possibly some of it but i imagine not all. i suspect, as it seems the norm with any DVD that comes with a CD these days, that it's NTSC and you have your TV and DVD set to PAL. mess around with the DVD and TV settings, you should find them under "colour" on any display menu. change "PAL" to "Auto" and the system should play it fine.

Thumbs up

HMV shipped my vinyl copy on the 30th but it didn't turn up until this morning. I also noticed a couple in the HMV in Sheffield yesterday so they are about.

*sigh*

another wasteful 30 minutes on the phone with the Post Office here to see if they could find my unregistered, tracking number free copy of this and no joy.

this is now over 10 day since shipping, at which MyPlay consider the item lost. i have then fired off another mail to them, saying how disappointing it is and it's caused by their lack of allowing you to choose other, better shipping options.

I listened to the entire set in its entireity last night. I would absolutely love for polaxed and spent all summer to be re-recorded and included on the next album or even as b-sides. There are quite a few of the earlier demos that I would love to see re-recorded. It's a great set and the Documentary was very good. Did anyone notice on the doc when the manics are speaking that there are potential song titles or lyrics pinned up on the wall?

I'm glad they cut the enormous, nervous solo out of the middle of Motorcycle Emptiness, and sorted out the order of the riffs... someone did good the day they finally sorted that song out.

I can only assume that this buyer couldn't afford to spend £45 last week.

That's a life in need of reorganisation.

Crap, now I'm nervous about mine! Ok, it's only been three days for me, but I'm always nervous about international orders! I wish they did give us a tracking number or something, would make things a lot easier.

Does it have the picture inner sleeves for the two vinyls like the original?

Thanks

I've picked mine up from Head in Bristol yesterday, I don't own the original one but here's some of the info you asked for: the vinyls come in plain inner sleeves, printed black, with the labels on the vinyls in blue (no. 1) and pink (no. 2). Gatefold sleeve and inner sleeves are made of fairly sturdy material. The gatefold has a collage of pictures of the era, designed for this edition I supposed. It comes with a 14-page, vinyl-sized booklet with new collages, essential info and an essay by Simon Price, no lyrics. Booklet is printed on decent paper, too. Apart from the Japanese re-releases probably the most beautiful little Manics artifact I've got my hands on. (The vinyls sound a tiny bit marvellous, too, imho, but L-O-U-D - Bradders must indeed be going deaf! ) Hope this helps!

yep, i would have happily paid a good deal more for an actual courier service or some sort of registered thing. this idea of handing it to someone who just shoves it in the normal post is fucking stupid.

Maybe MyPlay won't ship to their country? Can't think of any other sensible reason

I really hope there is truth in what Nicky tweeted as I had heard about this thing 2 years ago, absolutely gutted I may have missed out and don't want to pay 3 times the price!
