Ordered, and already feel like a mug :-)
£14 (more than i paid for the 2xCD) for whats likely to be an 8-page A5 booklet I look at once and gets dusty on a bookshelf.
Hope im plesantly surprised. But if this is a booklet of the old images he found from the Kickstarter update vid (thus should be included with that after all the delays) ill be spitting feathers.

If you look at the first opened page looks like there's a signatures, so maybe it's signed by all who was involded making an album.

Also spotted this in the confirmation email:
"UNKLE has pledged to fulfill all exclusives by 28 July, 2017 unless otherwise stated."
So I wouldnt go holding my breath it'll arrive even near the album.
REALLY hoping this is a nice little touch. God, I need to be less cynical dont I!

Fuck sake. I'm not buying anything without decent pictures. This is exactly the sort of thing that should have been posted out to Kickstarter supporters or bundled in with the £40 vinyl edition. Scans please kocomputer! James keeps saying this record is a solo record, but we know Matthew Puffett is heavily involved. Why is he not being mentioned? Weird isn't it? A complete dick-move in my opinion. Rather insulting (to the multitude of people who helped make the record) and totally unnecessary.

Yeah if something like that had dropped through the door in Dec as an Xmas present from JL we'd all have gone mental with praise (tho i have moved twice since my T-shirt delivery)
Id started writing that it should have been in with deluxe vinyl and CD bundles - even if it pushed the prices up... then realised you can order both so its a mute-point.
Im sure scans will surface somewhere when its published :-)

I imagine not crediting Puffett etc as a full member of Unkle is a legal issue.
My basic music-law reference from Uni was that recordings (not publishing) are owned by the person who comissioned the piece/session, not by any performer (even if they wrote the music). No idea what arrangements have been put in place for this UNKLE incarnation (& frankly thats personal to those involved), but after so many acrimonious splits in the past, youd imagine JL would now be v.careful on that kinda stuff.
Ie it might not be a lack of respect, it might be a deliberate attempt to cover himself from repeating old problems.

£10 for what exactly... a magazine. I will need a bit more convincing I think!

I imagine not crediting Puffett etc as a full member of Unkle is a legal issue. This is an interesting point. If James wants to think of the Unkle group as just being him alone now, that's fine. But mentioning Puffett as producer in interviews would be a more honest and nice thing to do. Especially as he'll be credited on the album anyway. Just seems rude and egotistical to me. £10 for what exactly... a magazine. Indeed. I wouldn't even mind that if they provided more information and pictures. Not falling for it this time.

At the moment I have only ordered the £35 Vinyl because I am convinced there will other formats/deals to follow... if not ill go for the 2xCD later.

I'd like to thank everyone who ordered the limited vinyl for removing temptation from my sight and allowing me to happily buy the 2cd set. If you could all snatch up the little pamphlet, that'll save me another 10 quid that I can spend on other music.

Fanzine disappeared from UNKLE store. Maybe they're updating info about it.

Anyone else seen the sponsored posts from Unkle on Facebook?
First it was "curator and tastemaker James Lavelle..."
Now it's "curator and trailblazing musician..."
Guessing it was some marketing agency, but I like to think he wrote them himself (I would).
Edit: sorry, it's "trailblazing artist", not musician.

Looks like that FANZINE is a bonus for those who make a pledge. Attachments:

I don't know what's more amazing, a freebie for fans, or the fact that you got a reply from James's account!
Still, really cool news, thanks.
