Shit, that USB is pretty badass. Isn't this really taking the piss now though? Why weren't all the different formats released at the same time?

Pretty lame if they're doing it to maximize profit through postage charges. I cant imagine this is the case. Too much forward thinking. Unless they're all so disorganized they didn't plan it at all? This is my guess. I also think they 'extras' are coming from sources that make prepackaged promotional material. There are companies out there that specialize in making USB album sticks, fridge magnets, coasters, beer koozies, oven mitts, etc. IMO They are just taking the easy way out by going this route, rather than producing something truly unique.

A pointman koozie would be great!

This is why they can't combine orders
"Unfortunately here at Pledge Music, we do not ship any items ourselves. Every placed order and pledge number gets sent to the chosen fulfillment partner on the project. For this reason, I am unable to merge the orders."

Definitely feeling a 'rinse the hardcore' vibe going on. Potentially an UNKLE fan will buy 3 - 5 versions of The Road pt 1 between vinyl variations, cd......even tape! Then if the Road does indeed turn out to be 30 tracks of recording sessions split into 3 parts, a hardcore fan could in theory be looking at anywhere between 9 - 15 purchases of effectively one album!! Sneaky JL 😲💵👏 Add USB versions of the album to that 😂💰

Has James never heard of bundling? Put the signed vinyl, 2cd set, tape and usb in one package. I'm waiting for a t-shirt and poster possibly a tea cozy.

Almost bought this. A really nice package. But I gave myself a slap and told myself I don't need it.
I'd be interested in a copy of the files though. I wonder what the Doug Foster stuff is? Video files maybe?

I think JL learnt something from the kickstarter campaign, he'll just keep releasing new formats whilst people keeping buying them and never have to fulfil a single order

I wonder how far he could push this shit before people stopped handing him their cash. Another couple of albums (15 versions each). Then the money flow might slow down a bit.

Just a heads up to anyone else who ordered the Fanzine in the brief time it was available on Pledgemusic. I ordered the USB pack when it went up, and asked if they'd cancel my original Fanzine order. Seemed to make more sense to buy a £20 USB copy of the album and get the fanzine thrown in, rather than just the fanzine for £10.
If others want to take the same route, suggest you email them.
"Hi, I have confirmed with the artist team that this includes the same fanzine as your original order, I have therefore cancelled the original order. The money will go back into your account in 4-5 working days. Kind Regards, PledgeMusic"

Just over two weeks before the album lands - hope it has been worth the wait..
Are we expecting to get any of the pledge stuff arrive for that date?

Not going to buy the implant as I sold my brain years ago to fund my UNKLE addiction... the other three are in my basket - I hope I get charged individual shipping for each format 😙
