Seems like US AC fans won't have to pay a fortune to have it shipped overseas...

yes! looks amazing

so glad it will see a proper us release.

okay i have to DEFINTITELY get my ass up at 6am on record store day now

very excited, this is my favorite animal collective album

Happy day.

Yay!

Hooray, no international shipping AND no reason to get out of bed early on RSD. Gonna mosey in after work and just enjoy whatever sales and bands there may be.

Fantastic news.

so it's only going to be in the UK and europe for record store day?
am i reading this right?

and then it's not going to be in the USA until may??

Correct. Was/is a UK RSD exclusive, US release on May 26!

I'm pretty sure record store day uk carries over to australia right? does anyone know?

anyone know when can i preorder for us version?????????

very excited, this is my favorite animal collective album

actually it's not an album though

technically yes it is an album, and now a vinyl record
though it is an "extended play" different from "long play" release
still an "album"

Very happy to hear this.

the vinyl is up for pre-order on amazon for $15.98!

o snap! thnx for the update!!!
i get paid tomorrow hoorayyyyy

Awe shit gonna preorder tomorrow

technically yes it is an album, and now a vinyl record
though it is an "extended play" different from "long play" release
still an "album"

wow, never heard this definition before, so does album mean the size 12" then?

but if you talk about the album version of a single, you usually mean the version of the song on the lp, not an extended 12" mix?

back on topic, i'm afraid this is one of those ac releases i don't quite get. which is weird since i'm a big fan of vashti bunyan too, but i think the songs just are not strong enough here, but that's just my opinion.

The term album originally referred to an actual album, like a picture album, that contained numerous 78s or 45s in its sleeves. It's a hold over from that time, meaning a collection of songs

^this is correct

End of an Ear

they have great deals most times and have a random gems but are often missing things that would seem obvious, too.
