Re: Sweet Heart Sweet Light
Exactly, and I don't see Rough Trade honoring this so I said fuck it and re- ordered.
Re: Sweet Heart Sweet Light
Did your emails from Rough Trade come from someone named Will?
If so, I have emailed him. You all may want to as well.

Yes, Will Burns.
Re: Sweet Heart Sweet Light
yeah, i got the same email today. i went ahead and re-ordered it. i expected something like this from them.
and yes, it was from a guy named will, so i might email as well.

Re: Sweet Heart Sweet Light
Got the same email too. Haven't re-ordered yet, so i guess i should email Will as well.
Can't say i'm surprised. I'd been holding off buying from RT hoping it would turn up at Piccadilly or Norman but those two only had the cd on pre-order so eventually took the plunge with RT. I've never liked dealing with them though.

Re: Sweet Heart Sweet Light
I e-mailed this morning to confirm that it was the white vinyl double LP and Will Burns confirmed to say it was. No mention of a price increase (and just checked my e-mails). If they do I'll try to get it elsewhere and never shop there again.

Re: Sweet Heart Sweet Light
Curious as to when Spiritualized actually sold any music at their gigs apart from that 7" way back when. I first saw them in1991 and i don't recall any records/cd's ever been sold at their concerts. I certainly think it's something they should do, though judging by their t-shirt prices over the years i shudder to think what they'd charge for some actual music.purespace wrote:Same email - - I'm going to gamble on picking this up at the Detroit show

Re: Sweet Heart Sweet Light
This is what is stated on the Rough Trade T&C page, looks like they can do what they like. I wonder will they increase the shipping charges for a double LP as well?

Re: Sweet Heart Sweet Light
Mark it down. There will be an increase in shipping too.
I ordered 3 copies of the LP and of the 7"(US message board members asked me to order for them too) and I am waiting to hear back from Will about how much the shipping will be.
If they were quoting on a single LP its got to increase just based on weight. No idea why this being a double Lp is some sort of revelation to Rough Trade or anyone else for that matter. Every other Spiritualized vinyl LP release is a double except FUI.

Re: Sweet Heart Sweet Light
This is getting more annoying by the minute. 20 GBP is pricey even for a double-LP. I just pre-ordered the new Monolake from Norman Records. Price? 15.49 GBP + 6.50 GBP shipping = 21.99 GBP for Gatefold 2x12" + CD.
Re: Sweet Heart Sweet Light
Received an email from Will today saying the price has increased to £20 and that I would have to re-order.
So be it.

Re: Sweet Heart Sweet Light
makes you realise just how good the likes of amazon are- if the list price is accidently £5 instead of 50 you only have to pay 5. also preorders are protected against price increases. i pre-ordered a book that was delayed and released a few months later at a higher price but i still only was charged my initial price. never liked rough trade- went into the shop once (when i got a&e) and it seemed like a 'hipster' paradise- i half expected the libertines to be working behind the counter with a half used cig hanging from a slack jaw...not my place i'm afraidBroc wrote:This is what is stated on the Rough Trade T&C page, looks like they can do what they like.

Re: Sweet Heart Sweet Light
Absolutley. While I try my best to support small labels/record shops etc I have to order a lot online (being in Ireland). Amazon are always super with shipping charges, price guarantees and general customer service.bunnyben wrote: makes you realise just how good the likes of amazon are- if the list price is accidently £5 instead of 50 you only have to pay 5. also preorders are protected against price increases. i pre-ordered a book that was delayed and released a few months later at a higher price but i still only was charged my initial price. never liked rough trade- went into the shop once (when i got a&e) and it seemed like a 'hipster' paradise- i half expected the libertines to be working behind the counter with a half used cig hanging from a slack jaw...not my place i'm afraid
Only time I've been undercharged was with Randall Nieman from Fuxa/Mind Expansion for Spectrum's War Sucks 12" and on that occasion I volunteered to pay the extra $5, happy to help out with that one.

it's still a shame to change the valuation.
i was thinking that even if i want to call the conversation of format an amateurish act of trying to somehow run a recordlabel, then maybe this happened because Jase mixed together a final mix thats so long that it just did not fit on one single vinyl. all this mess because he extended tracks. lovely.
Re: Sweet Heart Sweet Light
To be fair to Rough Trade, it seems to have been an honest mistake, and they've alerted people to it well in advance of the release date - if people are unhappy with the new price, then there will be other places it can be ordered from.
It's much harder for a shop like that to be able to absorb any price increase caused by a mistake than it is for a giant like Amazon.

