The first batch of Melvins singles are already sold out at Midheaven! Time to ask your local record stores if they can order them. "Midheaven won't accept preorders any longer-- the singles will go up on the site the Friday evening before street date, and it is impossible for us to answer individual emails about availability. All customers who ordered the first two
singles will have to order subsequent releases in the 7" series manually, via the site, when the items are posted."
