Blue Crack Distributor
If anyone ordered from Ideal Copy, they told me it would ship on or around the 26th.
Mine is supposed to be in the mail from Vintage Vinyl. If and when it arrives, opening the package will feel like opening the Wonka Bar to find a golden ticket after reading this thread.
I'm going to go to the Princeton Record Exchange on Friday and get a copy just in case. I can always give the extra copy to my brother for Christmas.
I'd be curious if you find any places that say definitively they will have it.
The second of the two stores I talked to seemed confident they'd be getting the U2 vinyl, but they couldn't say for sure.

Yeah, Vintage Vinyl claims to have shipped mine. I got a tracking number but the info hasn't updated in two days: "electronic shipping info received." Ideal Copy claims they are going to be able to fill their pre-orders. I stopped by my local shop today and the guy seemed pretty sure he would get some, claimed he had talked to the distributor today.
No way I'm paying $100 on eBay for this.
Thanks, bonocomet, just checked and mine has been updated too. Still going out on Friday if I don't have the package in hand by Wednesday, though. Can't afford to take any chances.

Not to be a party pooper, but why do we care so much about hearing live versions of songs we've heard a million times before? Is it just because it's an official release?
Just had an email from amazon UK saying order has been cancelled,because item is on available to u2 fan club members!
Unfortunately, our suppliers have informed us that the sale of this item is restricted to U2 Fan Club members only. We are, therefore, unable to obtain a copy of this item for you. For this reason, it has been removed from our catalogue and cancelled from your order; you have not been charged for it.
Come on, Mr. Smee... he was just askingObviously you don't care, thats fine, but I do. You're not being a party pooper, you're just being ignorant and obtuse.
Apparently the guy who reported to atu2.com that he already found two copies Article & pics HERE is a douchebag and is now selling one of his copies on eBay: U2 Wide Awake In Europe ...
What an ass. He could have left a copy for another fan to find, but chose to take advantage of fellow fans instead. Douchebag.
Wow what a jerk.
Interesting that Amazon now says it's only for U2.com fanclub members,... does that mean it'll be in the webshop?
Very valid point. It's likely a fuck up anyway, since they said themselves that it'll be available to Irish/UK people specifically, rather than their own members.The sentence contains "U2.com". You of all people should know that there must be something incorrect in that message!
Anyone besides me pre-order from Vintage Vinyl and NOT received a shipping confirmation?
When did you order?
