oh nooooo, I thought I made my decision (after days maybe weeks of thinking about it, pre-ordering and cancelling...) and finished ! and now again a new possibility , a new song...no, that is really unfair, no understanding anymore for the record company  :( .

Dont worry about this digital download, its just one song, doesnt worth cancelling other orders... It will end in any individual digital download, and if not LE has kindly offer to buy it for the rest of Europe...

For me it is pretty sure now that he has nothing to do with these exact decisions. He might tell them "These 20 are the ones for the album" - and then he gives them another "fistful" of songs (5?) and tells them "these have missed to get in my first choice, take them and see what you can do with them... "

And the  company and retailers get one song here and there to promote "their" special offer...

Sorry, but that shouldn't be the way to do things.
Much better would be for him to record 4 or 5 more song and release a TRIPLE album. Oh yeah  ;D

Not again! Didn't they learn from the GL sales?

I would think they were great and therefore they do it all again the same way? Apart from the GL Deluxe box, I always thought the album in general was one of his more successful ones?

GL was one of his successful albums, but not because all of the bonus content! We get a lifers had to buy three times the same number to get 3 extra songs! And now they do it again! To have all the available songs you have to buy the Deluxe version, The box set and the Amazon version! (And I don't want to buy this amazon thing because off the quality)

I wonder if Mark (The recordcompany)  is the only artist that works this way. Can anyone tell me if this works the same with 'for example' David Gilmour?

There is no choice for me than to get the songs 'a different way'. I'm sorry, but I am NOT going to spend 500 euro's on ONE single album and only because the record company wants to get so much money out of one album.. I really don't. They could have included all those songs in the super deluxe box. For the five live songs we have to buy the same album twice. Then there is another song at Amazon, a to have that one we have to buy the SAME album in full again... I get a little bit pissed about that...

I think that they lernt that if they put the deluxe edition inside the box, people will buy the box only.

If they put inside the box the standard cd, and the deluxe edition has material that its not in the box, people will buy the box and the deluxe edition.

They lernt that they losed money doing that with GL box...

Of course, I'll buy it!  ;D


On second thoughts - no, I won't!  If I could have bought just that track alone - yes!   I have ordered the 3CD album, but will not buy another album for just a 2.56 min track!  I have also rejected the Super Deluxe for the same reason - 3 songs for

It's indeed not nice, I bought all versions except the vinyl (which is in the box anyway) and now I have to buy another one.
By the way the 2 CD version is to give away, gift for a friend, because it's not useful for me when having the 3CD and box

Yeah, too many options. I think that record company will be disappointed that so few fans buy their Super Deluxe box. I think I will order 3 CD version.
