ALMOST HERE (FBR 25TH ANNIVERSARY/SILVER VINYL) | VINYL RECORD (LP)
Product DESCRIPTION
Release Date: 01/29/2021
Deluxe edition colored vinyl LP pressing. In celebration of Fueled By Ramen's 25th anniversary, Chicago-based melodic pop-punk outfit The Academy Is...'s classic 2005 debut studio album, Almost Here is reissued here on colored vinyl! Slickly produced by James Paul Wisner and featuring the namemaking singles "Checkmarks," "Slow Down" and "The Phrase That Pays," "Almost Here is a non-stop whirlwind of glossy emo pop that could easily stand alongside any release this scene has witnessed. Not only was the album a near-perfect debut, it was also the best album the band would release during their startlingly brief career" (It's All Dead).
Shipping Policy
To help you understand our shipping process, here's a detailed look at our shipping policy based on the type of product you order:
In Stock Items
Only items that are currently available can be purchased on our website.
Shipping Time:
Orders typically ship within 2–5 business days.
Once your order ships, you’ll receive a confirmation email with tracking information.
Payment Policy:
Payment is collected at checkout at the time your order is placed.
Out of Stock Items (Backorder Queue)
If an item is currently unavailable, you’ll see the option to “Join Backorder Queue.”
Here’s how it works:
Join the queue for the record you want.
When it comes back in stock, customers are notified in the order they joined.
If inventory is limited, notifications are sent in batches.
When you receive a notification, you’ll have a limited window (typically 24 hours) to complete your purchase before it moves to the next person in line - IF inventory is limited.
Joining the queue does NOT require payment.
This system ensures fairness and prevents overselling.
Release Updates
If an upcoming title has a scheduled release date (pre-order items), the product page will reflect the most current expected timeline.
If release dates change, the product page will be updated accordingly. Once the item becomes available, it will be added as an in stock item.
*Pre-Order items use the same queue system as Backorder items.
When will I receive a tracking number?
We provide tracking for every order. Tracking will be available once your product is shipped. All of our products are shipped out of our warehouse in Westlake Village, CA. You can track your order through your account on our website, via any of the shipping confirmation emails we've sent you, or through the Shop App.
