We\u00a0scoured\u00a0the entire Earth and found as many as we could that are in working order. Being that there are several body\u00a0types, please understand if yours is different than your friend&#8217;s. Every Walkman\u00a0will be tested and signed by the band before shipment, but again, please understand if your &#8220;new&#8221; vintage technology craps the proverbial bed.<\/p>\n<p>-ATTENTION\u00a02 &#8211;\u00a0The cassettes will start shipping\u00a0next week (times may vary, if you&#8217;re getting a combo). But unfortunately, the records won\u2019t be shipping for about 12 weeks, due to crazy vinyl production factory backlogs. For this reason, we&#8217;re not doing combos that combine Cassettes and Vinyl, because a combo purchase would hold back your fancy new cassette until the record mailing. You can still purchase both items, but\u00a0you&#8217;ll probably want to order your Vinyl on a separate order, so it doesn&#8217;t delay your other items.<\/p>\n<p>BUT&#8230;..\u00a0dry those tears. As soon as you place your order for your\u00a0record and\/or tape, a High Quality MP3 download will be sent to you immediately upon purchase (remember, you get a download card\/ticket inside your album, as well, and that gives you access to high resolution\u00a0formats like FLAC). Technology.<\/p>\n<p><em>*And remember, if you got one of the fancy Cover Up EP Warped Tour Lanyards, you can use the code that\u2019s on the back to get a 5 dollar discount on the album configuration of your choice (offer only available at our new\u00a0<strong><a href=\"http:\/\/protomen.gomerch.com\" target=\"_blank\" data-cke-saved-href=\"http:\/\/protomen.gomerch.com\"><span data-scaytid=\"5\" data-scayt_word=\"GoMerch\">GoMerch<\/span>\u00a0store<\/a><\/strong>, or in person at a show).
