Digital pre-save and physical pre-sale

Some notes about the physical pre-order:

  • From the link above, this is the band pre-sale.
  • There are USA and "rest of world" versions of the pre-order store
  • Depending on the store you're in (which can be toggled in the top right corner of the store), it will calculate postage differently. If you're in the USA store, it calculates postage with items being mailed from the USA. If you're in the global store, it calculates postage with items being mailed from the UK. So, if you're in the USA, it would make the most sense to be in the USA store!
  • The items in each store are different for the time being. The USA store has vinyl and CD. The global store has vinyl, CD, t-shirts and bundles
  • There is going to be a later merch drop with items being added to both stores to make them the same. If you order anything now and want to add more items later, your orders will be combined and shipping costs will be adjusted to reflect combined shipping
  • If you're in the USA and you see something in the global store that you want, (a t-shirt or bundle), you can order it, but keep in mind that it will be shipped from the UK. You may want to wait for the merch drop to update the USA store.
  • Assai Records has an exclusive blue 12" and 7" bundle

We hope you find something you like - we're optimistic this pre-sale will be a smashing success!
