Sigur Ros have been very busy. I just received my deluxe-edition of Med Sud I Eyrum Vid Spilum Endalaust, shelling out $100 (and getting my name listed in the back!) and now they have to go and issue their first album, Von, on vinyl for the first time. One Little Indian has pressed 2000 copies of this gem and listings are popping up on Amazon.co.uk and my old favorite, Norman Records, amongst others. A true treat, they are "pressed on 200g vinyl and housed in a lavish gatefold sleeve with a special purple plastic wallet." The price tag is not very forgiving, at about $40 before shipping...but as we all know, these things won't last long and then f*n eBay will serve you a side of regret with your main course of agony.
Secondly, I would like to mention how terribly scarce the CD-Single for Inní mér syngur vitleysingur appears to be. I ordered it from Amazon.com and they actually canceled my order after a month since they couldn't get any in. Look elsewhere on the web and you'll find the same backorder business. It looks like eBay may be your only place to find this 2-track release, their only physical single release from með suð í eyrum við spilum endalaust.
I should also mention that með suð í eyrum við spilum endalaust is also in preorder from your favorite indie-record shops. Why not show the little guys some love during this holiday season and buy it for everyone you know? Perhaps Sigur Ros releases can save the Iceland economy...You can find a selection of good shops in my links on the right - or you can just drive down to your favorite brick & mortar.
