Brian

Pre-order? have it despatched?

I thought the whole point of Record Store Day was that you had to go into a Record Store to buy records...??

agreed

But I've preordered it all the same....

Brian

its not there anymore page has been taken down.

Yes the page has gone. I've tried doing a search under John's name but no Metamatic.

yes i done the same no joy!

I did wonder if they were supposed to be letting us pre-order record day stuff when it's usually against record store day rules.

Time will tell if they honour my order......

hope they do Brian.i will try and get my copy at Sister Ray in London on the Day .third year in a row.

It's now announced officially on the Record Store Day website

John Foxx - Metamatic
John Foxx - Metamatic Demon Records - LP + download Gatefold Edition. The individually numbered Gatefold white LP edition of John Foxx’s 1980 Synthpop opus Metamatic represents the first ever reissue of the legendary recording on vinyl – exclusively for Record Store Day 2014. Cut from a brand new 2014 master taken from original analogue tapes, the exclusive pressing on white 180-gram heavyweight vinyl is housed in a deluxe gatefold package with images, lyrics and download card for digital redemption of the audio.

Brian

I hope that everything works out well for this, after the Underpass 12" planned for RSD last year.

Metamatic on white vinyl? It's a beautiful thing...

yes seen this plus double vinyl Interplay and the shape of things including print.

Regarding the vinyl editions of Interplay and The Shape Of Things which will be available on Record Store Day. They will be the 'standard editions' - but they will be coupled with an exclusive John Foxx And The Maths print designed and signed by Jonathan Barnbrook. If you've not already purchased these albums on vinyl - then this will be the perfect opportunity to plug that gap in your collection.

Rob

And here's what the Record Store Day edition of Metamatic looks like.

The gatefold sleeve is individually numbered while the album itself is on 180 gram heavyweight white vinyl.



It's also worth saying that it's a newly remastered edition from original tapes discovered in the archive - and it sounds magnificent…

Enjoy… :-)

Rob

thanks for the info if there s no difference apart from the print ,i won,t buy thanks again,going after a lot of the other items released that day anyway, including the wrangler vinyl,

Sigh. I suppose I'll have to pay top dollar for this. I'm getting sick of limited numbered editions, and RSD released [abroad only] by my favorite artists. Thereby forcing me into gray market areas.

I understand that this particular release will also be available in various independent record stores in The States, Australia, Holland, France and Germany.

Rob

Rob,are there any outlets that we can guarantee ordering the Metamatic vinyl album from? I'm only aware of a couple of outlets in the Liverpool area particpating in the Record Store Day. It will be sod's law that they won't have any copies of Metamatic!!

The Record Store Day website includes a list of Participating Stores.
I suggest phoning the ones which are in your area to see if they anticipate receiving copies.

As for 'ordering a copy' - the point is that you tip up on the day and take your chances with everyone else.

Rob

Okay Cheers for your reply Rob. I will do just that.

Got my copy today.Got myself up at 4am ,Drove to London.got to sister ray about 6.30,got everything i wanted apart from one which i have changed my mind about now!

I managed to get a copy of Metamatic in Liverpool city centre this morning. I don't know how many were available but I got the last one in the shop!! Phew.

It's a nice package. The only disappointment is the inside cover that holds the album. The bottom has a split in it where the album has poked through. That often happened in the old days with vinyl albums!

I got a copy too here in Hamburg in my local record shop. The LP looks fantastic and it sounds great.
There were a lot of people there and I'm really happy I got one of the copies. I were there as they opened the shop - I think an half hour later there were no chance to get one.

Glad some folk managed to get theirs.

My local shop decided to open 15 minutes early and the 2 copies that he had went before I got there.

So I will have to look elsewhere.

Brian

So sorry to hear that Brian. How frustrating! I hope you can track one down.

I managed to get my Unicorn:-

918/1200




It looks and sounds bloody amazing.

Crystal clear compared to the last version.

Especially the basslines.

Brian

Great you had a chance to get one,Brian.

A wonderful thing, isn't it?

My copy is no.:205/1200

It is.

Just finished listening to it all.

Bit of a revelation for me on vinyl.

Wonderful
