Handwritten: misc. Deluxe Editions

I don't think you can get the El jefe handwritten Tshirt unless you order it from the offical Gaslight Infinite merch store in U.S

I'd suggest ordering the record from Banquet records as the cost will be less than ordering the record from U.S

And then maybe they'll make the El Jefe Tshirt available separately after the albums comes out if they have any left that didn't sell with the bundles.

Hey guys,

I just looked on Banquet Records' site and found that they're doing the blue LPs for £15.99 (and £2 P+P).

Probably our best bet in getting a blue (or at least non-black) variant of the album, at a decent price too

Thank you! I've been waiting for something like this. Not a big fan of the El Jefe poster + shirt...

anyone see the 45 club 2 versions of the vinyl or preorder information yet?

from El Jefe's latest newsletter:

"We are proud to announce that the pre-order bundles we designed for The Gaslight Anthem are now for sale. For a low price you get a limited-edition screen printed poster, t-shirt, AND a copy of Handwritten either on CD (regular and deluxe) or Vinyl. It is a stellar price for everything you get! Keep your eyes peeled for more work with The Gaslight Anthem including their new 45 RPM Club, two "super deluxe" packages for Handwritten, several new posters, and shirt designs."

Looks like my exisiting order will need to get cancelled once the 'super deluxe' packages become available. Wish they had added them to the store all at once.

The organisation of these bundles has been pretty bad.

Looks like I'm going to have to cancel my existing Tshirt / Poster / Vinyl bundle too, to get one of these Super Deluxe bundles. I wish they'd released them all at the same time.

And release the pressing info for the vinyl variants.

So far I have ordered the blue vinyl and duluxe CD, though I may interested in a "super deluxe" package. Like everyone else, I wish they'd just release everything at once and not in stages! It's getting rather annoying!

Jeez how many bundles are there going to be?

I've taken the easy option and gone for the signed deluxe CD on play.com, especially as I don't have a turntable to play any of the LP variants!!!!

I wish they made copies of the real notebook that Brian used to write Handwritten's songs... It would be a beautiful and collector object !

I wish too. Also the notebook is nice but since I'm not in school anymore and don't have a creative bone in my body I really don't know what I could use it for.

When I asked InfinteMerch a few days go if any further bundes for handwritten or any new album merch they told me that they don't expect anything else to come...disappointed about the organisation too..

Will those only be available for members of the fanclub? (Haven't seen any real advantages for European members so far..)

Do you have an idea when these super deluxe versions are going to be released to preorder? The album comes out in less than a month so it surprises me that they still have not put up these preorders for their fan club members!

Gosh, the fan club just launched like five seconds ago, just in time for tour & ticket sales, i too am shocked, i tell you, SHOCKED that the preorders are not available for a thing that happens IN A MONTH

"Alright, something interesting. This is a print test of the cover for the "Super Deluxe" Gaslight Anthem US Book Packaging. Silver foil on blue, hard bound linen. This book, filled with Danny Clinch's photographs, a foreword by Nick "Hi-Fidelty" Hornby, and the Deluxe CD, is going to be amazing. I feel so privileged putting this together."

It's not even fun trying to keep up with all of these now.

Nick Hornby? Interesting. Anyway, so this is probably (part of) one of the super deluxe bundles.

So we've got;

- US blue vinyl variant
- normal CD
- black vinyl
- deluxe CD
- El Jefe poster/cd/t-shirt bundle
- El Jefe poster/del cd/t-shirt bundle
- UK limited edition boxed package
- Handwritten t-shirt bundle 1
- Handwritten t-shirt bundle 2
- at least one Super Deluxe bundle

correct me if I'm missing some/not right.

That's a lot!

Where's the black vinyl from?

I think I am going to keep my first El Jefe Preorder bundle and also get one of these super deluxe fan club editions just to keep around to be cool!

There's the bundle with like the stickers inside of like a chest, and then theres that new bundle with just a notebook

As the blue vinyl first press is 10,000, I don't think there will be a black one for now. Not heard of one anyway.

More of an assumption than anything I suppose, that the likes of Amazon won't be getting the blue variant and there'll just be a normal, standard black press.

And then the iTunes pre-order is up with 15 total tracks for $11.99.

As I said, at 10,000 pressed, I assume Amazon will have the blue as well.

there's this bundle for the UK:

Oh, and El Jefe has commented: "This is not a bundle option - just something cool to really be a large CD case."
