It's a 2X7'' release. Amazon.fr has it as a CD, so the mistake is not just MK news. I do have a record player and the majority of my music collection in in vinyl format, but of course that only enhances the thrill of collecting!
Come on, it is not funny anymore.

I don't have a LP player but I'll have to buy one.
For those who listened to these Honky Tonk vinyls, what are your reactions? Are the demos the same as the Early Demos cd?
They got a name for people like you, yeh they do

I think this is "official stuff" so it won't be a copy of a crappy quality bootleg.

I bought one for...nostalgia

As I don't intend to play it on a turntable, I let it unopened. Collector item.

Next is to find a good needle-drop version of it  as Amazon does not offer Autorip for that one.
The haters are those who write shit

Just received very bad news. This record is not going to be sell in the Spanish stores despite it was reserved...

Apparently it´s going to be sell just in the UK, Italy and some other countries, but not Spain.

I don´t get it, I was happy with the Record Store Day, but now I find that is just another commercial and silly campaign empty of meaning...
You might get lucky, now and then

Strange. The release is not listed on the official list of albums to be released tomorrow:

I'm lined up in a 'significant' queue an hour and a half before opening at the only shop in Sydney that says they have it... I just hope Dire Straits are still uncool.

Could it be 1000 copies worldwide only? Since I have yet to receive my copy from the Amazon.fr and not quite sure if the product is a 2X7;;, I have snt a friend of mine who lives in London in search of it! Should it be the same with my pre-order I will sell it to anyone interested!

The stock has been delivered all this week to stores here and lots of shops are saying that boxes can also be delayed by customs.
There's a few veterans of RSD in this queue and they are saying many of the releases get re-prints eventually anyway.

Hurray for Honkies! Do you have the demos on CD? If you do, please let us know if there is any differences, actual improvements!

Well don't panic. I walked up the road to the smallest record store in Sydney (Mojos) and with no queue and just browse they had two Honky Tonk 7". Still one per customer but maybe not so limited..?

No mate, I've heard YouTube, so I am really looking forward to listening to these. Right now I'm a long way from home, so will post in much later :)
If my Italian eBay copy arrives, I'll have 3, so again if anyone has no luck and Really wants one I could sell one of them, no profits. Got to keep the love on AMIT.

The quality is superb !! Nice separation sound of instruments, pristine mix and a raw quality of guitar amp sound like it's in your room.
Anybody compared to bootlegs?
