I even remember getting the confirmation that I had ordered it. Now I can’t log into the site (it won’t send the password change email), I can’t see any email confirmations, and nothing has come out of my bank account. Don’t know what’s going on. Thankfully, the hoodie and print I ordered have been despatched. Looks like I’ll be ordering the very plain and boring black vinyl set from Amazon instead. Oh well.
I had exactly the same scenario. Could’ve done the confirmation email at all. I knew I’d ordered it. Couldn’t
Find it. Panicked and ordered the black vinyl version for £99 from What Records.


Got official store shipping confirmation this morning! 😂😂😂
is is and isnt isnt

To those who have received their items- are you all located in the UK?

But I think we can demand Parlophone to do something about it and replace the disc.
oh shit.

So what about the discussion in the booklet? New, or taken from the further listenings / annually's?

I guess that it will end up on 17 place on UK Chart.

Does the CD only version not include a booklet?
Have just opened mine and there wasn’t one

Apparently Parlophone/Warner has messed up, my order for the vinyl was cancelled since, they did not receive the stock they were promised, and a lot of retailers has had the same problem, not enough copies were pressed up. They can’t get stock from Europe, so now they are trying to get some from the U.S I was told.

That’s just ridiculous. It’s the only reason I decided to purchase the release considering the lack of new content.

What's the point of thsi release if there is not enough copies on the market :mrgreen: :wall: ? It should be the only reason to produce such a pointless compilation - to flood the market with all the hits once again.

I have a feeling that in the last years everything goes wrong in terms of promotion, marketing. Probably since the infamous Yes screw-up when the album didn't enter top 3. No matter who is in charge.

Where did you order from? Every major retailer is showing it as being in stock, as is the official store.
Woof.
