My order from Interpunk was waiting for me when I got home from work and I listened to it right away. 45 sounds amazing on vinyl, of course, and I absolutely love their cover of You Got Lucky! It's true to the original, but has a distinct Gaslight quality that just makes it so cool. I think Tom would be very proud!

does it come with an MP3 download for 45? I was hoping...but not many bands do that from my experience!

mine didn't! i already bought it on iTunes though.

Mine didn't either. I was hoping it would so I could get You Got Lucky on my iPod, but I'll just have to wait for the album to come out.

AAW, I wanted to order it yesterday on amazon.de and I forgot and now it's apparently sold out. Bummer.

It is, thank you! Almost 20€ for a 7" is pretty expensive though.

No worries
Ouch, that is quite pricey! I'm not sure of anywhere else that still has it in stock, I'm afraid!

I thought it was so good too!! I got it in the mail, and needless to say, I was pretty excited. I would have to agree Shannon, it would probably make Tom proud to hear them covering it.

...the only downside is the vinyl wasn't colored. But, oh well. It sounds like the album will have color variants.

"You Got Lucky" has a similar theme to "Bring It On", at least to me. Brian's always singing to the girl he thinks is gonna leave him for another man...

haha So true Steph!

Just got my 7 inch in the mail. Loving "You Got Lucky". Anybody know what's the best program to rip music from a record player? My player has a usb and aux.

I'll not cancel my Banquet order, if anyone needs a spare copy, I'll do it for £5.99 (my cost + postage from Banquet) + my postage to you, which I PROMISE, won't work out to over 20 euros...

I picked mine up this afternoon. Was a little disappointed that they put such a thin sleeve on it - but then again they are going for the whole "retro" thing.

I liked the version of You Got Lucky - but it definitely was a "cover" and not a reinterpretation. Good thing, Bad thing? I'm not sure yet...

I was a little disappointed with the quality of the sleeve too. I was expecting something like the Ladykiller or She Loves You sleeve, a thicker card stock. This one won't hold up as well, I'm afraid. But I'm not really complaining, I'm just happy to have the record!

That's crazy! I wonder why they don't have it in stock when other places do. Plus they were more expensive than Interpunk and ShopRadioCast. Amazon is going downhill!

I hope you get your 45 of "45" soon, Bobby!

That seems to be happening alot with Amazon now, the most recent I can think of, is the PJ20 vinyl soundtrack, such a mess in regards to that album, but Amazon didn't help with their taking of orders, then not been able to fulfil them orders. They also started re-taking orders a few weeks ago, when they had no stock anyway, and thus had to cancel the orders again.

That's good! Did you find it at Vintage Vinyl (vvinyl.com)? I have ordered from them before and was really happy.

Great--yep; that's the one

Also gonna check with the one indy store in NE Florida--Music Matters in St Augustine on my way to the Lucero show tonight

Has anybody who ordered from ShopRadioCast gotten theirs yet? I'm hoping my copy comes today! I'm so excited to hear You Got Lucky after hearing what all you guys think of it!

Shopcastradio got an extra 200 copies in, probably worth a shout there, if you can put up with the shittiness of their service.

I didn't order from ShopRadioCast this time, but I have in the past and unless you pay extra for priority mail, you will probably be waiting a while. I think it usually takes 2-3 weeks for me to get an order from them. But it will be worth the wait because 45 sounds awesome and their cover of You Got Lucky is fantastic! I'm sure you're going to love it.

I stopped in Vintage Vinyl on my lunch break and they must have 20-30 copies of '45' for $4.99.

And this is factoring in that they've had this in stock for a few days now and i saw 2 people walking around the store with a copy in their hand.

I bought some other stuff but probably should have bought another copy of this just for backup purposes.

i thought maybe i was the only one that noticed that...or that maybe i just hadn't purchased a 7" in a long time and that's how they were...

doesn't really matter, but i did notice it!

Definitely order from them. That's the store nearest me and where I got my copy yesterday. They're great people and deserve the business!

I wonder if it was by design, trying to make the disc look more like an old-school 45 with the big hole in the middle and the thin paper sleeve, or if Mercury cut corners because they put this out as a favor to the band.

This.

Ordered from them before, and as an overseas shopper, was more than happy with their service and communication.

I was thinking about this earlier...in regards to wondering what sort of deal and contract they had, in regards to vinyl distribution. I know vinyl sales are up and all, just a lot of companies still don't worry about making a big deal about them. Would be an interesting question to ask the guys some time.

Although judging my El Jefe's comments tonight, we might be getting something cool for the album package.
