just ordered mine. How many others on this site?

Moi!

Moi aussi. Shipping costs were almost as much as the singles themselves.

so, whats the chances of this getting to number one then?

Slim, as the dumb bastards have only chosen to release it on a Friday, giving us just two days to buy it in time for it to chart, but may as well have a go!

only 150 copies have been allocated to the UK now apparently

I have a big request for anyone out there. Would anyone who is going to buy a copy at a record store be able to buy a copy for me? I would send money and my address through Paypal.
I live in southern Georgia and the nearest record store is in like either Atlanta or Orlando. I can't drive that far just for a single.
If anybody could purchase me a copy (which I could send the money for), I'd be forever in debt to your kindness!

So,there are only 1.000 copies in general or only 1.000 for the release date April 17th?

First my pre-order was canceled by Amazon...now my pre-order is canceled with CD Universe with this note: "At the time you placed this order, the item was available from our vendors. Since then, our vendors have discontinued supplying this item."

So I won't get my hopes up for my order at fnac.fr

My recent order on CD World has also been "delayed"

Am not holding my breath for my FNAC order either. I made it after a secondary seller on Amazon had cancelled the order I made a few days ago:

We are sorry but we have had to cancel your order as it was listed in error.

The code we have used has brought up the item you have purchased. The item we have is not the same product.

You have not been charged for the order and Amazon has not charged your card.

We are sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.

Regards

I reckon the chances of obtaining this is going to be very slim.

Just phoned one of the record shops and all copies have gone to regulars in which i cant blame them to be honest.

Was beginning to think I wouldn't get a copy myself. Last week I spoke to the guy at a record store I visit often and he didn't know anything about the single. I asked if he could research it and get me one if possible. In the meantime I pre-ordered it on CD Universe. Then I got the e-mail saying that it wouldn't be available, like many other folks. Today I called the record store again and he has it for me! Of course he can't sell it yet, anyway I'm satisfied to wait for the official "record store day".

Anyone knows if it will show up on Spotify?

I called a few record shops (linked to record store day site) and apparently I was not the only one asking for de single. Anyway, both stores said that their order was cancelled.

Can't believe fnac is going to come good. It surely can't have many copies, if any... My order status is that it's "being processed", which could mean anything - or most likely nothing!

Hey Harm, I think you live in Germany if I remember right. Anyway I called a record store listed on the "record store day" internet site in Mannheim. The guy didn't know what I was talking about. Furthermore, I question the participating stores in Koln. I've been there, the stores I found were techno, except one, and it didn't seem very special. For all those concerned I hope you're able to get a copy, and this doesn't turn into a money making scheme on E-bay.

Dutchman living in Belgium but near the beautiful little town called Maastricht

I called one participating store who said they weren't getting anything cos they only sold second-hand vinyl, another one had no idea what I was talking about and another claimed they would be getting it, but didn't know how many copies and it couldn't be reserved.

Hot item!!!

>> Hot item!!! <<

as it should be! i tried too, via cd universe and fnac, but ... oh well

hail hail Rolling Stones anyway :E

Afraid it already has

Wasn't planning on buying this, but now I'm intrigued enough to contact our local record store.

You can listen to a snip at Amazon.

Already a collector´s item, as it seems:

[cgi.ebay.de]

The running number of that single is 6449.
So maybe there are 10.000 copies pressed?

There also seem to be unnumbered editions out there,
so it´s not that difficult to finally find some.

Great artwork, btw. Will put it next to my Exile Ep from 1972

TooTough, what's that EP?

There are also at least 2 different pressings available. One from Europe (NL?) and one from USA.

The one on the picture above is European. Perhaps they are not numbered.

I am going to go try and get a couple of copies Saturday, hopefully the record store doesn't keep them all for the employees.
