I think it was clear from the start that the 3CD won't include the booklet. There was an entire explainer on Instagram with the exact purpose of clarifying what the formats are and their contents. The store images only show a booklet for the Blu Ray set and vinyl too.

Where did you order from? Every major retailer is showing it as being in stock, as is the official store.
From an online retailer in Denmark, the whole of Scandinavia had problems, and parts of Europe, so they are trying to get Stock from the U.S.

The problem by ordering from the U.K is customs fee and a large “handling “ fee from the Post Service, which you can’t escape, tried to Order from Germany, but they couldn’t deliver it because of not receiving the stock they were promised. And just checked again today, it is in stock now, but they can’t/won’t deliver to my location :wall: :wall:

I live in NYC and ordered, as I often do, from fnac.com in France. Shipped Wednesday, arrived yesterday. Impeccably packed as always, and they take out the VAT which finances the shipping costs (DHL). I can highly recommend them. But the vinyl version seems to be sold out. I received the vinyl (black) as well as the box with bluray. Gorgeous looking, can't went to dive into the booklet.

There does seem to be a lot of disruption to the supply chains of all physical media at the moment. Vinyl especially.

Add Brexit bureaucracy and costs, and Putin's vain mass destruction project and it all becomes very difficult to move things around Europe.

You should have a U.S flag, instead of the Danish one, skulle du ikke 😉

Du har ret :-) but I'm still a Danish citizen (although now also American!)!

Oh you have dual citizenship that was only changed recently. before you had to give up on your Danish one. That could be a difficult decision to make.

I don’t think anyone would assume that a CD release wouldn’t have a booklet. I can’t think of another release that includes a booklet in come formats but not others.
