I'm in the US also...east coast...nothing in terms of a shipping email. Plus site won't accept my password so I'm trying to change it & not getting that email either! Feeling a little anxious lol!
All I get form the website is showing that the order is still "new" but nothing beyond that.

Only two c***-ups as far as I can tell so far: the 'edited' Being boring video they said had accidently been used, and the version of Love etc. is remastered from the remaster and not the original mix (has the full drums on the 'Gerhardt Richter' bit). Apart from that it is a lovely boxset to treasure.

Ouch. The Love Etc version is an awkward mess up - as it was on the Yes remaster. As with the different ending to 'I Want To Wake Up ' on the 'Actually' remaster, it makes me always listen to the original CD pressings as the definitive versions, despite the rereleases.

I live in a large urban area, just outside of London and no sign of my Smash order being delivered today. I regularly order direct from the PSB shop and I don't think I've evert had a parcel arrive on release day. :down: :down: :down:
at rock bottom :wall:

If I'm not mistaken Single-Bilingual is a different mix as well. Loads of extra harmonies especially on middle-8, different intro with crash cymbal and synth line is lower in parts. Actually sounds better but is not the single version.

I found another little mistake. Both blu rays have thumbnails of the video's, and both use a thumbnail from the second Opportunities video.
