Thanks for sharing the pics schizoeclectic! So wonderful! Ahh I hope the vinyl sees a US release! I refuse to pay what Sandbag wants considering how shitty their service is. I will however settle for a nice CD US release though, but I really rather have the vinyl. Especially if it's going to have one black LP and one white LP! Welllll at least US iTunes has it now.

^You're welcome! It took me half the night to figure out how to extract the images from pdf but was worth it in the end. Yes it is awfully expensive. I was just thinking there I'm surprised they didn't offer a Vinyl/CD Bundle at a reduced price like with 'Lupercalia' ... or even include the T-Shirt too...grr ... I have this strange feeling that the CD will be digipack (full cardboard). I just get that impression, the artwork would really suit digipack...not like 'The Bachelor' fan edition but more like 'Lungs' by 'Florence + the Machine' So I just spotted this in the product information for the CD ''Double CD, Softpack with Poster Inserts'' Softpack!! AKA Digipack, Hooray!! And Posters too Eeekk.. How did I never notice that before

^oh but with sendback you never know! maybe they offer a bundle a week before the release, just to annoy the stuffing out of us as for the eps - if patrick is not uploading their content somewhere (i'd happily pay for it obvsly) then i hope at least the fans will at some point - so everyone can hear those gems

Tut! Quite possible. There is another online store out there that in my opinion is much worse than 'Sendback' and that is 'MyPlay Direct' they're abysmal... Oh yes that would be lovely!! Here's hoping!

I said this already on the other thread but OH MY GOD I NEED THOSE EPs!!!!!!!!! I'm a bit confused about what's happening with them - i think there's different ones for different shows but are they all going to have completely different tracklists? (that would be like over a hundred songs!) Or are there they all going to be random mixtures of tracks or are there just going to be a few EPs in the series, which he rotates for the shows? I know this is really greedy but i need every one of those songs - i wish i could buy every EP somehow. (Also, they'd better be available for the UK shows too!) Anyway i also managed to buy Sundark and Riverlight from US itunes (with the help of some very nice wolfies ) and it is just beautiful beyond words <3 It actually feels as if Patrick is there playing all the songs live! When i listened to it for the first time every song just mad me go WOW, i felt like i did at the Palladium show!!! (Some of you might have seen my crazy tweeting spree ) It is undoubtedly the most beautiful album in the world and i could happily listen to it forever and ever and ever ;D I can't wait for my CD and fanzine, and there are posters too?!!! (I think i probably read that somewhere before but didn't take it in )

^yeah well, sendback store says the cd is with poster holders. knowing sendback they could just be talking about the cardbord opening for the booklet. but you know, let's be hopeful i don't understand the handling with the EPs either, i hope it'll be clearer within the next few shows and our american and canadian wolfies share the infos with us

So i finally own the physical edition of the 'Sundark and Riverlight' CD. It was released here in Ireland today (Friday) If you want to avoid spoilers with regards the packaging and inserts etc look away now but if not here it all is for your pleasure! 1) It IS digipack aka cardboard and it the discs slot in either side, it opens up then like a mini gatefold vinyl 2) The individual paper booklets open up to reveal lyrics on one side and a big image (poster) of Patrick on the other side. I for one could never them up as a poster just cause of the lyrics etc, maybe if I ever bought a second edition 3) It smells amazing, that new card smell haha My only minor criticism would be that there's not really any part of the cd that you can put the discs into as in when you unfold the paper booklets the disc is just floating around inside. But the artwork is gorgeous as is the music. So happy I can't wait for the vinyl!

When I first checked Amazon for the vinyl it was listed but said 'currently not available' so I figured that as it was a limited run they were not going to get any new and would only have it once people started reselling.
However, on a whim I just had another look and there it is, in all its glory for £11.99 - so I have ordered both the vinyl and CD from Amazon at a total cost of £20.99 as opposed to the £39.60 it would have cost via Sendback. It really is beyond me why Patrick (and other artists) continue to use a company that rips off the fans so much AND provides such poor service.
So the Amazon ones don't come with the fanzine but (as I've said before, I'm not that bothered about having it anyway) I'm afraid that it's still no contest because I'm simply not prepared to have the piss taken out of me.
I'd far rather put that twenty quid towards going to see Patrick live!

I agree it's way too much on Sandbag. I hate how all fanclub/artist stores way overcharge for shipping. The vinyl is $35.86 (£22.30) on Amazon in the US which is still a little more than the base cost for the LP on the Sandbag site. (Before the nightmare shipping cost). I almost didn't buy it, but gave in when it showed the fanzine would be 28 pages. IDK why that just made it more appealing to me. Amazon U.S. still says temporarily out of stock.

Sure, it would be nice to have the fanzine but as it's supposed to be free yet would, in real terms, cost almost £20 (the difference between buying the CD & vinyl from Sendback vs Amazon) I simply don't want it enough to pay that much for it!

The price difference is ridiculous for the vinyl (over £10 extra with postage!)... but if you buy the CD from sendback to get the fanzine and the vinyl from amazon it's less than £3.50 extra including postage (in the UK)

Yay! My copy of S&R was shipped today.... now I'll be waiting (im)patiently for it to arrive. I wonder if it would be okay to give the digital download to a friend since I've already bought it on iTunes?

Hi all, I just got my copy of the Sundark and Riverlight vinyl which is beautiful but there doesn't seem to be a download code with it. Can anyone help? Thanks loads, Tim.

^ Generally the download code should have been included in your confirmation e-mail or in the invoice. Any time it says download code that is usually where it is, not only with Patrick.

Thanks Schizoelectric! I actually got my album from Amazon but the info on Patrick's site said that the Amazon release would still include the code...
