How many hours of productivity were stolen from employers today by folks trying to order this while pretending to work?

but the angst and time spent make it that much sweeter when the order goes through.
Now I wonder if it is poor performance or by design.

A BRILLIANT rebuttal, Eric. I was likewise gratified that not only are the Stereo remasters 24/192 but the 15 ips QUAD remixes, as well. And QQ Forum must be doing something right as this 4.0/5.1 and NOW, Dolby Atmos fervor is spreading throughout the globe and there's certainly enough space on Planet Earth for both Stereo and Surround to co~exist ..... FOREVER!

Thank you @4-earredwonder !!

Slow in Australia as well, but got the order in after about 20 mins. The coupon code worked as well, so yay! International shipping was $15.99. I was going to order two (one for a mate) and shipping for 2 sets was the same as one, so it effectively halves the cost. Despite the lower than expected RRP, the 20% off code and the half price shipping bringing the total to AU$78 he still passed. There's no pleasing some people...

Took about 8 retries, Website kept going back to previous pages, but I have it pre-ordered at last! Can't wait!

That's the spirit

We are all spoiled little brats ☺

Pre-ordered as soon as I saw the post (didn't see the problems till after)...no problem with Rhino site, in-ordered-out-now the good wait begins

 

[LuvMyQuad]

It finally went through. It took 6 attempts. The last one flew through in a few minutes and I had the confirmation email as soon as i got to my inbox. go figure.

 

[4-earredwonder]

Geez, Pupster, why don't you use that 12 bucks you saved utilizing that RHINO coupon code to GET A FREAKIN' HAIRCUT?

Pupster, IN MY BOOK, you'll ALWAYS be a 'CUT' ABOVE THE REST.

And while you're at it, treat yourself to a manicure and a pedicure ..... and a flea bath!

I ordered one copy from Rhino and another copy from the Doobies store.
I want to see which one gets to me first, and then I'll cancel (or return) the other one.

 

[jefe1]

I got confirmation that Gos's credit card went through and I will be receiving two copies. Can't wait!

 

[edisonbaggins]

It took me quite a few web site refreshes to get my purchase to go through. If I receive 5 copies, oh well!

 

[atlantasteve]

Ordered from the Rhino website with a 20% off points redemption. Total with tax and shipping came to less than $60. Eazy Peazy.

 

[MIDIQ]

Ordered. Can't wait. Great price!!!!!

Ordered.

Great to see they’re shipping to AU, although there was no option for courier shipping. My last shipment from US took 5 weeks... I also have something coming from Sydney and now been over 3 weeks (less than 1000km).

I added a comment to The Second Disc in response to that curmudgeon:

"The key here is not desperation but wanting the best possible sound quality that we can get. Here is a great opportunity not only to have stereo versions at 192/24 but also the 4 channel mixes from the master tapes. The last time any of these albums had audiophile treatment was the fantastic DVD-audio of The Captain and Me, now long out of print, not easy to find. In addition, the Quad mixes to these albums were no joke, fully discrete all 4 channels lighting up the sound stage. But even for someone not interested in the Quad, this stereo version of these will likely be the best we will ever get of these albums, bar none."

Thanks to Eric--and the subsequent commenters--for outing the OP as a know-nothing. What got lost in the noise generated here by that comment-troll is how good Joe Marchese's review is. (As @privateuniverse pointed out in another thread, Marchese also did a nice write-up on the latest Dutton releases, with special emphasis on Company and A Chorus Line.) Smart, informative, and snappy. Dude knows his Broadway--and his Doobies--and he's a really good writer.

I ordered INXS on 28 July from JB. Shipped from Melbourne to Sydney, it arrived today.

Well I ordered Yes' Tales from the UK on the 15th of May and it's never arrived. Last night I received a reply to tell me that I will get a full refund but I still want the disc! I'll give it another week or two and try again
