So BOB was never released in the UK? Geez, Sony's screwing everyone over (except the Japanese), aren't they...though it looks like you UK fans have gotten the shortest part of the short end of the stick, what with the delayed release of TSI and never even getting BOB. And I'm sure you're probably in the same boat with the US fans over this "Water of March" (it AIN'T a bootleg!!) thing. We should change the name of this list to the "mutually miserable about CD prospects society." Anyway...still waiting to hear from CD Banzai. Toodles! BTW, welcome back to the list Diane!

The gentleman I spoke with led me to believe it's not in stock, though he didn't exactly know - they have thousands of CD's in their catalog. So, anyway, it may be up to six weeks for delivery. (I asked for second-day air, anyway.) We'll just have to sit back and wait now. There may be two unhappy souls on this list if it IS a bootleg (just kidding, Jeff), or we may all owe JS our first born for this discovery. We wait in hope...

Grrr...they better have it in ****ing stock, seeing as how I mailed them a money order and don't want to start a two-month long torture session of: "We don't have it in stock, so what else would you like? Well, we don't have that either, so what else would you like? Nope, we don't have that either, what else would you like?" Or did "not in stock" mean that they were going to order it? If that's the case then they're off the hook; after all, I really don't mind waiting 6 weeks for something that may NEVER be released here in the states. > So, anyway, it may be up to six weeks for delivery.

There may be > two unhappy souls on this list if it IS a bootleg (just kidding, Jeff), or > we may all owe JS our first born for this discovery. The only thing I can say about it is - for $40, this CD better be earth-shattering. But if it IS earth-shattering then that means that the execs at Sony (both here in the States (for being so obtuse) and in Japan (for being so spoiled)) are to blame and that Basia's transition into "Matt Bianco" anonymity (sorry, Dirk) has begun. Looks like a no-win situation to me. Oh, and BTW, it AIN'T a bootleg. Toodles! This is... ============================================================================= Like ohmigod!
