I've never been disappointed with anything Jim has done! Can't wait for the release as well. Keep them coming Jim!

Looking forward to it!

Anxiously awaiting a copy from Hi-Tide to ship. It looks like vinyl is sold out through both Tikiyaki Orchestra and Hi-TIde.

Hi-Tide is taking preorders for a repress in a new colour:

...and as of this morning, it looks like there are some copies left via Tikiyaki. So you still have a couple of colour choices!

Glad Hi-Tide gave us digital downloads awhile back but I am itching to get my hands on the vinyl.

Can’t wait to give this a listen. Til then, I will salute the song name “Espionage-a-trois.”

Orange vinyl now available at the band's Shopify store: https://shoptikiyaki.com/

(also has a lemonade edition of Aloha Baby)

The Shag artwork and gatefold are gorgeous. Might have to buy another copy or two to put on the wall!
