Just found release copy of NLOTH in Los Angeles

[lovewontletmego]

Hope this is the right place for a thread on this.

Not sure how much news value there is in this, or if anyone will care, but a record finder friend of mine just got me a copy of NLOTH at Record Surplus, a store in Los Angeles. He's bringing me the CD tonight, so I can post pics if people are interested.

From what he said the disc has no surprises, simple jewel case, 11 tracks. No frills.

However, it's always nice to see them out in the wild.

Seriously?

Hmm, I wonder if it's a promo copy. Did he buy it used there? I see a lot of promo editions at my local CD shops.

 

[lovewontletmego]

Seriously.

My friend could be wildly off the mark, but it's pretty unlikely. And Record Surplus often gets things before the release as they are pushed through the distribution system. No idea how many they have, probably just a couple.

 

[lovewontletmego]

Could be promo. Don't know. But he said it looked legit. He said it was sealed and sold as new.

 

[victor_f]

you could try to download linear and leak it to the world...

They just said it was a standard CD.

 

[lovewontletmego]

Okay, my friend confirms that it's regular release. Hole punch in UPC but otherwise, same as retail.

Should be in my hands in a few hours.

I got my media CD and it was standard.. nothing that made it look different. = on the cellophane, as people have said.

hole punch in the UPC means (like mine) that it's a media copy

Does yours have liner notes?

 

[bcrt2000]

a lossless rip would be

Does yours have liner notes?

yup, and if people are intersted in what the art is, it's basically the photos that are making the rounds in NLOTH ads in music magaines this week.

Sometimes promos or advanced copies show up in independant stores like that. I remember recently Blu-ray copies of 8 Mile showed up in some store when Universal had pulled it from release.

 

[lovewontletmego]

Okay, so the news value on this was pretty limited. I figured it had to be. Sorry for the redundancy.

 

[romi]

i think it was interesting that copies are already available - before the release

 

[Sicy]

Oh stop, we have less than a week to wait now.

We'd love to see what the liner notes are....

 

[lazarus]

So was there more than one copy available? And do you know how much it was?

I can be there in like 15 minutes!!

A week before Zooropa came out I went to Target. I thought I would just look through the U2 CD's and what did I find? A row of about 6 Zooropa CD's. It doesn't supprise me because apparently the stock boy/girl messed up and stocked some new CD's they just got. It was a very niceday I went back the next day to pick up a copy for my buddy and they were all gone.

 

[Yahweh]

Congrats to those that have an early copy I wouldnt mind getting my hands on one but I can wait till next week

 

[lovewontletmego]

Just got home with it.

Liner notes are mainly the pulicity photos we've seen this year. All black and white. Pretty underwhelming.

I believe they have more at record surplus, but they may not be available for purchase just yet. My friend got one because he knows the owner.

The Physical copy underwhelms, although I imagine that's because they have so many more elaborate versions. However, after the tepid response I felt tot he cover, I now think the image is pretty awesome and the front and back of the CD work very well.

Glad that you snatched an early copy, have a question for you, how is the sound on the CD, does it clip as the getmusic mp3s or does it sound better?

 

[romi]

it sounds about the same, I think

Now that you have the physical disc, try seeing if you can view Linear film online. Pop your disc into your PC and go to

For Aussies..

Copies are for sale now in Sydney at JB Hifi and Red Eye Records as of 5PM Today. i actually didn't buy it as I'm waiting for the box set to arrive in a few days

 

[Canadiens1131]

Pics required.

 

[Clawgrabber]

Yeah, I bought a copy of Springsteen's "Devils And Dust" at a used cd shop a week before it came out. I dare say that bloggers and critics aren't paid enough when they have to suppliment their income by reselling cd's BEFORE the actual release date.
