The albums on vinyl

As I write this I'm off to give the new albums a listen and decide in what format I'd like to have 'em. I didn't pre-order anything because I want to support my local record shop, but now I found out they only have the CDs and LPs would be import for €45 each- that's too much.
So here's my question: who of you owns or ordered the vinyl versions of the new albums? Where can you get them (if at all) for a normal price?

I've just spoken to a store in Manchester and they told me that prince has an issue with the Vinyls and they currently have a provisional release of 26th November.

Been trying to look into it further but cant see anything. Kinda makes sense though because Amazon dont actually have a release dat eon the Pre-order for te Vinyl?

I order AOA from Amazon UK - just under £20 (not sure what they'll charged to ship to Europe).

I think Amazon France AOA and PE available for pre-order (no PE in the UK) for around €25.

Okay, thanks. I've heared that there's going to be Dutch branch of Amazon as well, that might make it easier.

Like you may know I have made my order from amazon.fr....

To have Art Official Age on vinyl would be fantastic,

PlecElec well there are so many "fillers", I won't be playing this album that much, still nice to have both in the collection.

Yes, please share info on availability, the release date.

On amazon.fr they wrote 14-15 october..... who know if this will be the final release date.. or maybe there will be further delays, who knows..?

Is the Vinyl going to be a double disc set?

this link suggests that there are 4 discs

maybe meaning 4 sides (2 discs)?

on the official uk store you can now pre-order vinyl + digital packages for £16 each. Building in the discount for buying, adding in shipping it come to about £33 for the pair. AOA 2x 120g vinyl, PE 1x 120g vinyl [...insert complaint about how they should be 180g here...!]

Release date showing as 22nd December (Amazon and elsewhere still appear to be listing 1st December)

The increase in demand for vinyl records has resulted in 2-3 (sometimes 4) months waiting.

Every operational vinyl press is working pretty much around the clock.

This isn't only a Prince issue - vinyl versions are often released much later than cd/digital, unless the master and cover art has been finalized months before the release date.
