I think my typos are getting worse.

Heard both of these played out by Erol on new years day this year in Sydney. He thrashed out both for a long period in the set. He broke apart the "pleasure" track. That "again" vocal bit was tripped out and stripped down with all kinds of freakness added to it to get the crowd interacting. Was very cool! My friend that was with me said "this is madness!" to which i replied "this is ACID!"

Going to see Erol Alkan next month (2manydj's gig this friday sold out) so I hope to hear these tracks in a club. Pre-ordered the vinyl for the collection, the tracks are cool but I can't see me listening to them a lot at home.

<div><br></div><div>edit: better yet: Tom &amp; Ed please come djing in Holland some day. Love to hear you spin these tracks. Or do I have to keep coming to London?</div>

Did anyone who pre-ordered it get given a release date? Erol Alkan said on his show that the record is going to be released "as early as next week". And it's on his label. But Phonica, the only decent dance record shop left in London (which I believe Erol frequents) have got "pre order in May" on their page for this here. So now I'm confused.

No release date, just this:-
Phantasy Shop Order #ZVKS-010399
Thank you Chris,
your order has been received.
Tow Rowlands "EP1" LTD 12" Vinyl

£8.00

ok thanks.
Looks like the postage will be more than the record for you.
I'm going to try to walk into Phonica and buy it when it's out. Even in the UK Phantasy are charging £6 postage which is a lot.

Has anyone received his/hers copy yet? I'd like to see a picture of that cover.

On soundcloud the release date says 22/5/2013. I asume it's the digital release date

Probably 4/20 for record day

I'll be on the lookout for it at phonica tmmrw. I'm trying to figure out when 2manydj's are playing their set there as well.

Well it no longer says "pre order" on my link above. Now it says "buy".
Incidentally Tom getting played at 8pm tonight on BBC Radio 1 in case you didn't see my post on BBC thread.

Found it at Rough Trade West this afternoon along with the Pulp X Soulwax RSD release. I asked at Phonica, BM Soho, and the Music Exchanges but no one had any idea about it. As soon as I walked in with my mate, around 2:45 or so, I saw it on the opposite pointed straight at it and said 'THERE! THERE! THERE! THERE!'. A few people looked at me funny. Took it off the wall, waited in the mass of people at the counter, asked about the Pulp X Soulwax when I got up there, and found out that they had many a copy of both behind. Walked out with a HUGEEEEEEEE smile on my face and did my crazy chemical jump that hasn't come out since seeing 'Don't Think' in the cinema back home.

And to top it all off.....IT HAS THE SECRET ETCHINGS! both sides have 'energy cannot be destroyed'. Even solo, the secret continues.

You can also see that I got the Ariel 'rollercoaster/mustn't grumble' 12" and the Super Collider (Jamie Lidell/Cristian Vogel) album from 1999. Good haul today.

I went a bit mad at Record Store day yesterday. I ended up in both Rough Trade East and West (plus Flashback in Islington and Phonica). Ryno you were lucky you went to 'West' rather than 'East' at that time of day. Pulp had sold out loong before midday in 'East'. Fortunately my mate got me the Pulp one early in the day, but the payback was that I had to trek out to 'West' to get him a copy of Pink Floyd's 7" reissue of See Emily Play. That's £15.99 for a 7". Mind you, these rare 7" RSD releases (more so even than 12"s) can get huge re-sale prices.
The one that really made my jaw drop was a double 7" by new band The Strypes (a bunch of 15 and 14 year olds). It was selling for £14 in Rough Trade East (amazing in itself), but on Discogs it now has two listings for £69.99 and £79.99, HERE. Holy shit!

The Strypes played live at 'East' at 4.30 yesterday but I missed them as I was over in Berwick Street by then (Selectadisc) where there were other bands playing on the street stage as part of the day. Wire were the headliners around 6pm. A post punk group from the early 80's who made more interesting music as their career moved further away from punk, so it was nice to see them for the first time. When they were finished we wandered across to Phonica as 2manydj's were meant to be finishing off proceedings there, but it was just so crowded that trying to get inside really didn't appeal. It would have been really nice to get the Soulwax boys to sign their Pulp remix...

My Purchases:
Through Me - Tom Rowlands 12" (not strictly a RSD release but definitely released yesterday). Mmm touch it! I see that Kathy Acker gets a co-write credit on the label for "...Pleasure". I didn't realise that it's actually the author reading her own book, but maybe everyone else did.
After You - Pulp x Soulwax.
I Want You / City Slang - Primal Scream
The xx - Jamie xx Edits
Rolling Stones Five by Five ep That was £8.99 for a 7". I didn't realise the price til I went to pay for it. Might be a nice investment if I don't play it though.
Various - Factory records sampler another one where I'm not sure whether to keep it or sell it. The music isn't rare but its a limited run 10". And as a big New Order /Joy Division fan myself, I know how obsessive those fans can be. The resale prices on Discogs are are already listed around the £30 mark.

Enough of the madness back to reality...

so the vinyl is out?

can it be got digitally anywhere?
I really wanna listen to the full length tracks!

Amazon.de says May 13th for the digital release.

Im more excited for this than Daft Punk's latest single. There I said it. Come at me!(Still excited for the Daft Punks album of course, but Tom's EP grants instant satisfaction from both tracks and I haven't heard them in full even)

Loving the Artwork for it too. Looks like a painting.

This!

Looks like someone from the forum with the words An and Type in their moniker has added this to Discogs now. He has put the release date as 22nd April. Well I definitely got mine on the 20th. Did I get it before its official release date? Also I notice that someone (not me) is selling the 12" on ebay (Mint) for £7.75 + £1.99 postage. So both the price of the record and the postage are cheaper than what Phantasy are charging. More than ten available. That might be of interest to one or two people here... http://www.ebay.co.u...=item2a2bef591f

It's Juno Records of Juno download fame.
