Paul,
Apologies if I’ve missed an explanation on another post, but have you any idea why the Crowded House 2CDs have been delayed a week and now to be released on 11th Nov?
Manufacturing issues? Or is it just that 11th Nov is a quiet day for releases!!
No idea.. I’m sure it’s just some logistical thing.
Save a couple of quid, too!
Absolutely gutted just got an email from Amazon stating HIPSWAY “Hipsway (Deluxe Version)” Estimated arrival date: Unknown. Considering it was supposed to be released today and they have left it till today to let people know is terrible customer service.
Should’ve done as I did in my earlier post. Posted yesterday, arrived today. Sorry for gloating! ;)
Just did that cancelled Amazon order stuff them.
Re: “Sophisticated Boom Box” disc replacement (it’s not mentioned in this post, but other thread now closed), will you be posting the Edsel contact details when confirmed, or should I be trying to get in touch with them now?
Yeah,will do.
Thanks, Paul.
I ordered the 2 Stevies through JB Hi-Fi (in Australia) – they’re now giving November 11 as the release date.
Has it been confirmed for certain that there will be no remastering involved for the main albums on those Crowded House reissues ?
Hi All, Thanks to Kauwgompie for the alert about the special Target {US} edition. Yes there are three extra tracks, from the deluxe US edition, but just looking on local websites here, and the deluxe version we are supposed to be getting in Australia, has 17 tracks, so we only miss out on the 18th track =”Touch of Grey”.
Hi All, Picked up the Bon Jovi CD today, and yeap, has 17 tracks. states deluxe edition {bonus 5 tracks}. :)
anyone know anything about the deluxe queen issue? Amazon saying not in stock and they don’t know if it will be again. I did have this with the Pure McCartney deluxe and they still got it to me so hoping this is just a glitch…….
@Andrew, I asked this myself on the Queen On Air post, but I guess nobody knows what’s happened. I had it ready to pre-order as a gift for someone, but it just has “unavailable” next to it now.
@eric – hopefully it’s just something that happens when they are not sure if they are able to fulfil any new orders (i.e. – if stock will be limited or not). As I said – it happened to my Pure McCartney deluxe set and it still turned up.
I hope it isn’t a permanent error – I lost my job a few weeks ago, and have a six month old daughter so I had to sell stuff to buy this – as a Queen fan for 30 years i couldn’t miss out. Will be gutted if I miss out again due to Amazon incompetence!
Occasionally this kind of weirdness has happened when they’re in dispute with a supplier too. Not sure it’ll be the case this time, but it has happened before where they’ve briefly stopped selling blu-rays from a particular distributor or albums from a particular label.
Well, I’m not getting Queen : On Air from Amazon. Not even “dispatching soon” yet. And I ordered on day that it was announced. Have cancelled, but Amazon have refused saying it is “too late”. Will make the one hour round trip to pick the box set and vinyl up from HMV in the morning.
Amazon are evil. Hate them with a passion!
I ordered the Hipsway one direct from Cherry Red because of Amazon’s mickey taking price.
This House Is Not For Sale from Bon Jovi is also available as a special edition through Target, a USA retailer, with 3 bonus track on top of the Deluxe Edition tracks. So 18 tracks in total. Here is the link:

For Bon Jovi :
The target is the same as Japan Edition or the Gemran Media Markt One…
That’s the house from The Outer Limits isn’t it?
