Posted by cafedre 12.19PM, 23 Sep 2009Update for those who have been patiently awaiting the vinyl copy of the BW

Posted by Simon 1.51PM, 12 Aug 2009we are still waiting for the vinyl copies to arrive.
BOATS is no longer avail on wax
Posted by Simon 5.43AM, 11 Aug 2009Hi I ordered Big BW on Lp form here but haven't received it yet? Are any copies left. Also is BOATS available on LP?
Posted by mailmarshall 10.10PM, 10 Aug 2009Oh yeah such sweet smooth sounds thumbs up
Posted by Alien Pop Band 8.05AM, 15 Jul 2009Can Based on a True Story be purchased on vinyl? What's the link to the page wit hit?
Posted by RickD 4.38PM, 6 Jul 2009Greg we are still waiting for the vinyl to be pressed. It shouldn't be far off now.
Posted by Simon 1.46PM, 30 Jun 2009hello, apologies if im being completely dense here, but i ordered and paid for a vinyl copy of boondigga and the big bw on the day it was released (so a month ago i think) and haven't heard a whisper since then. I do live in the uk, but a month to ship seems like a long time.
whatagwan?
Cheers!
