Out of interest... How much was the cheapest UK shipping?

Free from Rarewaves.

 

[JediJoker]

Surely, this will get added to Amazon.com (USA) soon, right?

...Right?

 

[Bluedemon25]

I'd love to know that too. Seems odd it would be on other country versions of Amazon but not US.

Just looked and it says "low stock" not sold out.

Yes, they've obviously be allocated more stock, as it's changed - doesn't even say "low stock" any more

I do like the new song betting this will be a very decent late period album

Of course the video shows a young girl dancing to images of the younger stones. Youth sells.
How about an 80 year old woman who grew up with the stones riding in a wheelchair accessible van waving her crutches slowly to the music while we see images of the stones wearing depends?

Oh, man, don't spoil the image.

On the official website its £54.99 for a CD, BD and some la-de-da booklet and box cover art! Seems rather expensive, even for as insane a disc purchaser as me!

Do they really need the money that badly?

I take it the Blu Ray will be in 5.1 surround? It doesn't say.

I take it the Blu Ray will be in 5.1 surround? It doesn't say.

Limited edition boxset includes the standard 12-track album on CD, a Blu-ray disc with hi-res 24/96 audio and Dolby Atmos versions of the album, a 64 page book with exclusive essays and photos of the band, and lenticular cover art.

I understand this to mean, Stereo and ATMOS Blu Ray. For those that do not have a ATMOS rig, playback will fold down to 5.1?

 

[Aging quadie]

Does anyone know what the 'bonus' track is on the Japanese edition? Is it a unique track or just an instrumental bed?

Cool article on the Stones and the new album. Some excellent guest appearances. Now I know what Hackney Diamonds means The Rolling Stones on Starting Up Again

What ever happened to the Stones use of innovative album cover art? Most of their albums are iconic with a few clunkers. Give us something controversial, hire a leading graphic arts team, for this one, what about a photo of a real crystal heart broken on the ground and maybe a nearby knife just for starters, and change that font!

Just remembering Sticky Fingers with that zipper (not the CD).... how cool was that!

I absolutely loved that interview.

I absolutely loved that interview.

He seemed very relaxed and open didn't he?

 

[James_in_VA]

I'll buy this if/when the price drops to $40 shipped and we get some reports from the "early adopters."

 

[GOS]

He seemed very relaxed and open didn't he?

Totally, down to earth.

 

[Blackwood]

Dang. Nothing like a good interview/promo to make one jump off the fence.

Never ordered from RareWaves before, but the Atmos version was showing as Available (for pre-order) and they had Apple Pay which meant my thumb spared me from typing anything in.

Kind of dangerous how easy it is to order something these days.

Just remembering Sticky Fingers with that zipper (not the CD).... how cool was that!

I still have that vinyl

Just remembering Sticky Fingers with that zipper (not the CD).... how cool was that!

Actually there was a special edition CD with the original (working) zipper - I have a copy.

Any update on this appearing on Amazon us for the CD plus Blu-ray set? Considering it was available on Amazon UK and potentially others I'm wondering why we're not seeing it on Amazon us. I'm hesitant to get it from the official Stone site with the rather significant cost and not expectation of any lowering to be competitive if it does appear on Amazon us so I'd rather wait for that listing to expected since we see it on other international Amazon websites. Any insight someone has would be appreciative if shared.
