Ryan Adams - Easy Tiger Orange Vinyl + HMV deals

In my searches around the net, I have come to find out some interesting info regarding Ryan Adams new album, Easy Tiger (June 26). From what I understand, this album will be released on vinyl in the UK as well as the US, though in a much more limited form in the UK (2000 copies). Both releases will be treated to orange vinyl, however, the UK version will have one extra track. So where do your allegiances lie? Cheap...or complete?

EDIT: It appears that there are indeed only 2000 copies for the entire world. There doesn't appear to be a UK/US pressing, just a US pressing that will be imported to the UK - but then again, I may be wrong...details are very very hard to come by. I'm going on what I've read around the forums, emails to different distributors, and my best judgement.

Easy Tiger tracklist:

  1. Goodnight Rose
  2. Two
  3. Everybody Knows
  4. Halloween Head
  5. Oh My God, Whatever, Etc.
  6. Tears of Gold
  7. The Sun Also Sets
  8. Off Broadway
  9. Rip Off
  10. Pearls on a String
  11. Two Hearts
  12. These Girls
  13. I Taught Myself How to Grow Old
  14. Nobody Listens to Silence (UK ONLY bonus track?)
Oh, and for those of you who just cannot get enough exclusivity, HMV has a special deal where if you preorder Easy Tiger through them, you can get an exclusive slipcase. Even I won't be doing that...HMV charges £4.20 just to ship ONE CD. Oh, they're also offering an exclusive shirt (designed by Ryan, edition of 1000) for a mere £17.99 ($37).

EDIT: I just received a response to my query from Musicdirect.com, and they are able to inform that the US pressing also has an initial run of 2000 orange copies, with any additional pressing to be on black vinyl. However, they cannot confirm the track list questions.

In addition, I just received a response from HMV, and their exclusive slipcase is indeed a cardboard one. Nothing very special, but I do have to say, their response to my question was VERY polite and quite nice.
