Funny kind of yellow ;-)
When ordering from SDE do you pay inadvance or on shipping ?
Payment is taken at the time the order is placed.
Thanks.
Dropping the ‘The’ was career mistake.
Yeah, didn’t work for The Pink Floyd either.
Yes, that’s a nice package and I’ve ordered it from SDE.
What we really need is an affordable CD option, perhaps a reprint or expansion of the old deluxe edition…
Just fantastic. This could have been a 3 disc with the BBC sessions and Gloria etc. But that’s ok as it’s all available. What a great record!
I hope it sounds better than my 2cd! Looking forward to this one :)) Ordered!
The 2CD Deluxe Edition really needs a reissue.
Agree!!!
