Mods, at the risk of sounding selfish, can we please delete or suspend this thread til after Weds morning?
Some of us didn't want this made too high profile!

So they have resources to bother with a limited edition and giveaways, but can't make 1-3,000 copies for everyone else?

It's obviously a publicity stunt to raise HMV's profile rather than a "proper" New Order release but yes, I agree with those saying it's a flawed idea. To me, it's the same as the utterly worthless Record Store Day which masquerades as something worthwhile but only serves to deliver rarities into the hands of people who sling it on Ebay at the earliest opportunity and make obscene amounts off real fans. There's literally no doubt the same thing will happen with this Movement clear vinyl which is a big shame. Come Wednesday lunchtime expect new Ebay listings popping up charging £50 (minimum). Like RSD this concept is a rosy throwback to people buying records and valuing them rather than acting like touts. Well, the reality is people love a freebie and will cash in where they can.

I work about 20 minutes from Oxford St so I am currently weighing up whether to go or not. Naturally if I got a copy it would go into my collection which would be nice but I'm not sure I can be arsed waiting around looking at my watch in the pissing rain to own a copy of something I've got several times over. Can you imagine if you got in and they said we're out? Fucking hell, it would put a right old downer on the day.

My guess is it'll be £100 plus on eBay before weds afternoon.

I really want one, but coming from LA to would be too expense.

A pressing of a 100 is quite expensive. I wonder if they did a larger run and reserving the balance to sell in their shops later? Wishful thinking?
Next months RSD titles haven’t been released yet.

Hence the reason why I'm on the last train out of Hull tomorrow night. Sick of missing out on RSD due to work and then paying some c**t on ebay.

Can't see where it says how many you can have, one copy per person one hopes, but if I can get more than one I will do and have a little competition so another goes to a good home aswell.

& regardless of quality, if the splatter vinyl's go for circa £250 a throw then who knows how much this will end up being worth. But not my reason for jogging on down to the smoke, will look rather nice framed.

You nutter!

If I was a betting man, I'd reckon (as it's limited to 100 copies), that copies will end up at considerably more than £100 on ebay...

I can't be arsed - and Movement is my least played New Order record... It would just sit there in a collection gathering dust... Or until I felt poor enough to sell it!

I managed to get one! My brother is doing a bit of work in London, so he got up early and queued up and managed to get the last copy which was lucky after somebody tried queue jumping in front of him.

I had a bit of luck and joined the queue just before 7:30am and there were about 16 people ahead of me. By 8:15am the queue was stretching back quite far, I'd say easily 50 or 60 people behind me. I overheard a few guys talking about when they had arrived on Monday and Tuesday so quite clearly they were touts, hoovering up as many freebies as possible to sling on Ebay. Maybe they were all Beatles, Elvis and New Order fans (yeah right)... the LP was limited to one per person as expected and re-queueing was not allowed.

Less than 50 minutes after the doors opened, they started to appear on Ebay for £200 Buy It Now listings which was depressing to see.

Oh well, more free money for touts but hopefully more genuine fans nabbed a copy than they did.

As for mine, into the collection it goes.

That is definitely good news for non-Londoners.

So is it limited to 100 copies in total, or just 100 copies per give away?

I'm definitely getting an inkling far more have been pressed than initially thought.

Well, the LP is stickered "Exclusive Re-launch Product" with the HMV Oxford Street address as well as "Limited Edition" so I would say the odds of it becoming commercially available to buy are pretty slim.

But I agree, the prices on Ebay are going between 60-200 at the moment, they won't stay that high.

I would say they'll settle more around the 40-50 mark eventually (which is still way too much IMO).

I was 15-20 people from the front of the queue at the bit where Boots joins the HMV store; black North Face jacket and headphones on.

Yeah, could the 18th be the *official* store opening date? I suppose that's why of this week's give-aways probably have the exact same sticker? Regardless, it seems from that HMV tweet there will be at least one more give-away in the NW. This bit of vinyl clearly doesn't seem to be quite as "limited" as HMV led us to believe. That's obviously a good thing for other fans wanting to get a crack at a copy but the inference was this is limited to 100 copies/this event and that's it.

Evidently not that will dent some of the touts auctions hopefully.