Re: Sweet Heart Sweet Light
Let's hope that Rough Trade has learned to properly package their vinyl shipments. The last thing I ordered from them was A&E. The records were not removed from the sleeve and so tore right through the spine (I was not the only one who received this record in this condition). I emailed them about it and they were quick to respond that they would send me a new sleeve. 4 years later, I'm still waiting.
It might be worth requesting that they do this (not to have to tell them how to do their job or anything).

Re: Sweet Heart Sweet Light
Double Six won't ship the LP version of SHSL to the US. Is Rough Trade my only option? Surely other retailers will get copies of the white vinyl to sell, right? I'd like to order it through Norman, as I have always had good experiences with them.
Re: Sweet Heart Sweet Light
Did anyone else receive this email?
I just want to make sure I'm getting spammed...........
Dear customer,
We're really sorry to email regarding this, but there has been a change to this title that required us to contact you.
The LP is now a double LP, but has also gone up in price, so we have had to change the price on-line.
Due to the secure nature of our website, I can't actually adjust this on your existing orders, so we have had to cancel those and reluctantly
ask you to re-order, should you want the item at the higher price of £19.99
Below is the link to buy the new version.

Apologies again,
Will

Re: Sweet Heart Sweet Light
Of those people who sent an email of complaint back to Rough Trade has anyone got a response? I've not heard anything from them yet.

Re: Sweet Heart Sweet Light
They are not apologizing.
For those in the US I now have 4 people in on our order. I will pm at least one more. The postage isn't that great of a break however the more LPs shipped together less chance of a nasty packaging surprise. The break is they are shipping insured instead regular airmail.
I just received an email from Rough Trade letting me know if we get a few more pre orders they will ship FEDEX in a well packed box. My guess is we need at least 2 or 3 more people in on this.
Then I have to split the order up and re-ship in proper lp mailer(US style).

I wonder did the band really increase the price?

Re: Sweet Heart Sweet Light
I re-ordered as they said they'd keep the shipping to Ireland the same (£4) which I appreciate and also..
The issue with the other vendor retaining the original price, is that they are the label itself (who have upped the price..!)
As they don't have to pay a distributor or any handling charge between themselves and the customer, they can afford to not increase the price...
We will be emailing all customers who ordered and re-ordered with us next week with a discount code on your next order by way of apology.
Seems fair enough I suppose.

Re: Sweet Heart Sweet Light
I have no problem with Rough Trade at all. Norman Records on the other hand I defintitely do and wont order anything from them. Only as a very last resort.

Re: Sweet Heart Sweet Light
Norman have always been fantastic for me. Every time I order it arrives within 3/4 days and is well packaged and they're always quick to respond. They're pretty much the cheapest option 90% of the time too. If they don't have something I've emailed and they've got hold of it for me. Great service. Rough Trade however... I don't like them at all. I remember going to the Jarvis cocker in store and the lp/cd you had to buy to get a wristband. The price of the product went down pretty dramatically once the in store had been and gone. Plus, they charge way too much for some stuff. WAYYYYYYY too much.
Re: Sweet Heart Sweet Light
The VAT thing can be important. The shop I work in offers a VAT free service although it involves a litte complication on our part as well as our American customers. If some places can do it easily enough I don't see why all can't.
Having said that I have never known any US based mail order outlets sell anything with US tax deducted. But then I don't understand American tax which seems to be different in every state.

Re: Sweet Heart Sweet Light
Its completely different here(US). It is regulated by each State.
You should never, ever be charged sales tax. We dont even have to charge sales tax if it is shipping out the state let alone the country.
We dont have VAT. Just sales tax. For instance Michigan is 6%.

from my experience, all Domino (post-2010 or whatever) releases have a download code.
I must sat, Honest Jons records in London gave me a great first experience. I ordered 4 LPs on thursday night and the arrived in the pst this morning. Damon Albarn should have more record shops. I'm gonna relax with my Reggae for the day.

Re: Sweet Heart Sweet Light
Going back a few pages here, I'm surprised so many of you are averse to the noise/improv parts on LAG. I know Cop Shoot Cop won't be everyone's cup of tea but the brooding start and then massive freakout of noise brings that album to such a perfect finish. Not to mention the sections of All Of My Thoughts, The Individual, and No God Only Religion. They perfectly give a dynamic between the calmer moments either side or during. The whole album is structured perfectly for it really, wouldn't change any of it.
But anyway. Liking this new single. Not the most Earth shattering track I've heard from them but still looking forward to the album and Manchester show.

