"SWID was released today in the UK... I was in London and the Piccadilly Circus HMV store had plenty of copies (I saw about 30 copies scattered around the store). Cheap too, at £1.99."
(Thanks Simon)
And for the US, "Friend of COF" says that FYE should have the single in stores tomorrow. Best Buy, Borders, Newbury Comics and Virgin also bought copies, but is not 100% sure if they will have them tomorrow. So check with FYE first.
(Thanks Friend of COF)
Updates: "For anyone in Virginia, the record store Plan 9 got copies in today. " (Thanks believer-ko)
"Earshot in Greenville, SC has it!!!" (Thanks Caterpillargirl2)
"Singles available in Southern California @ Mad Platter (Riverside) and Rhino Records (Montclair, or is it Clairmont). Sorry, but no 7" Vinyl singles." (Thanks Haloburn)

je suis le seule ici? juste pour dire que iTunes québec et canada n'ont pas encore autoriser les chansons pour le moment !!!!
ReplyDeleteWell that's great for teh UK fans!!! However I doubt that in the states the CD will be in the stores when SWID goes on sale tomorrow. But hey I might just try the store for the hell of it since I haven't ordered mine on-line yet.
ReplyDeleteEven if they don't have it, it will get me out of the office for a hour! I hate my job!!! LOL!!!
Hi Eric,
ReplyDeleteWhat do you mean "le seul ici"? Le seul Québécois? Non. Le seul être humain? Hopefully not! ;o)
It'll be tomorrow for iTunes. New releases are always available on Tuesdays...
CK: I'm checking with "Friend of COF" right now, to check on cd availability in the US tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteLOL, that was nice of Simon to email you! Friend of CoF indeed ;)
ReplyDeleteYou'd think after all these years Simon and Robert would be a little closer. LOL, I crack myself up.....yes, I know, only me.
Thanks craig!
ReplyDeleteI didn't want to order it on-line yet because I'll be away for a few days & I hate to get packages while I'm away. Some of the kids in my neighborhood steal packages from people's mail boxes when they are not at home for a few days! Rotten creeps! Sorry for the rant! If it's in the stores this week, then I might as well pick it up there!
After the Only One fiasco, Universal did a much better job with Freakshow. Fans were actually able to buy it in stores on the release date.
ReplyDeleteI know FYE had a good supply with the last one, so you might want to check there, if you have one in your area.
Well, here so far in Canada they haven't been able to put their shit together (universal to blame or the store themselves, don't know...) It's still very hard to find.
ReplyDeleteNot out in Canada and the US until tomorrow.
ReplyDeletemerci beaucoup fantac! bon journée !
ReplyDeleteThanks craig! There is an FYI at the local mall near me so I'll try to stop by at lunch or after work tomorrow. However for the last two singles I didn't have much luck at the store so that's why I got the CD's on-line but still no harm in checking them out before I do the on-line thing. Maybe FYI will have it.
ReplyDeleteCK: I don't know what FYI is. FYE bought a bunch, but I guess not every store carried it.
ReplyDeleteThe single does not seem to be listed on iTunes. Am I doing something wrong? How can I purchase it online? I know my local stores won't have it :(
ReplyDeleteSingled: Where are you? If US or Canada, the single isn't out until tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteYay, Zulu finally have their act together, they will have SWID before the week is out. :^D So anyone in Vancouver, Zulu Records on 4th.
ReplyDeleteWhat I meant earlier was that in Montréal, 3 weeks after the release date for Freakshow had pass, they still didn't have the single, forcing me to order it online.
ReplyDeleteBut they had 3 new copies of The Only One!
Oops I meant FYE craig! I fat finger everything!!!! LOL!!!
ReplyDeleteCK: Oh, ok, thought FYI was a different store. : )
ReplyDeleteYeah, Hynreck, I had the same experience in Vancouver with Freakshow... now it sounds as if I will have it in a few days. I hope you have the same good fortune. :^D
ReplyDeleteI just called the FYE store that's near me. The guy I talked to said that the store will have a few copies tomorrow but to come in early since the last time they sold out ASAP for Freakshow. I asked if he could hold me a copy but he can’t since he said they sell out fast & it's not fair to the people who actually who come in early to buy. Like I didn't think King of Prussia, PA had that many Cure fans! Well whatever dude, my old record store used to do that. Oh well I'll have to take a very early lunch I guess!
ReplyDeleteWell I've order Freakshow with SWID and they've been dispatch yesterday, so my CALVAIRE is at an end. (I ordered other stuff too to make it worth it)
ReplyDeleteCK: You shouldn't have told everyone, now they'll really be gone early. : )
ReplyDeletecraig---I know I just realized that! LOL!
ReplyDeleteI pre-ordered the single on the 9th from Amazon and it came today. I'm in southern California.
ReplyDeleteGood news for you tyler! How many times have you listened to it so far? I never get stuff in early when I pre-order, it's always late but then I live in PA! Land of slow mail service!!! LOL!
ReplyDeleteI've probably listened to it a dozen times. Sleep When I'm Dead wasn't a song that blew me away live, so I'm glad and somewhat surprised that I really like the new single.
ReplyDeleteGotta love Amazon & USPS.
for anyone in virginia, the record store Plan 9 got copies in today. i'm going to get mine, now!
ReplyDeleteOur first shipment of the US CD, European CD and 7" arrives tomorrow (July 15th)
ReplyDeleteno problem, craig. : )
ReplyDeleteSo what is FYE? Is that a music store chain or something? I never heard of them. But then again, we're surrounded by cornfields where I live. We finally got indoor plumbing a few weeks ago...Its kinda cool.
ReplyDeleteDA---FYE (For Your Entertainment) is a chain store that sells CD'S & DVD's too. They are mainly located in the eastern parts of the US and in CA with scattered locations in the rest of the country. Not my favorite place to buy stuff and they are certainly not he cheapest. But they can have a better selection than other chains.
ReplyDeleteCraig, I'm in NY... Thanks... I'll look tomorrow!
ReplyDeleteBoth tracks are up on the US iTunes Store now...

I bought mine yesterday at HMV Islington
ReplyDeleteSingles available in Southern California @ Mad Platter (Riverside) and Rhino Records (Montclair, or is it Clairmont). Price is $1.99. They have the singles avialble on Mondays. No need to wait until Tuesday. Will have the fourth single as well. Sorry, but no 7" Vinyl singles.
ReplyDeletesorry for the plug here, but twist & shout in denver is usually as on top of this stuff as "the mighty U" allows them to be. they do mailorder too. www.twistandshout.com
ReplyDelete(yes i work there. yes i love the cure. and yes, i get sick of hearing that people don't buy physical product anymore....the decay of cds hasn't happened just yet, folks)
:-)
I pre-ordered my copy through Amazon.com since no retailers around here have a clue.
ReplyDeleteI only received it today, though, since I was out of town. I picked up all my mail, and there it was! What a great way to end a vacation and lessen the post-vacay blues. Delicious!
