As the only outstanding order I had with them was the New Order box set, bought direct from Rhino for the sole purpose of getting the bonus disc with the leventy-leven minute version of "Elegia," I was puzzled. Unless the CDs and packaging were made using some sort of cutting-edge rice paper technology (using handmade digital coding; sweatshop workers in Shanghai painting 1's and 0's at microscopic level -- the ultimate in copy prevention!), this package couldn't possibly contain the New Order set. Heck, it didn't feel like it could contain ONE CD. Turns out the package had the bonus disc only (I had no idea it'd be in separate packaging!), with a note saying that the box itself had been backordered. Bonus disc is in a sleeve rather than a jewel box or digipak, which helps explain the feathery weight of the package it came in. Since I have almost everything in the regular box, I'm about halfway tempted to cancel my order now. :-) Anyway, did this happen to anyone else? later, Miles ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 15 Jan 2003 09:33:10 -0800 (PST) From: "Pete O." Subject: Re: [loud-fans] New Order order I bought the import (UK) version back in December. The bonus disc was in a cardboard sleeve, tucked in with the booklet/liner notes. I assume that it's packaged this way so that there's no need to change the packaging for later versions which don't include the bonus disc. - --- Miles Goosens wrote: > So on Monday, I got a small, light package from Rhino.

Maybe those people already know this. But here it is, from the monthly Absolutely Kosher newsletter... - ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Wed, 15 Jan 2003 11:40:30 -0800 From: Cory Brown To: home Subject: OPT: Absolutely Kosher Records update - January 2003 - - snip - THE WRENS ARRIVE EARLY AT THE MEADOWLANDS The limited edition version of The Wrens' new album, The Meadowlands is selling like hot cakes and it still won't be ready for a few more weeks. This definitely sets a label record as far as pre-orders go. This is the special pre-release version for the band's longtime fans and anyone who wants to get on the bus early before the world follows suit. The "value added" version of The Meadowlands will come in special hand silk-screened packaging and will contain the entire album plus four extra tracks (dating from 1992-1997) that will not be on the commercially released version. The special version will be limited to no more than 1000 copies and will be available only through mail-order. You can pre-order copies now through our merchandise page and reserve yours today! (Boy, that sounds so snappy.) The commercial version will be in stores around May/June. You can now find a (fairly minimal) Wrens page on our site. - - snip - ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 15 Jan 2003 14:21:50 -0600 From: Miles Goosens Subject: [loud-fans] Re: New Order order At 01:10 PM 1/15/2003 -0500, Aaron Mandel wrote: >I count only four or five released b-sides that they left out (that I know >of) -- they could easily have made the bonus disc exhaustive on that >count, and I don't know why they didn't. But so it goes. I thought when Springsteen's TRACKS was announced that it would, at minimum, collect all the released b-sides, most of which haven't ever been on CD, but it didn't come close. Not that I'm complaining, exactly, as TRACKS was entirely non-album material, but it still would have been nice to have every official b-side on a legit CD. I also wish that there'd be a collection of Prince 12" mixes and their b-sides. The mixes on the b-sides disc of THE HITS/THE B-SIDES were all 7" versions, and the world absolutely requires the long versions of "Erotic City," "La La La, Hee Hee Hee," and "Hello" on CD. Some things (the long "Erotic City," the 12" mix of "Let's Go Crazy") have been on European CD-5 releases, but it's still a fugitive sorta substitute for what could be a really nice compilation. later, Miles ------------------------------ End of loud-fans-digest V3 #14 ******************************
