I'm a little disappointed because of the lack of originality, I was expecting something better than this, but here they are:

We'll have an "original test press" to give away (white labels)... and probably a full set as well.
Rest asure, they will post it, not me, so it will be fast

£5.50 each from there - HMV are selling for £3.99 each... 
(Although I have an instant dislike for HMV online, so I'll make my way into a store to physically buy them)! 
The deed is done.£47.88 in total for the whole lot with free delivery.
I'm really not over the moon about it, one jot
Not too unhappy with those designs.
Problem looming for those of us down here that want to order a set. Last time I checked, HMV were charging an individual rate for shipping rather than a bundled rate, making shipping costs pretty prohibitive to Australia.
What a masterstroke HMV, you've priced yourself out of the market. At a time when everyone else is bringing down global shipping costs.
:\pimp3:
if the label was smart, they'd bundle in a turntable for a package deal and call it a straight up 100 pounds...gonna have to finally suck it up and buy one I guess...
Still no word on a cd set of these is there Nic?
If I'll buy, it's gonna be only a few of these 12"s. I have no interest in buying 86-93 versions. A more interesting sleeve would encourage me to buy more but this is not the point here.
Quick calculation.
12 x 12" to Australia through HMV.
$114 for the vinyl and a whopping $106 for shipping.
Option B anyone?

i think i may just have to dive to sydney in the hope that a certain shop may just stock it (eventually. at this stage the fuel costs should still come in less than the shipping costs.
I see what they've done there. They have used different colours for different singles. But cleverly kept the leaf the same. Thats really brilliant.
:bag:
yes i must remember to shop around went to HMV web site bought the lot and got a student discount of 10% as well not much but every little helps. incidently i like the sleeves nice and clean just need to buy some plastic sleeves now to stop them getting mucky

Would it be cheaper if someone here bought them and posted them over to you?
I'd be happy to help.
I'd need a beer after licking all them stamps, mind.
I tried to order them all from HMV at 2am after a very heavy bout of drinking.
Somehow, I had the presence of mind to check the basket before completing the order.
13.
Spent a few minutes trying to see which one I'd done twice then went to bed.
I'll pick them up from the shop, I think. At least they won't get bent in the mail that way - I need them minty mint!

Very generous offer, Oiler.
I'll round up the interested parties down here and calculate the damage. Let you know.
Don't breath a word of it to Old Blue, mind.

Colin,

slim me thinks.

We'd have more chance at the back door with a crowbar.
Nice idea though - me and you queueing at 23.59 with a thermos full of Pernod, talking bollocks about UP.
Wonder what the Wino's would make of that.
Damn, gonna have to get them.
Did they ever do a record player that was a little VW Camper van that drove around the record?
Or was that a dream?
They did, but it ripped vinyl to shreds.
I'm probably going to burn all the vinyl-only stuff to CD (via the hi-fi-route, not the PC) when they arrive. Happy to share (if people have the vinyl) 
Here's a place you can buy them.. (or WILL be able)
I was also told Amazon UK should eventually have them, and they will send me a list of places you'll be able to pick them up yourselves.
I'm still trying to convince WenOrder we should sell them as well... ;)
They are there:
Bizarre Love Triangle / Fine Time Bizarre Love Triangle / Shellshock Blue Monday Confusion / Crystal Confusion / Everythings Gone Green Jetstream / Someone Like Yo Krafty / Jetstream Someone Like You Subculture / I Told You So True Faith / Regret Waiting For A Sirens Call We're Here To Stay / Jetstream

Yes BLUE PETER are making one from three Cornflakes packets.Cover in sticky back plastic and write on it in YELLOW crayon "NEW ORDER - VINYL CONFLICT".
for those in america,
you can try to order them from here:
they are currently listed under future releases, if you do a search for 'new order'.
also, i guess i haven't really noticed it, but it seems like almost every new single that is out, has a 7" release along with it and sometimes a 12" too, i guess they are becoming popular again..
later -1

Well the design makes sense in so far as it helps promote the singles compilation. In this case new order/Warners have not one but 12 singles out to draw attention to "Singles". Not a bad idea really. They've even got a blue leaf for Blue Monday, too bad they didn't manage to match the green one with EGG.
Worst part is, Peter Saville is pissed at Warner right now, he never saw the design and didn't approve them...
He's mostly pissed at the FONTS used because they are outdated and, I state it "the font is an old one he hates (now used by of all people Coldplay)"
;)
Warner will never learn

So why in heavens there's a "art direction Peter Saville" credit on "Singles"?

Nic trying get some discount on amatodirect for neworderonline members.

Funny, that.
First thing I noticed was the font and the inconsistency with the Singles' font, despite the rest of the design similarities. Not surprised Peter's a little pissed.
The fact it could be seen as borrowing design from Coldplay would be the icing on the cake! The least they could've done was run the proofs by him.

Folks,
I don't know if these work particularly well, but there are HMV online discount codes at the following location...
http://www.hotukdeals.com/vouchers.php
Might take some of the cost off for you. Note that I can't guarantee that any of those are valid or that they work, but you might as well try them if you're going to be buying the full whack anyway.
Cheers,
MK

I spoke with kind souls @ Greville Street records in Melbourne & they are apparently looking into likelihood of being able to source the set - if I hear anything I'll let interested parties know...

Will be taking advantage of yr kind offer once I've invested in the twleves - well, the ones that contin material I don't already own.
Does the offer extend to older material? I have plenty of tracks on vinyl that I'm too lazy/technologically backward to stick on CD myself, and would grovel pathetically to get crisp, digital copies thereof...

Depends how much (and if I get time!)...
Drop me an e-mail with what you're after.

Hey hey, I've just had a great idea!
Anyone who thinks this is a rip off should NOT BUY THEM.
(Oh, and shut the fuck up while they're doing it)
TheIdealCopy posted them today. $11.99 each or $139.99 for the whole sha-bang. 30lbs, so shipping is $10.99 or $19.99 for Priority USPS.

AGREED! :)
For people outside the UK, we're trying to get then in our shop.. obviously we'll be able to do multiple shipments and stuff to save you on shipping.
(At least I hope so!)
BTW, 3 for a tenner from Virgin Megastores - so says the full-page advert in this month's DJ Magazine! :)
Funny about the Albertus font -- that was the first thing I noticed, too. No wonder Saville is pissed. The design looks lazy.
was about to order these from hmv.co.uk seeing as they have the best price, even given the ridiculously weak US $, but the shipping cost to the US is a whopping £45.00!!!
I've said it before and I'll say it again... Since HMV amended their shipping policy, it's no longer viable to order stuff like this off them if you're not in the UK.
They are cretins who've just tossed in a sizeable chunk of the international music/movie retail market.
I'll be interested in ordering from the NOOL store, depending on shipping rates from the US. But once you factor in the initial shipping from UK-US, will it be economical?
For interested parties, I'll see whether Warner AU have got anything to do with local distribution.
