I think it's just a bit more silence at the beginning of the track (on NT).

*Edit*
Actually I take that back, just played lossless CD rips one on top of the other. I think there's maybe a tiny bit of jiggery-pokery going on somewhere with the timing, maybe an tiny bit of time stretching. Not that you'd notice unless comparing the tracks directly. Weird if the NT version is ever so slightly slower though. Also, my automatic BPM analyser has the NT version at 95.81 BPM, and the original TIMTTMY/CD One Single version is at 95.99 BPM. Odd.

*Editx2* And the Forever Delayed version is 95.79 BPM, even slower than the other two. So NT is in between. Really odd.

Just received mine today (the 29th) -- and I only ordered it on the 21st -- so it got here fairly fast.

I'm sure this has been mentioned (and, once again, I'm too lazy to look through all the posts to see if it has or not), but I was delighted to find that the DVD plays on our DVD player. Woot!! I can watch it on our TV!!!

I wasn't expecting it to work on the DVD player because it used to be that DVDs from the UK weren't compatible with Canadian/North American DVD players. (I ordered the Deluxe version because I hoped I'd be able to watch the DVD on the computer. So this was a pleasant surprise. Hurray!)

Porco - cheers mate, i could "detect" a difference but couldn't work out what, thanks for showing i am not mad!

Cara cathau - the majority of DVDs that come with albums are NTSC, there's more likelihood of the ones you have bought from the UK working on your equipment than on UK machines!

most DVD players are "multi format" and convert anyway, and these free discs are either multi-zoned or zone free. order away!

i saw on the news this morning that Sting has threatened/please let it be a promise to give up on releasing albums and from now on shall only release "apps" for iTwat devices.

if there were not already enough reasons never to purchase any shitty iTwat products then this is surely the best yet.

Yeah I was expecting a huge drop this week but only dropping 4 places means it probably sold roughly the same as it did the previous week, which is good. The album was never going to be a huge success instantly but if it carries on nice and steady over time it'll sell plenty of units

Dropped a bit this week to #82. Considering how high general sales are during Christmas the album is doing well to be selling a good number every week to stay in the charts Maybe after the O2 gig it'll make a few more people grab a copy before Christmas or in the new year

Just saw the MP3 version of the album on Amazon has risen up to #7, I assume that's a boost coming after the O2 gig! Good stuff.
