I will be picking up a copy in some form. Might as well try for the limited striped vinyl, which does indeed look really neat, but I would be happy with a retail black vinyl as well.

chiefbrody wrote:I'm hopeful @Mateo, if for no other reason that the Micalizzi specifically said in the email there wouldn't be a retail version. Then again, I'm sure previous releases have had a retail version announced at the same time on the weekly email.Not necessarily, Chief. You make some good points and I don't think that the Mondo email blasts always include the announcement of a retail edition even when they are forthcoming. I have a general DWRC question for you or anyone else who wants to chime in. Do DWRC retail versions differ in packaging (OBI, gatefold, etc.) as well as vinyl color or is it simply a variant/color issue.
It would seem strange for DWRC to be launching a 'retail programme' and then have two releases in a row with no retail release. As I say, I'm hopeful... but it might be false hope.

Something for the UK/Europe folks to consider before dropping big money on a limited Mondo drop. It is worth noting though that every other title except for the Micalizzi 2LP has received a standard retail pressing (recently on black or a different colored vinyl without a gatefold sleeve).So all recent DWRC retail copies have had less extravagant packaging? No gatefold or obi?

I'm not saying one shouldn't chase the variant, Blastman, it's lovely. Just that there are probably better ways to get this record more affordably than importing from the US especially if the music is of paramount importance.deafmetal wrote:Transmission launch would be my guess, as it's really the only other place they could end up.