Re: Sweet Heart Sweet Light
agreed..
weird how some only seem to appreciate the pop/gospel/strings/whatever side of things..
who would have thought that 15-20 years ago?
the freakouts and the dreampop noise of the live LGM era was one of the reasons to why I became a big fan..
..and the heavy live freakouts around LAGWAFIS were great fun and confirmed that they weren´t just another entry on a list of pop/rock bands I liked.

Re: Sweet Heart Sweet Light
been wondering what kinda setlist they'll do on this tour. since the album isn't actually out are they gonna play it in its entirety? or is it gonna be split between it & the back catalogue?
i gotta be honest & say i'd kinda prefer to get at least a smattering of the oldies. for 2 reasons: i wasn't overly fond of the new material when i last heard it; & i've missed the intensity of a full throttle Spz gig for a while & am doubtful i'd get that from an hour w/the new songs.
but at the same time it is nice to have something new so i dunno... it's hard to know what to want when you're spoilt for choice! isn't life great?! (sometimes)
what i really simply just want is for them to bring the ruckus. if they do that i'll be satisfied.
(& needs to be louder than A&E tour.)
& is it just the bassist that's changed in this line-up, yea??

Hi there,
Many thanks for your order. Just to keep you informed but this release will now be in-fact a DOUBLE album on coloured white vinyl!! To show the early bird really does get the worm you will receive this version still at the price you paid and not the now increased price of £19.99!
Again many thanks for your custom!
Best
Steve
Never had anything but grief from Rough Trade. Double charging and not sending, over charging and not issuing credit, having to wait six months for something that they said was in stock. I avoid the site these days.
Best online small stores are Norman, What Records, Jumbo, Chemical Records, Juno and Boomkat. Then its either HMV as they a super cheap or Amazon.
Re: Sweet Heart Sweet Light
I am guessing the Fat Possum pressing will be a single lp so instead of chancing it I went ahead and placed an order with RT. Will be at the Detroit show. Can't wait!
Re: Sweet Heart Sweet Light
Got an email back from Domino yesterday informing me the vinyl will come with a download code.

Re: Sweet Heart Sweet Light
My local record store have promised me they will be stocking both the double white vinyl album and the Hey Jane 7" so I can at least save on postage costs (the next month or so looks like it might be a bit of a vinyl blow-out).

Any news of a Limited cd edion?
Re: Sweet Heart Sweet Light
It doesn't look like there will be one as of yet. None of the online stores suggest there may be a limited edition, with all of them only taking preorders for the the CD and vinyl.cantona wrote:Any news of a Limited cd edion?

The Japanese market always get the best stuff, be it extra bonus tracks or just better packaging.mn_spi wrote:Two extra tracks seem to be added for the Japanese edition.

Bought. Yippee.
and through wax seals and padlocks...a hand through my ribcage...past the choking I saw palms and fingers grasping shoulders...collarbone...crushing...I imagined myself hacking desperately at a sea of appendages...freeing myself like a butcher...

However, I think that it is slightly expensive.
Re: Sweet Heart Sweet Light
yeah, i was just about to place my order when i saw that the shipping cost to sweden would be approximately 37 US$, which i think is a little too much for a CD...

Re: Sweet Heart Sweet Light
agh the completist in me does kinda want those two extra tracks. maybe they will crop up as B sides or on itunes at some point
Re: Sweet Heart Sweet Light
Just had a very nice Japanese friend agree to send me a copy of the Japanese edition once he gets it.
Excited, but yes...very expensive, considering that I can preorder the US version for $10 US on Amazon.

Re: Sweet Heart Sweet Light
In this day and age, everything should just be made easily available for commercial purchase. If it's not for sale, it just encourages piracy.
Re: Sweet Heart Sweet Light
Yeah, I don't understand why the Japanese market still gets discs with bonus tracks. I asked a friend in Japan to grab me one, too. Not sure if it'll be worth it just for the two extra tracks (short instrumentals, maybe?), but it'll be nice to have a cd copy, in any case.

Re: Sweet Heart Sweet Light
Was at the Belfast gig last night. Before the gig, the warm DJ played the studio version on Mary, it sounded awesome.
After it he played Hey Little Girl. I haven't been a fan of that song but it was pretty good

Re: Sweet Heart Sweet Light
How good is Heading For The Top? Been listening to the October boots in preparation for Dublin tonight and HFTT has now replaced Hey Jane as my favourite of the new material closely followed by I Am What I Am, can't wait to hear these later.
It also occurred to me that Freedom and Life Is A Problem would be great tunes if done by the Mary Chain, circa Stoned & Dethroned, or in the style of Never Understood off Munki, with William on vocals.
