my popmarket order of the vinyl has shipped. surprised a popmarket order may actually not be a month later for once.
Oh I can understand it, especially those wanting to form out for the Vinyl. £200 on a so-so set of music is always going to be a difficult one to swing, and there's a lot of boxes coming for Christmas. I'll be glad when mine ships, taking the option to cancel off the table.
Me too. I haven't looked forward to hearing a Bowie record so much since this time last year! The remix is my go to version for Lodger now and I'm hoping NLMD '18 will be too.
yeah but 50th anniversary how often does that come around i mean it must be only once every, what? 49 years lol
Good question. Now that Columbia finally got a "hit" on its hands with blackstar, and "legacy" seems to have moved off supermarket shelves in the UK at a nice clip, maybe they have some options to exercise that they weren't thinking about after "heathen", "reality" and "next day" all flopped. Did they pass on the "opportunity" to put out "Nothing Has Changed"? I still for the life of me can't figure out how NHC ended up on Parlophone and "Legacy" on Sony/Columbia.
if i'm still alive i will probably forget i heard it and it will be all new music get to discover it all over again ! there is something to look forward to lol
Well, they already did a pretty darn good 2CD 40th anniversary set in 2009 (David Bowie - David Bowie ) so I don't see what else more a 50th anniversary set could do. I don't recall The Next Day being a flop at all. It did hit top 5 all around the world I believe, as well as #1 in many countries, and went platinum in France, Netherlands, and UK. Not a flop if you ask me. Nothing Has Changed was also on Sony/Columbia in the US as well as Parlophone in the UK, same exact distributors for Legacy. I don't see why they won't go any further with these sets. I mean, they only have two or three left to go so why not? The market's there, I'm for sure awaiting the new one Friday.
* Just a quick look at the wiki for Heathen, and I see it only got two sales certifications: 100K in the UK, and 132K in France. * All three of those ISO albums came out in variations calculated to pump up numbers. (Buy 1 2-disc special edition of "Heathen" or "Reality"? It counts for certification purposes as 2 units sold.) * The only ISO title they bothered getting a US RIAA cert for was "blackstar", a year+ after his passing. Bad sales are no hanging matter. I'm just wondering...
In a world of cratering sales, a Top 10, 5, or 1 doesn't mean much in 2013. Tallying the worldwide certs listed on the wiki page, it still all falls short of a million units outside the USA. And that's with a lot of workover: a regular edition, a deluxe, an extra EP, a multi-disc box set. Kudos for its performance in the UK, though (300K, in 2013. Not shabby.). Ah, my bad, then. My NHC is clearly "Parlophone" all over the place. It's probably a non-US import. I only got it a couple months ago from an Amazon seller and didn't look closely at country of origin. Thanks.
I do think they should've either deleted or replaced the 2CD NHC with the 2CD Legacy, because where I'm at I always see many copies of the 2CD NHC around along with the 2CD Legacy, which is the same thing as Legacy save for a couple track substitutions, but other than that, they are the same exact remasters.
Just curious after watching this, since I don't have the cd sets .. do these box sets really have different height dimensions as seen here in a row, or are those counterfeit?
