Apparently some advance copies at £12 are available here.

I ordered a copy yesterday, they shipped it this afternoon :)

Anyone know if there will be any differences in the UK promo CD than in the US version (other than the release date)?

artwork? liner notes? tracks?

Just got my copy today. Looks like a single - no artwork other than the now-famous front cover, no info except the tracklist and some details on the cd itself. Normal for a promo copy, I guess.

Needless to say I also ordered the 15-track Japanese version :)

I've already listened to it twice and I still don't know what to think of it (which is generally a good sign, btw). All I can say by now is that it's elegant, very 'professional', and different enough from the leaked version to justify its purchase. Also, I must add it sounds crystal clear without sounding 'sterilized' and overproduced.

Elegant is good! Thanks for the report, Frog.


I still believe in the excellent joy of the Catholics

Hey Froggy (I hope you don't mind me addressing you as Froggy, it's the Brooklyn in me that wants to add a "y" or "eeeee" sound to names of people I enjoy speaking to)

I checked your link, albeit late as I am, and I couldn't find Honeycomb, I guess they took it away until the official release date...or can you still find it there, 'cause I can't.

No problem, Oldmany :)

I wonder who would be interested in buying a promo copy after the official release date - not me anyway :)

I think they've already sold all the copies they had.

But it would have all that cool writing on it, about how you can't sell it!



I was all out of luck, like a duck that died. I was all out of juice, like a moose denied.

I didn't notice anything like that.

Really.

Ahem.

You don't know how right you are about the artwork, K. I won't spoil it for you, but the inner pictures are... well you'll see!
