very rare that hot topic does a preorder for one of their vinyl reissues. i guess theyre expecting it to be huge or do want to have an issue like with the Thrice record. or a little bit of both.
I hate when Hot Topic make exclusives. $39.50 just for shipping.
try discogs.com. i've had some luck there with the HT releases... e.g. i got the Vheissu re-issue on there from someone in the states for $30, with $9 shipping (to Canada)
I'm 90% sure this is gonna be a double LP folks! ergo the $21 price. I remember a few years back when VC was pressing their earlier albums that Virgil mentioned that he had been offered the rights to press Trainwreck. However, he said that since it was too long for a single LP he didn't think he could afford to press it (lack of demand) at the time (as a double).
