Snagged it, boys

Snagged it, boys.

That's a thing of beauty, congrats. Still waiting on my pre-order or at least a shipping notification at the moment.

Did you pick it up in a shop? I guess that means it's basically being sold a week early, yeah? I wonder if that's on account of the leak earlier this week, or if that was the plan all along and the leak honestly wasn't all that significant, being 3-4 days early.

>$39.99

I found in one of those record/clothing/Polaroid hipster shops while strolling around in Toronto today. They had the CDs, CD + live DVD, and vinyls all on sale. Seems like somebody messed up, but it's about to hit the deck so I guess I can only thank that one employee.

Triple LP with 2 hours of music. About $20 per hour. Not all that absurd, but I'm sure you could get it for closer to $30 - $35 on Amazon or Discogs with a bit of patience.

That's about average for a double LP

Nah, not really. But the market is creeping up towards it, for sure. I'd say about $30 shipped (or out the door at a record shop) is closer to the norm for a double LP.

Take into account this is the Canadian price.

Yeah, that explains it even further.

If he's in Canada that's about right, Swans' triple LPs are typically about 40 canuck funbucks. If that's USD that's pretty absurd though.
