That's one hell of a variant.

Well done!

Sure you can; you just need a Chrysler:

What’s this cd thing you speak of? I heard a rumor about vinyl having a sibling that was popular and then disappeared years ago. But unlike vinyl who has resurrected its career, this cd you speak of can still be found at yard sales and thrift stores. Problem is that no one is looking for it. 

With that being said. Poorly might I add, if worst case happens I will be listening loudly to my Apple Music version until the sweet wax graces my home. Anything is better than nothing.  

being a guy with very uneducated ears an apple stream will work grand for me

Right now Amazon has my Gigaton arrival date as pending but the new Brian Fallon album also comes out Friday and is scheduled to be delivered then.  Odd that both are new releases but there’s no delay as of now for the Brian Fallon album.

Best Buy may have some LP's available

I thought Best Buy stopped selling music a few months ago, with Target not too far behind?

Just what I read, as I never go into that store myself.

Edit: I found an article that said they had a contract to sell vinyl until mid-2020, so just CDs were scrapped 2 years ago, with vinyl ending shortly.

U.S. CD sales, 2019: 46.5 million units
U.S. vinyl sales, 2019: 18.8 million units

Wow. I would have thought the opposite for sure.

Relatively few people have turntables, and LPs cost more than CDs.  Habits have changed a lot, but most people would be surprised at how much some things haven't changed, especially if they're young and urban and generally interact with lots of other similarly situated people.  Here's another example: the most streamed song in the U.S. week was streamed 41 million times ("The Box" by Roddy Ricch); the number one song at radio had an audience of 100 million ("Don't Start Now" by Dua Lipa).  The radio audience is still much larger than the streaming audience.

Local Taz Records location is shut down but their Halifax location is still running but very limited. I have an order from 10club. My girl has a order from Amazon. Doubt any vinyl copies will arrive by this Friday.

If Gigaton is available for purchase in 24Bit Flac on Friday, I'll be purchasing that digital down from either 10club or HDtracks.

Just kidding....it is a good question.  Hopefully you can get it somewhere that will ship to you so you do not need to go out and interact with others to get it.

when i first saw the title i thought the same thing. Luckily my local record store is doing phone orders, plus i know the owner so that's good

A few months ago, I decided I would purchase mine from my local shop, Tone Deaf Records in Chicago. With the shut down, I'm glad I made the decision to support a small local business. They will deliver it to me on Friday (assuming they receive it) and look forward to helping them at a time they could use it.

Running down on Friday to get mine....

Concerning Amazon orders: It seems if you pre-order Gigaton, the MP3s will be available on release date.
In the help section (searching for "AutoRip") it says: "After your order has been completed, the music from the comparable album will be added to your Amazon Music library in MP3 format."
But it also says later on: "If you purchase an AutoRip-eligible CD or vinyl record as a pre-order, the MP3 version of the music on the album will typically be added to your Amazon Music Library on release day."

Debating whether to buy this on vinyl or CD. I have every album on CD as that’s where we started off in the 90s and over the years I’ve picked up the first 6 albums reissued on vinyl. I want to keep the cd thing going but realistically I want to hear this on vinyl at home and streaming on the move.

I wish this was available for Amazon Canada.

Looking like Target at 8am with a mask. 

Shows you how quickly life can change.  I’ve had March 27th scheduled as Vacation for two months now.  The plan was for us to pick up Gigaton early.  Drive around blasting it.  Get some lunch at a nice restaurant.   Now it’s parking by the Entertainment entrance.  Running in.  Paying as fast as i can.  Hand sanitizer...Etc.

Same here. So CD's & Vinyl orders won't be shipping out from Amazon, correct? I pre ordered a few music goodies online but haven't received an email from Amazon Canada about the delay. All other non music items have been shipped out.

I have never bought a CD from Target. Do they carry the uncensored versions of CDs, or the clean versions like Walmart does?
