I dnt know if I'm gonna listen to the stream. I'm not sure I want to hear the album for the first time just sitting at my desk. I might hold off. But I doubt it.

Wasn't there going to be some different European BEGN with different extras? Or was that a misunderstanding?

Yes, they tried to make some kind of that, but it never happened

New Sonic Youth Album - Buy Early Get Now Offer!

The new Sonic Youth album, The Eternal, is not officially released until June 9, but thanks to Matador Records' "Buy Early Get Now" promotion, you not only get to hear the record as early as April 28, but you also will get a bonus limited live vinyl Sonic Youth LP (while supplies last), a limited-edition poster, plus exclusive MP3 outtakes and live tracks with your purchase! Here's how it works:
Come in to one of our stores and ask for a Sonic Youth Buy Early Get Now card. You purchase the CD or LP in advance and fill out the card which will include your unique code to download your bonus tracks from the website specified on the card. You take half of the card (don't lose it!) and wait for the goodies to roll in. Here's what you will get:
April 28 - Exclusive pre-release stream of The Eternal becomes available. First bonus MP3 download will also be available at this time.
May 12 - Second bonus MP3 download available
June 2 - Third bonus MP3 download available
June 9 - Official release date - bring your half of the Buy Early Get Now card into the store to get your copy of The Eternal, bonus live LP, and poster!
The CD version of The Eternal is priced at $19.99, the vinyl LP is $33.99.

So, since the first bonus mp3 was not available on the 28th, when will it come out? On May 12th? But that's the date for the 2nd bonus mp3. Anyway, I'm already fiending for the bonus mp3 tracks. The main Eternal songs are soooo 2 days ago!! I want to hear some new sonic youth :)

what should i do??
is it worth 45 euros? man thats a lots of money for 2 records

Does anybody know the deadline for the BEGN? Unfortunately I've had a currency shortcoming and I still haven't been able to preorder it :\

yeah id like to know that too
i deff want to have that double live lp but its just too damn fuckin expensive (w/shipping to hungary)

After about 6 listens, I think every song on the Eternal is great. The second half of the album is SO MUCH better than the first half...

I pre-ordered at my local Record Store (an option if you have a local indie to save shipping) and they said they thought the pre-order was ending soonish... but, if I remember correctly, the Pavement pre-order was available until ALMOST the actual release date... you basically have until they run out of time on pressing the pre-order bonus LP... though with Pavement, they obviously pressed some extras (as it was available for Record Store Day).

hey dOOdz, when will they ship this shit? On release date? Anybody has some INSIDE INFO?

We're aiming on having everything shipped a bit before street date so that it shows up before or on June 9th.

^clever!
mysterious!

so, no buy early get late this time?
he he

thx for the prompt answer.
Pretty handy to have the bunch of you creeping around this forum ha ha
