I see that two NLMD'18 CDs have sold on ebay from a UK seller, and he has 1 remaining. At least one of those completed at GBP24.95 + GBP8.95 shipping. (Royal Mail International). I dunno. If someone's willing to pay ~US$42 for 1 disc, they're just "not enough" of a Bowie fanatic to go all in? Book from the upcoming CD box, from the same seller, would set a US buyer back another $35. So, $77 for two items from a $109 box. This is where I got my Parlophone math from: if one is pursuing 3 items seriously, just go for the whole thing and make your life easier. (Edit: $30 for "Dance", you say? A bargain!)
I'm guilty as charged for one of the £24.95 discs. It's free UK postage though so it's either £25 or £100 for the box. Since I'm happy with my original cd and dvd versions I'm going to let this one pass. (I also finally caved in this week and bought ANCIANT on vinyl so I've already broke my weekly Bowie allowance). I did wonder if I should wait and see if I can pick one up cheaper after Friday but I don't think that'll be the case based on the previous boxes. There is an auction for one but it's already up at £20.
Yeah, Foxx is really low profile, yet very good at what he does. A kind of obscure, yet simultaneously famous, person! Like say, Lee Ranaldo of Sonic Youth... really prolific, makes brilliant music and interesting music that hardly anyone seems to talk or know about..
Lee Ronaldo is massively underrated. I've always thought he wrote the best songs in SY and his version of Revolution Blues is up there with the original.

Thanks. The Loving the Alien shirt sucks. The tote bag is nice. I wouldn't say no to the vinyl although I have those on vinyl already. The best thing I get a 10% discount for the new boxset. Thanks again
Indeed, and for several years he dropped out of the music scene, and instead concentrated on operating a European digital stock photography business. As you can tell from his album art including booklets like the one included in The Garden LP he was heavily into photography, graphics, and ghostly images, parallel to that kind of imagery in his many of his lyrics.
Yeah, I have a lot of respect for all of ex Sonic Youth (despite the fact one of my other favourites, Mark E Smith, hated them!), but I absolutely love Ranaldo. His non SY catalogue and performances/work are so interesting, so good. His SY songs awesome as you say: eg Wish Fulfilment... Mote....
Still showing as arriving tomorrow for me, but I’ve noticed a lot of other new releases now have a delivery date several days after the record comes out so I’m increasingly going to physical record shops for my listening needs.
Please vent to [email protected] . Mr Bezos won’t reply but does read his emails. Enough protest may break this rediculous exclusion of Australia from the world for Amazon.
No it won't. Amazon can do whatever it wants at this point and Jeff Bezos doesn't read his email address. One of his many secretaries does, and filters appropriately.
Regardless of your assertion, I have had some positive results, including numerous phone calls from Executives by emailing that address.
Mine still showing as "arriving tomorrow", with no shipping information. A little worrying, but we'll see. I'd of thought it would have shown as shipped by now. EDIT: Whoa. Just checked my bank account. Amazon has taken its money, which usually only happens when something has shipped. Is it possible it has shipped, but they've not updated their site, or do they sometimes take the money a little early for pre-orders...
Mine is still showing as arriving tomorrow by 11pm...I don’t think the neighbors will appreciate hearing Dancing In The Street at midnight, or even any other time for that matter
Same. I've also got a pre-order in for MassEducation by St. Vincent which streets tomorrow too. Same deal: "Arriving tomorrow" status, credit card charged, no shipment info.
My amazon-order also still shows the delivery tomorrow till 11PM - which is strange since I paid the 5 Bucks more for morning express... Starting to get worried...
