Here's what they had to say about the Eternal/'Live Battery pre-order deal:
"The method that they wanted us to use to get the LPs to the
customer was convoluted and required us to order more product
than we can realistically sell. That borne in mind, the guy who
does the orders decided not to opt into the buy early, get stuff
program. It's a shame really. That being said, The Eternal is their
best work to date, IMHO."
Well, there you have it: Sonic Youth have ascended to musical Nirvana, the folks at Matador feed children to Moloch. Someone please write a sycophantic letter of apology to David Geffen, or otherwise let the bootlegging begin.

Hey sorry about that, either Beggars Canada did not run the BEGN program like we had intended or maybe the store misunderstood how it was supposed to work. We don't always have as much control over those sort of things as we would like, but I will definitely bring this up and figure out if they had run the promotion like we did here in the US. So, once again, sorry that your store and ultimately you felt that this promotion was not worthwhile and hopefully in the future we can work things a bit smoother.
