 6th form and Uni - Ainley's in Leicester. I bet they have ordered some from Warner Bros.imports which means even less for the US stores that don't even know Muse. Also, the stores I have spoken to had already placed their RDS orders before Exo was announced and had to go look for it. So they gladly took my info and ordered some but then wouldn't let me pre-order. Greedy bastards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's really 2000, then 500 are already gone via here, which leaves 1500 for the UK, Ireland, rest of Europe and the states. According to the RDS site there are 2,000. So maybe 1,500 for US (including Import companies that may be able to order for ROW), and 500 for muse.mu. US RDS also has some other interesting releases: Flaming Lips and others: Dark Side of the Moon Hendrix: Live @ Clark Uni Joy Division: 4LP box set Manchester Orchestra: Live Tom Waits: Mule Variations Sex Pistols: GRRS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair the UK stores aren't allowed to take pre-orders either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Me Rug I Sty Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 I emailed all the stores from my country. One said they had no intention of ever getting it as it was "outside of their genre range". But the other to reply so far said they could try ordering it makes me wonder why Record Store Day listed a website that knew nothing about it...

frutiger75 Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 hah, bitch. so those of us in teh states can't even pre-order? we have to go, physically, to a participating store on the 17th to possibly get one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't that kind of the idea of Record Store Day? To get people to actually go, physically, to stores? I'd feel "safer" pre-ordered one, but to be honest I kind of like the idea of rushing out to the store and waiting in line to get one. Muse seems mostly out of the genre specialty of my local store so I'm guessing there won't be a stampede for the Muse album. At least I hope not.

At least I hope not. well of course it's the point. i'm going to go to one of the participating stores in my area. the question is: does anyone know of how these mofos are going to be allocated among the participating stores? ...as in, how many will be allocated per store? is it based on a store's "affirmative request"?

Before we moved, we used to live near a Tower Records and my whole family could spend an hour at Tower easy. Of course, it went bye bye. The two independent record stores we had here both went out of business. I would spend extra to shop at those stores, even though I knew I could get a cd cheaper at Best Buy or something.
