i just got off the phone with a record store here in maryland who usually gets in lots of promo copies and then re-sells them.... i was obviously asking about 'the rising tide', and while they didn't have it, the guy i talked to said that he was in new york last week and saw a vinyl promo copy of the album, still sealed with what i'd imagine to be full artwork, etc. he also mentioned that he thinks sub pop is doing the vinyl for 'the rising tide'. anyone know anything about this? and also, on the subject of people who have promo copies making them available to the rest of us... i also agree that someone with a promo copy should let us all hear it. it's not like we're all going to get the mp3's, make cd-r's, and then never buy the release when it comes out. i can almost guarantee that all of us would still buy the cd (or lp in my case) when it comes out, because we'll still want to have the finished product with full artwork, lyrics, etc. so you are'nt taking money away from the label by doing so. there. that's my statement :) cheers, jordan.
