Meursault: Flittin’ Single Available, Album Pre-orders Up Too
Well it seems we’ve been talking about the Meursault album for long enough, eh, so it’s probably well and truly time I tried to capitalise on all this drooling anticipation and actually made an attempt to part you from your cash in exchange for records. It is, after all, what we do here, not to seem to tawdry and commercial about it all.
There are several ways I am hoping to deprive you of your money, in this particular instance:
1. Album launch: This is at the Queen’s Hall next Saturday, a fact of which you are probably well aware by now. Tickets are here and pre-purchasing is recommended, if only for the good of my bloody pressure, because the more who buy in advance the more likely I can just enjoy the gig on the day instead of fretting about filling the place with walk-ups.
2. Buy the single: The new single, as anyone who listens to 6Music will probably know by now (thanks Rocket PR!), is out in a week or so. I’m not entirely sure when. Whatever, if you buy one from the site now I will send it immediately. And it looks gorgeous too – see the utterly unnecessarily hipsterified image at the top of the page.
3.Pre-order the album: The new album is a different beast to previous Meursault stuff, being both much more lush, and recorded in a far cleaner style. You never know how people will take change of course, but I’ve yet to hear a bad word said about it so far from press people, so with a bit of luck you’ll love it as well. Pre-order one here, either on CD or vinyl.
4. Actually, fuck it, why not order the full box set instead! Yes, that’s right, we are making super-deluxe, amazingly awesome box sets too, with a copy of the album and both singles on vinyl, a t-shirt, tote bag, CD of demos, lyrics book and a couple of badges all thrown in for good measure. There will only be 100 though, so act sharpish if you fancy one.
I am sure there will be other ways of robbing your hard-earned cash which will occur to me over the next few weeks, but I’ll let you know as and when they come up. Let’s face it, if the worst comes to the worst I could always ask David Cameron for some suggestions I suppose. Although even record labels have the sense to try and fleece middle class people with plenty of disposable income rather than pillaging pensioners’ piggy banks. But then we’re not all dicks, unlike the Tories.
Well there goes my vinyl budget for the month. :-p
Who makes the tee-shirts? Was wondering if should get large or extra large.
Not entirely sure – does this help:

Och I’ll play it safe.
Box set ordered. Well done on timing it for my payday!
I take it there’ll be a download code included with the vinyl?
Yep. And we’ve upgraded to Dropcards too, so it’ll be a fancy download code thingy!
[...] Das hört auf den Namen “Something For The Weakened” und soll bald erscheinen. Bei Song by Toad könnt ihr es auch schon vorbestellen. Dort heißt es dazu: “The new album is a different [...]
Oh, that box set looks unbelievable. Maybe just a stretch beyond my budget though
well this looks exciting!
is the box set vinyl different from the ‘normal’ vinyl?
The vinyl in the box-set will be clear golden yellow. There will be a few of these left to be sold at gigs separately, but not many.
What do the Ts look like? Will they be available outwith this awesome box set, the expense of which I can’t quite justify?
Just buy one you cheap cunt.
“Just buy one you cheap cunt.”
You sir are a bully. And a cunt!
This is unreal, what an amazing thing. Any idea when they should be arriving on doorsteps? (I am moving shortly and will need to make sure i put the correct address…)
Single orders will go out this week, and album pre-orders probably in the week after the album launch.
So the album won’t be available to buy at the album launch?
They will, but possibly only on CD, sadly. I am applying as much pressure to our manufacturers as I can to get the vinyl there, but they are struggling at the moment.
I just ordered the box set but didn’t see anywhere to say what size T-shirt I want. Could I be sent a large, please?
I just spotted the very easy to see drop down menu where you can choose t-shirt size! Pretty sure that means you received a request for small from me. No worries if it causes problems, the Mrs will be pleased with a nice t-shirt…
