Great, the UK store requires a bundle again. Nope. I'll wait and see if someone else sells the CD on its own.

I'd anticipate them doing plenty of signings/promo around release day. Banquet and Resident seem like a good bet to have signed copies.

Yeah I’ve been burnt too many times recently when I’ve bought a bundle and could have got it cheaper. Will wait.

Looks like UK customers are being fleeced by having to buy the bundles, or multiples of useless cassettes.

I bought on the US store the signed "alternative" coloured vinyl and the signed CD for around £48 including shipping to the UK, which is pretty decent given that both are unavailable on their own in the UK (hopefully without any further duties!).

I'm not sure WA are the type of band who will do signings at the likes of Banquet etc - are they perhaps too big for those now? Although if they do then I can always cancel my order.

Non bundle could still turn up on Amazon like it did for Haim recently just after I’d bought a bundle.

These bundles are the reason why there is a supposed 'Cassette Revival', the numbers of cassette purchases have gone up only because people need to buy four cassettes of the same album in order to get the signed item. Cassettes probably never listened to or go straight in the bin.

I am sure there are many albums that would not have reached number one if it wasn't for this marketing tactic.

Wolf Alice's first 2 albums were available via banquet as signed or personally signed. Not sure about Blue Weekend.

I notice on Amazon the vinyl is available but not the CD (and they have an exclusive vinyl) - I'm hopeful when the CD shows up it might be signed, they seem to wait a week like they did with Haim to maximise bundle sales.
