Saint Etienne WAMBSE US Edition ordering process: travesty#2
Posted: Wed 28 Nov 2012, 10:29 pm
When STE started doing their deluxe or rare releases and making them available to order on some website at a specific hour years ago it was a disaster. The site crashed because of all the fans who wanted to order. Then as time and releases went on, probably because they were then released by Universal through their store, things got better.
But now, maybe because it's not a Universal item, the US version of their last album is available through some never-before-heard-of site which basically crashed 15 minutes before the opening of the orders. It's been more than 4 hours now and I have only managed to put the cd in the basket.
The band have sent some messages on that **** twitter blaming modern technology! Hah, if they choose amateur sites that cannot handle the volume of visitors they very well know they will get, it's ONLY their fault.
It's so frustrating, I'm gonna give up real soon. They should be ashamed.
No, I'm not grateful that they are offering some copies on the site instead of just selling them on their US tour. Alone that would have been a great f*** you to their fans who cannot travel to the US to purchase a bloody cd.
STE you better step into the 21st century!
