Very much ON topic. Yay! Hi all, I'm starting to wonder if anyone has any idea about what the real story is with the Ltd Ed of SW. I'm beginning to suspect the rumour that there were only 2000 copies sent to Aus may be true (& btw, are the Aus Ltd Ed's actually made here, or are they just imports of the US version?) ... I made the mistake of assuming I would be getting a Ltd Ed copy from a certain someone (OK, my dad) but I just got the regular copy... didn't discover my mistake til last Friday & hence spent the weekend contemplating whether I really needed the Ltd Ed, decided I did, & then spent some time making phone & web enquiries to record shops with no joy. (I ordered the US Ltd Ed from Amazon in the end.) Anyhow, I had some enlightening phone convo's with record shop assistants, including such comments as "Fucking Sony!!!" (in as many words) & a dude from the biggest Sanity store in Perth claiming (in very tired voice) "The record company only sent us one copy & that went straight away." So... what does everyone reckon? Has anyone else heard any interesting rumours? Did Sony order the deletion of all remaining Ltd Eds after last week, or what? (seems kindof dumb to me since they made an extra $15-$20 on selling the Ltd Ed as opposed to the regular album's RRP.) It must be the vestiges of my TAFE diploma of commerce, I guess, because I always find music marketing techniques very interesting. Henry. - -- "We're born alone, we live alone, we die alone.

Very much ON topic. Yay! I just got my copy on Saturday from Chatwood HMV, last one too. (thanks to the tip from Jules) Unfortunately, I didn't follow the oztori trend of opening the box at the store. So, I have no trinket. Oh well, I'm not going to bother going back to the store. Plus "Living in Clip" by Ani Difranco came in the mail today as well! I'm set.

Subject: [oztori] SW Ltd Ed I know Andrew has mentioned this, but I went to Borders in Bris on Saturday arvo and they have 1 copy of SW Ltd Ed left. It is $42.50 I think. Maybe those of you who don't have a copy yet might want to check out Borders, as it isn't known for being a CD importer so people wouldn't have gone there to get it. They must have got one in though. Just a thought. Not sure if any department stores got them in, but that might be worth a go too. ~Bindy Go to: http://www.livejournal.com/users/cancerian/ for Ramblings From The Moon Child _________________________________________________________________ Add photos to your e-mail with MSN 8.
