Two ignorant questions from a vinyl snob

[angrymice]

Hello, i was just wondering first of all what was up with the tomlab release of Knife Play? Is it legitimate? where is it available? is the vinyl version out of print? secondly i was wondering if Fabulous Muscles would be available on vinyl and if so when, will it be a similiarly limited release?

The vinyl from Tomlab is legit, though I don't know where you can get it and am far too lazy to look.

As for the new album, I believe the vinyl is going to be on Free Porcupine Society and will be limited, and in nice hand-made packaging like all of their shit is.

you can get the knife play tomlab lp on their website www.tomlab.de if you can't order it there i guess it means that it's sold out

I have the "Knife Play" LP that Tomlab put out and its sounds awesome. It is pressed on 180 gram vinyl. I just checked their website and it looks like it is already sold out. Sorry! You could probably find it at some independent record stores though.

I've actually devoted a lot of time to finding out about the Tomlab vinyl releases. The Knife Play lp has been available from the tomlab site for at least a month now. But there you would have to pay $15 plus overseas shipping (if you live in the US like I do).
I haven't been able to find it from any vendors, and I think I know why. The amazon.co.uk site lists it as having a february release date, and so does the Insound release date page. So, it seems like its official release hasn't happened yet. I'm guessing it will be more widely available in the coming month (i.e. available at US shops).
And I think the tomlab vinyl issue of Fabulous Muscles is listed for a release date a week after the Knife Play one.

here we go (from insound site):
02/10 XIU XIU - knife play lp (tomlab)
02/17 XIU XIU - fabulous muscles (5rc)
