Hi Paul talking of release dates I got my copy of mott the hoople mental train delivered Saturday anybody else?
My copy arrived on friday courtesy of amazon france; which was a pleasant surprise.
Hi Paul thank you very much for sending out the “Out This Week” feature, it really helps me prepare for imminent arrivals! I do have one request/suggestion, might it be possible have the “release date” of each product listed right at the beginning of the description? Sometimes I only need to know the release date and don’t need to click on the page again. Thanks for your consideration!
By definition, the release date for music products is the Friday. So everything in the list today should be out on Friday 26th Oct.
Ah, that’s true. Thanks Paul!
Ummm. Being picky but both Culture Club and Blondie announcements should be in the list since they are not out this week.
Blondie is out on Friday, isn’t it? What’s happened to Culture Club… has that been delayed?
It’s out the 26th. I hope that if you purchase it Paul I hope that you do a review. Love 2nd album but otherwise I only love some songs.
