Well done, well done!
Ordered.
Fingers crossed they honor it.
I remember they listed the newest RHCP album at $8.00 and plenty of folks had their order honored.
Hanni himself also threw the last album up at midnight a week or so early and maybe had it as a reduced price as a "Moonlight/Midnight" sort of sale. I got the LP a week or more early.

Somehow, this went under my radar.
I was present for some of the last days of DBA and what a sight.
It's a shame to see such a beautiful and creative place crumble.
“Every great city has a space like Death By Audio. If yours doesn’t, you should start one.”
Those words are the last thing to appear on the screen at the end of a new film called GOODNIGHT BROOKLYN: THE STORY OF DEATH BY AUDIO, which documents the rise and fall of the Williamsburg, New York, venue from a Domino Sugar Factory reception area to one of the neighborhood’s last great DIY performance spaces.
GOODNIGHT BROOKLYN manages to tell two stories at once. First, there’s the triumphant tale of Conboy and his friends creating something out of nothing and finding both national attention and a local community. “We didn’t belong in New York City,” the Future Islands frontman, Samuel T Herring, says in the film, “but we immediately felt like: ‘These people are like us!’” Patrick agrees: “Death by Audio really became a spiritual home to the community.”
Because Death by Audio was a ‘spiritual home’ for so many, the film’s second story plays like a melodrama, complete with a villain – Vice. But in what is perhaps the ultimate signal of the death of Williamsburg cool, in the film, artist Nick Kuszyk notes that in a different era, the “F*** you, Vice” scrawled on the wall of the doomed space would have ended up on the cover of the magazine.

“ A solid and gloriously raunchy slice of blues-shot rock & roll that recalls the Rolling Stones in their Sticky Fingers/Exile on Main St. glory days with its gutsy guitar lines and horn accents. But the Soledad Brothers don't seem to be channeling the sound of the Stones so much as their approach on The Hardest Walk.”

Splatter vinyl.
It's a couple of bucks cheaper on Bullmoose if anybody's interested.
