Usually, they send the items out early so they can try and get it to you on the release date, but it can sometimes be different.

Next year me, my parents and my brother are going on vacation for the last time together (well not officially because this year I didnt went with them) and we are going to do a trip to the west coast of the USA

That's funny that, because my parents and my brother and I are going on holiday for the last time together

Except, we'll be on the east coast - going to New York and visiting the whole of Florida (including Miami).

But Bart, that sounds awesome! I really want to visit the west coast. It sounds like a great place to go to.

Well I will surely also visit the east coast sometime, in the future.

In fact, people USE to get their stuff some days prior to official release. For example, Yeah (an user in this website) received his Achtung Baby thing almost one week before November 1st, the date when it was supposed to come out in physical stores, etc.

Guys, I need some immediate help. Should I bid on a Pop vinyl on eBay? Cost me total of $40 american dollars, auction ends in a half hour.

Assuming you have a turntable, why not?

Dunno. Shot up to 70 dollars faster than I could bid anyway. Let it go.

70 dollars? WTF. I saw it in a record store yesterday evening for 18€ (25$) in a pretty goot condition. I also saw other bargains like a Spanish pressing of Joshua for 9€ and an unofficial but extremely cool 3x3 bundle of nine 7" singles (from 11 O'Clock to EBTTRT) for 35€... Anyway, I was looking for a gift so I just couldn't spend my bucks on that!

POP?! Jeez, Sergio....I have never even seen the following U2 on vinyl in the flesh:

-Achtung Baby
-Zooropa
-Pop
-Greatest Hits 80-90
-How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb
-U218

Don't know if U218 was even pressed on vinyl (I'm sure it was somewhere), but yeah...none of the above have I ever seen in person. On eBay and Amazon, sure, but they're nowhere to be found here. Happened to come across ATYCLB at a record store, brand new, but it was an import so it was super expensive. Same with Best of 90-00- really cool looking vinyl, but hugely overpriced.

Speaking of eBay (and the conversation above), I'm also keeping my eye on an original (Greek, I believe) pressing of Pearl Jam's "Ten". The one with the pink cover- not the remaster with the brown cover. It's very, very difficult to find here as well, seeing as how everyone stocks the remaster.
