Title: TWGMTR Vinyl 45 rpm Single for Pre-Order on Amazon U.S.
Post by: SloopJohnnyB on June 12, 2012, 02:54:24 PM
Just noticed that Amazon has a listing for a vinyl 45 single of TWGMTR. Cool! Release date July 3, 2012.

Don't know if this was mentioned in another thread. I didn't see it as a topic here on the board. Maybe it's been out there for a while.

Flip side, anyone?

Let's make it a #1 vinyl 45!

Amazon states that the flipside is "2. That's Why God Made The Radio (Instrumental) "

I noticed that too. That should be interesting. An "a capella" mix would seemingly make more sense, but what do I know? The BB's are barely on the backing track.

Very cool! Can't wait to get my hands on all this great wax! B-Side is kinda lame tho...

It is! Although Waves of Love isn't that good it must have hurt Al a bit not to have it on the album so putting it as the b-side on this would've been a nice gesture I think and that way his song still gets out there.

It is great that we can still buy 45's in 2012.

I bet I wasn't the only one here to buy a Beach Boys 78 in 2011 too :)

That blasted 78 is the only reason I went a bought a new three-speed turntable and it's still the only 78 I have :o Plus all the stuff on there is widely available elsewhere so it's not like I was missing out by not being able to play it. Sigh.

Snap!  Only I haven't had time to put mine together yet… so the 10"s're still sealed.

I already got the 7" a week and a half ago, to my surprise my local record store had it.

$12 for these things?

$12....and only available as an import from the USA...so would end up costing a lot for me.

THat's why I haven't bought one - though of course I pre-ordered my vinyl LP.

When Brian released Wonderful as a 45RPM-only single in 2004 it reached #29 in the UK charts and cost just £1.99 each. Ergo I bought all three different colours. Good Vibrations was also just £1.99 and I don't think the Christmas 45 cost any more in 2005.

The last 45 I bought was 'Midnights Another Day' which was something like £8 including post from the US of A.

Do you mean the sleeve that rests inside the outer sleeve? No. It's just plain white.

I've ordered mine through a seller via Amazon uk as Amazon uk itself doesn't seem to be handling the 7". Would also like the CD single which I think was promo-only but might so that one out.

Any rips of the instrumental? And anyone used this to extracts the vocals out the main mix?

I paid $4 for my copy of Midnight. I would go as high as $6 or $7...$12 is just too much. I will buy the vinyl album when it comes out, though.

Just checked Amazon UK and as the poster above says, several sellers have the 45 for a more reasonable price than when I last looked.

Again don't hesitate it sounds amazing. Wait until you here the track without vocals. Very cool bass line.

Yeah, the instrumental track was sweet.
A real vocals and all B side woulda been nice though,
plus the instrumental, maxi single style.

Mine arrived slightly warped. Probably not good, ordering
vinyl during a heat wave.

That instrumental track is pretty sparse, makes you really realize how powerful those vocal stacks are.

Working very hard to isolate some of the vocal!

Nice work! I was just listening to this yesterday morning and wondering if anyone would upload it.
