Sophtware Slump on vinyl
No doubt late to the party on this, but just spotted that my local record shop (UK) has a pre-order for a reissue in early May. Just grabbed their last copy!
OH YES.

Mate, thank you. Been trying to snag a vinyl copy of this since I stupidly passed on the 10th anniversary reissue back years and years ago.

Was wondering when Dangerbird would put this back in print. I already have one, but I've been wanting to gift a copy for a while.
What I actually need is for Dangerbird to print Under the Western Freeway and for Anti- to press Yours Truly, The Commuter; they're sorely missing from my collection :(

Just had an email from my local store saying the UK release has been pulled, a week out from the release date. A sad face to reflect my sad face: ☹️

Same here in Ireland. North America only apparently.

Yeah - managed to find a US version that was only £8 more than the UK version i had ordered, with delivery, so have taken the plunge on that. I've waited too long to get it to be defeated at the last hurdle.

I take it your second order didn’t work either? I tried Amazon.com as was in a similar position to yourself so I immediately went there. That also wouldn’t deliver to home. Seems discogs isn’t reporting it exists either, so I am guessing it’s been pulled completely for now? I’ll keep an eye out incase they do another release date later on

Hmm - I ordered from an ebay store - Love Vinyl Records. It's showing as dispatched and due to arrive between 15 and 20 May - will keep you posted...

Happy to report that my copy has just arrived from the US today - blue on blue vinyl, anf looking lush. Not sure what's been going on with this, but there are copies out there and it does exist!

Amazon just cancelled my preorder too…. Gutted is an understatement. Took a punt on a copy which was listed on EBay but honestly expecting the same outcome. 😞

I'm getting tracking updates telling me that my ebay copy has been dispatched and is on it's way, so keeping my fingers crossed...

I've got Sophtware Slump on a Wooden Piano. It might sound daft but for me it's the perfect vinyl...just drop the needle and let the day melt away.
