      What does everyone have (or what have you seen) for the hardcopy versions of this release?

      So far, I’ve seen a UK version, and a DE promo.

      heh. it’s been too warm to hibernate.

      pre-orders aren’t \"confirmed\" releases, in my opinion. remember the zeitgeist pre-orders? things turned out different too. the best example is the vinyl, of course, but i remember a german red zeitgeist was also \"confirmed\" at that time.

      where did you see the german promo of american gothic? how does it look like? i assume you didn’t find it on amazon where people could pre-order it.

      Oh, hell no. LOL. It was on eBay. Looks like a CD-R. Not even sure if it comes in a jewel-case or not. The UK version I have not actually seen for sale, other than preorders. The promo however, is on it’s way as we speak. :D

      It looks like the 4 songs comprises the EP can be bought individually. And there goes our saving again :P .

      No, what it means is that the four songs are available in the ZG deluxe edition, but also separately – through AG.

      i think that the comment has nothing to do with the cd release. it’s about how it is released on itunes: you can buy zeitgeist "deluxe", which includes the 4 american gothic tracks, or you can buy the tracks separately. if i’m not mistaken, there isn’t even an itunes release of american gothic as a whole.
      note that the american gothic tracks are an itunes exclusive in the us, so it’s understandable that they don’t mention the cd release.

      i only bought the uk version so far, but i can already confirm that the version that is sold in belgium (and the rest of the eu?) is different.
      different matrix code, at least. there might be more differences, but not that i know of…

      where did you "post" them?

      the thing is, i have both versions now, so i could easily make scans of both and upload them to the collection. but if you already made scans and sent them somewhere…

      i will see.

      edit: i got the scans. will look into it later today.
      edit 2: aah, too much to do and not enough time. i will upload the two american gothics tomorrow.

      Thanks for this news Bryan! Do you happen to be from Down Under, which might make it easy for you to check in the shops soon? And then maybe maybe maybe help us worldwide order it somewhere in Australia (or is that address you provided already your online source of choice maybe)?

      Yes I do Live Down Under New Zealand actually, I am certain this will be manufactured in Australia, time will tell though. I am guessing they may sell these American Gothic EP’s at the concerts being played down here soon. I have got my tickets for 24/3/08 already I cannot wait. Last time the pumpkins played in my home town was 1996 and boy that was good!

      Here is a little heads up for you compulsive collectors, note the country of origin is listed as AUSTRALIA, not a bad price either!!!! http://www.redeye.com.au/answer.asp?rei … rch=search.

      I have ordered many items from this site and these people are great, you will have no problems. They had some great pumpkins items a few years ago but most have been sold.

      P.S Note the release date of the 1st of March.

      Thanks Bryan, so good to have friends all over the place! Let’s wait for your confirmation on the EP being genuine Australian (sold in New Zealand), and I will give it a shot for my collection of course. Maybe Australia/New Zealand will have a promo copy also?

      In the meantime I found 2 other promo releases for American Gothic:

      Some more info from the SPIFC newsletter I received today.

      \"Hello SPIFC members! Here’s the SPIFC’s February 2008 newsletter:

      NEW \"AMERICAN GOTHIC EP\" TO HAVE A PHYSICAL CD RELEASE

      As mentioned in the previous newsletter, the Pumpkins released a 4 track EP via iTunes in North America called \"America Gothic\" on January 2nd, 2008. There has been much talk about an eventual release of the EP on CD in countries outside of the US, as iTunes was supposed be the \"exclusive retailer\" of the EP in the USA. Well now it appears that there is going to be a physical release in many countries in the USA and Canada after all.

      The following is a list of released dates in several countries. You can pre-order the CD in these countries on their respective Amazon pages. This is likely not an exhaustive list, so please let us know if you have discovered release dates for other countries:

      UK – February 11
      US – February 12
      Japan – February 12
      Germany – February 15
      Australia – March 1
      Canada – March 4

      It is unclear whether or not the worldwide release dates of the CD will have coincide with with a release on iTunes in some countries. However, Ozphoria, the Australian SP Fan site, has confirmed with Warner Music that March 1 is the release date in that country will coincide with a corresponding iTunes release. The reason for the delay in releasing the EP in Australia is reportedly due to the fact that Warner wants to have it released closer to the Pumpkins Australian tour. As for the late release date in Canada, this has gone unexplained, and does not make much sense considering \"American Gothic\" was released in Canada and the US on iTunes at the same time. There are no Canadian tour dates in the near future to explain this.

      A reminder of iTunes info \"American Gothic\" for the USA and Canada:
      Currently the 4 tracks are being sold separately on iTunes
      The Rose March
      Again, Again, Again (The Crux)
      Pox
      Sunkissed

      The American Gothic EP is also being sold as part of a deluxe iTunes release that for a includes the 4 American Gothic tracks, the full album of ZEITGEIST and both music videos (Tarantula & That’s The Way).

      Curiously, there is no separate American Gothic EP listing on iTunes, but SmashingPumpkins.com has made a hi-resolution copy of the cover art available for download at their website, You can find the cover art for American Gothic, here:

      Doesn’t the English version come with 4 live tracks extra to every other version?

      So what (commercial) releases of American Gothic do we have?

      – UK
      – Europe

      – Argentina
      – Australia

      Exactly what I was thinking. No japanese release or taiwanese, for that matter. Not that taiwan ever announced a release, but they have versions of most of the recent releases, especially if japan does.

      Maybe in time. Maybe never.

    • #5752

      if it’s not been released yet, i don’t think there will be one.

      america didn’t get a release either, so this is not too strange.

      true. i was just expecting the japanese release, only because of the first post in this thread. had a release date and everything.
