Damn that is cool. I'd like one, but don't want to order from that place.

works out to about £20 with shipping to the UK, not sure i will bother, with different colour vinyls, cd, promo cd I have Slang LP 6 times already, do I really need another one ?

I'm positively surprised that noone has moaned about this (yet), as re-issues with bonus tracks are a gripe of many people, me included (and Brian said last year that he wasn't keen on quick bonus re-issues either). In this case though, all the bonus tracks were available already, though not on CD (though I don't think TQoLC was ever offered as a free download, unlike AS and Boxer, assuming these are the KEXP ones).

Yep, I remember the chat we had with Brian and him saying exactly that about re-issues , think our chat started along the lines of She loves you not being on the album, can we find out if all the bonus tracks are the same versions ? Im not sure how well the album etc has done in Australia, I guess the arguement could be that this re-issue is only for the Australian market .

32 bucks to ship to USA....imma pass

Surprised they didn't include the Fake Problems cover on this release, since all we ever got was a low-quality mp3 of it.

Also, was the Antonia Jane (Lightning Dust cover) track available before this release?

good point; I don't think it was available other than as a boot

I know for a fact that it doesn't cost that much to ship to the US. Price gouging at its finest.

I listen to Antonia Jane all the time, it's gorgeous. Tried to listen to the original. Couldn't stand it.

arrived today

Did this have a new version of Antonia Jane, or was it like this radio show recording Brian did: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wHKg0BCDnN0

If so, where can I find it online?

Radio version still mate its not a studio one. The acoustics on disc 2 are form the same radio session see the audio master list its on there but can't just remember which show it was.

Ah, thanks.

Im getting this sent over for about £20, worth having in my collection Id say. One thing I would sya is that they could have picked better radio shows to include on the disc. As good as he performs Antonia Jane, he does go wrong with the lyrics. Similarly he also gets the lyrics wrong on Miles Davis and The Cool B side on Great Expectations single. Why include songs that he goes wrong on when there are so many other performances where he doesn't. They still make for good listening I guess...

Anybody know if this is likely to be for sale in New Zealand? I'm taking 4 weeks off work and doing a road trip out there starting at Christmas so I could pick one up (and maybe a couple more for anyone interested).

Edit - also found on amazon.co.uk for £16.35 incl UK shipping. The exchange rate's pretty poor at the moment.

Yeah I just got mine for around that price, received it yesterday. Its not wrapped but it looks in mint condition so I was chuffed. It took a month to get here though and I bought it from a seller on amazon, kinda like a music overstocks place so it sounf=ds like youre looking at the same thing as me.

Yea that sounds about right.

Its worth that much as I've wanted a CD version of She Loves You for a while and it meant I didn't have to bid on the Tumbling Dice promo which recently went on ebay for £18!

Hi.
I can´t find that one either at amazon or iTunes

Is it sold out or only available somewhere in Australia?
Where did you guys get it and can I get it there too right now?
Thanks for any help...

This this - AU$25 but free postage to Europe apparently. Pretty good price.

9 AU dollars postage

Hmm, not sure its worth AU$34 - great to have She Loves You on CD but I wasn't that impressed with the acoustic versions of the other songs.

If you want it, its not THAT much to pay for an out of print CD I guess. And its only going to get harder to come by.

Thank you guys!

Just ordered...
