Hey Michael,
Can you send me an email at dean@matadordirect.com so we can figure out what’s going on? All copies have been shipped out

Hey Dave,
Thanks for writing. It’s really crazy how quickly all of the emails flooded in. I’m going through the orders from yesterday though and want to let you know that we received orders from Arizona, Oregon, California, Sweden, Ireland, Canada etc.
Take care,
Dean

I think this whole singles program (despite the glitches) has been fun as hell. I’ve only nailed the 2 most recent preorders, but was able to get the other three through conventional means (merch table and record store). My heart was pounding yesterday afternoon!

Hi Dean,
I think this system is flawed. I have a bunch of friends on the west coast, and we all logged in right at 3 pm est, had emails prepared, copied and pasted within a second or two, etc., and none of us got an email confirmation. One of my techy friends said people emailing from New York IP addresses were far more likely to get through faster, even seconds ahead. Maybe a lottery system would be more fair? Just sayin’.

Hi Ryan,
The buy link will be good until everyone who has a record reserved for them gets one, so get it at a convenient time for you. The madness is over!

Yeah, darn. My e-mail was sent out at 3:00:09… so it sold out in less than nine seconds!!!

The quest to complete my set now lies with the middlemen…

Wow, I really thought I would have gotten in since I sent my email within like 10 seconds. Oh well….Thanks for the info, Dean. This was a lot smoother than last time

Thanks for the update Dean. I’m bummed, but this was very fair.

Hey everyone,
At this point the confirmation emails have been sent out. Those who got one should be able to log into the store and will see a buy link on the Trapped Here page.
https://www.matadorrecords.com/store…catalog_id=319
The link is not time-sensitive so order when you want.

If you haven’t gotten an email, I’m sorry to say we don’t have a copy for you. As you saw, the copies we had for mailorder sold out in less than a minute.

Please send an email to dean@matadordirect.com if you’ve received a confirmation email but don’t see a buy link on the site!
Thanks

I’m pretty sure I had to be also. I got it in at or before 12:01.
