When ordering from SDE do you pay inadvance or on shipping ?

Éamonn Ó Catháin

Thanks.

Dropping the ‘The’ was career mistake.

Jules(Rules)

Yeah, didn’t work for The Pink Floyd either.

Paul Wren

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…

Mike T

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!

Peter

I hope it sounds better than my 2cd! Looking forward to this one :)) Ordered!

The 2CD Deluxe Edition really needs a reissue.

Agree!!!
