What's a FEW MORE DAYS, KID?

A month plus constitutes more than a few days, but I hear you!

 

[DuncanS]

Shows one shouldn't sit near a naked flame after beer and a curry!

Now the delay is official on amazon.co.uk where I have my preorder

This delay is painful to say the least. Anyone hear the reason for the delay?

 

[H.A.L.]

Who cares about a delay if it is really going to come out soon -- how long have you waited for other things?

That’s great to hear! Didn’t order mine from Burning, but hopefully it means mine’s on the way soon too.

I ordered from ImportCDs, no shipping notice yet.

I'm away for a few days (Been to the Magenta 20th Anniversary gig) and mine is waiting at the sorting office for me to collect when I get back home.

What was the gig like?

 

[svengaleekie]

Yes very good indeed, had only a couple of words with Rob and his brother Steve as the where very busy with preparations, The venue was the biggest I've seen them at (320 capacity) Peter Jones of Tiger Moth Tales & David Longdon of Big Big Train joined them on some songs, they had film and graphics projections behind them, and live action on stage too, very imaginative, Greg Spawton (Big Big Train) was in the audience. it was all videoed and recorded, so look out for that being released in due course, I'm looking forward now to their gig in Acapela Studios Cardiff, and of course Big Big Train in Newport, I've scouted out that venue already as it will be the first time I've been there.

I'm out-of-town and also ordered from ImportCDs. I too have yet to receive a shipping notice. WTF!!!????

I ordered mine from them as well, and their website shows the release date to be May 31st.

I think burning shed jumped the gun on this one, I ordered direct from cherry red records and they have not dispatched yet and are still showing as released on may 31st

Remember that I'm overseas from Burning Shed -- due to the pace of overseas shipments, mine may actually arrive on May 31st!

I've received mine (Burning Shed)... sounds great, but one odd thing... the box is a different size than the Sunburst Finish box! Wierd...

Pics!!

Why is it odd or weird? Yeah I know that the Tull boxes are now all the same size but it really isn't out of the ordinary for box set packaging to be different.

 

[H.A.L.]

Well, I guess Burning Shed _did_ jump the gun -- guess what package was awaiting me this afternoon?

I'll try to post pics later if no one else does. In the meantime, I put it next to the SUNBURST FINISH, and apart from the new one being maybe a quarter inch (or less) taller from top to bottom, they are otherwise the same size! They will stick out of the bookshelf at the same width.

I've had mine about a week (from Burning Shed) but I haven't been able to listen to it as I've been away helping look after my mother who is just out of hospital and who is improving daily as she keeps telling me off ! She's 90.
