Sold out? Seriously? I saw there was 272 copies left and after an hour i refreshed page and it was gone. I don't know what is happening but this type of management is just ridiculous. I'd say its not sold out but if the rumours of them including it for backers then thats why its not available.

I've swerved all this completely. Once the album is out if it's good I'll buy it. After the kickstarter fiasco I'll never pledge again.

Second time for me on Pledge Music, second time there's a problem. First time was with Blackalicious. Not Pledge Music fault though, they are just a tool for the artists and they don't manage the sales etc... AFAIK The missus laughed so hard at me when I told her about the possible fanzine issue (and that actually was right on point)

The missus laughed so hard at me when I told her about the possible fanzine issue (and that actually was right on point) I've not told mine. She's not a fan of Lavelle's fan exploitation and would (correctly) think I'm an idiot for sending him my money on a promise again. She likes most of the music though.

Why's everyone getting worked up about the fanzine? We all know that when (if) we see a copy we'll just go through it saying, "That's wrong. So's that. And that. That came out a different year. That's not the original artwork for that single..."

I look forward to that. Got my red pen ready!
Not too bothered about it, but it'll be a nice touch if they do give it away to fans. Either way, they've misnamed it. It's not a fanzine if it's official!

Got new response from Pledge:
Hi there, Apologies for the delay here. I have been advised that the fanzine will be 30+ pages of printed doodles from the band along with lyrics and photos from the recording studio. Hope this helps! Kind Regards, PledgeMusic

Sounds interesting, but not worth £20.

I got another variation reply...
"Apologies for the wait here. The fanzine will be a 34 pages magazine with images from the recording studio and printed lryics/doodles from the band. I know that this exclusive is currently off store at the moment but everything on the campaign is being discussed today so it may return. Kind Regards"

Of course there isn't much money to be made these days by simply releasing music, I understand that.
But doing a Pledge Music campaign despite the Kickstarter debacle is kind of taking the piss a bit.

I agree. Though apparently not quite the same thing as a Kickstarter, it similar enough to look like a piss-take. It bloody worked though, the coloured vinyl sold out pretty quickly. Thanks to the sucker fans. Like me.

But not me because I screwed up my order. So if anyone got doubles I call dibs if you're selling

So still no official word about the gift status of the fanzine? I'll have to send my email too...

I don't think anyone was questioning it's existence, were they?
Amazing that JL and PledgeMusic have totally different ideas for the price and distribution though.
