Haha. Assuming this isn't a joke...in Europe they swap the month and day when writing the date. April 9th, 2012: in the US, 04/09/2012; in UK, 09/04/2012.
If it is a joke, well played. :D

The price went down, and now includes a post card to first 50 orders? So if I ordered yesterday I paid more and get less?

And the price didn't drop. It's still 19.99 on Rough Trade webstore. It's just that it's cheaper on the Rough Trade Records webstore. Seems like there is a big difference between these two...

Free download of non-album track Heavy Chevy (which will, I gather be on the free 7", along with "Mama"and "Pocket Change" according to Rough Trade):

Not sure I prefer it to the live version:



Also, there may indeed be a difference between the two rough trades; one will be for the physical store, the other for the label itself. No idea about the postcard issue.

Also, anybody going to the Boston Arms show, NME have a poster and it is saweeet:

Just to clarify: although the record label Rough Trade are releasing the LP over here with the 7", the record shop Rough Trade are not the exclusive stockists. As far as I'm aware, the 7" comes with all initial copies of the LP, no matter where you're ordering it from. That should include the usual suspects - Rise, Norman, Piccadilly etc - and maybe even Amazon too.

Hmmm... One of my local shops posted on FB yesterday that they had a couple, but I can't get up there till the weekend (when I will be in that town to actually see the Shakes perform :) ). Maybe I should call and see if they could charge one or two to my credit card and hold 'em for me.


Never mind. Just called and they sold the last one last night. Oh well.
