Beirut - Elephant Gun 7"

So, I thought the new Elephant Gun 7" by Beirut was going to be a bit more readily available than it is turning out to be. I ordered it through my local record shop, and while they had ordered copies for every one of their stores, the computer has deemed the single "Out of Circulation (OC)." Norman Records (my go-to UK store) made Elephant Gun their "single of the week"...and it's sold out. Piccadilly Records still has some left, but they stress that it's extremely limited and they're on their last copies. Rough Trade still has some, as does Recordstore.co.uk, Action Records, and Jumbo Records. Oddly enough, 4ad appears to still have some - which makes me wonder why other stores can't get ahold of it. The only US sites that I've found this listed on is Reckless Records in Chicago and Interpunk. Don't let the list of sites where its still available fool you, this baby looks even more limited than originally expected.

Edit: 4ad is now Out-of-stock. These are going fast. Hop on it.
