I thought the rule was one copy per person. Obviously they can't stop groups of people getting together and buying multiple copies between them to sell on but to say they can't stop someone taking 20 copies of something is bollocks frankly

Just got one from Record Collector in Sheffield. Queued from 7.20, shop opens at 8. All the time waiting kept hearing about various records selling out so was quite worried not getting one, especially since its the only thing i wanted. Over 3 and a half hours later i finally got served and got one. Looked like there was 10 copies left!

Got one from Spillers earlier. It was on when I was in the shop and sounded amazing.

Hopefully the picture will be released as a t-shirt. It's stunning.

That was a miserable experience! I had difficulties in getting there, but still lined up for four hours.

They just sold out as I was about 5 metres from the shop door. Gutted and miserable.

Can anyone help???

Maybe one of the Cardiff posters can get you a copy from Spillers? Or anyone anywhere else where copies are still to be found?

If anyone could, I'd be uber grateful!

I've called round the stores for 20 miles (and I don't drive), but alas, no luck there, either!

Does anyone know when the stores put out the left-overs? Is it a week later or earlier?

If there's any left most online retailers start selling them next Saturday.
