CONFIRMED: Zero "RSD Ambassador" vinyl in Sweden

in The Porch
The guy at the record store told me. He said he found it odd, Pearl Jam being ambassadors this year and all. No vinyl sent to Sweden at all.

Did they print to few by mistake or half of them came out warped at the plant something?

It doesn't get Eddie Vedder than this I muttered to myself and left with my CSN&Y record

    Is it really possible that one guy working at a record store knows how many records were shipped to an entire country?

    It's the biggest/most famous record store chain in Sweden.

    My store only got one copy. Was gonna grab another for ya if they had em. A few people got shut out on requests. Owner said the distributor shut him out on a lot of big name artists.

    Not sure but I don't think they are RSD ambassadors everywhere. I'm sure I read that in here in the UK it's the Mighty Boosh. Good luck in your search for the record, my local didn't get any copies either.

    Your right. They are just for the USA
    in Canada we have the Trews as ambassadors this year. I could’ve t even score their release either.

    It's the same with Denmark - 0 copies sent, and I saw the 'manifest' from the place in Holland we buy records from... So next let's make ABBA or AQUA RSD ambassadors in Scandinavia :) ... Or maybe Ah-A 
    Have fun, walk hard and stay alive.

    There’s a RSD Speedo that countries other than Sweden cannot access.

    Every country gets their special perk.

    If any Swede has picked up an extra XXXL Speedo... Scruffy wants one for PJ30.

    Ofcourse I look familiar - you moved into my old appartment back in ... 2014? - we also shot the shit once at Esbjerg trainstation. 
    And the copies at Beat were "smuggled in" by their good US friend 'Kalifornia'.

    Also, what I find odd is that there's a UK/EU 10C store for vault releases, so is it that difficult to use that pressing plant to manufacture shit for fans all over?
