I got an e-mail from cdwow saying that it had been out back till late January and then a follow up e-mail saying it had been removed from Emi's release calendar which could put it back as far as March-April which would tie it in with David Gilmour's new album.
Bummer , really, they've given us such a great year but it ends with bitter taste...
And what's the betting that the next announcement will be that it'll be held back until September to give Dave Gilmour's album a chance to get some decent sales? And then there'll be Roger Water's next album, and then maybe Rick Wright will have a new line in scented wallpaper coming out...
I was reading the reviews on Amazon and I guess it may have been released in other countries??? How else would there be reviews....anyway, one poster said it was 4:3!?!?!?!?!?
yep 4:3 and it was shot on video.But remember how good the Zepp dvd was and the source material was much worse. Supposed to be a 640kbps ( Dolby ? ) track on there too which should be interesting. If it's ever released that is ....
According to Play.com there is yet another delay on this title and now, if you please, it will be:
that's 6th March for those of you unfortunate enough to be saddled with an illogical dating system.
And I'll be amazed if that's the last of the delays.
Sorry, but for this release to lose its bitter taste of receiving it only when the almighty Floyd deigned to let us plebs receive it, the disc would have to be hand delivered by the band who would in addition have to play an impromptu set in my living room.
Oh come now andrew - we waited something like 3 1/2 years for the Running On Empty DVD-A after it was announced to be done the first time - and we've been waiting forever for Lamb Lies Down On Broadway SACD which is supposed to have been in the can for over a year as well. Now it seems we will wait longer until the rest of the 1970's Genesis material is finished (And Then There Were 3 is still to go) so they can release a 'brick' style set.
Do you think it is the Artists who are holding these up (some who actually appreciate their fan base and people who purchase their products), or the record companies to gain maximum dollar for their investment.......
I can wait longer for 'Pulse' - just give me WISH YOU WERE HERE on SACD first !!!
I feel very fortunate to have a very logical dating system and spell colour with a 'u'
This is really annoying (yes, I'm holding back on what I really think) - just give us the dvd, warts and all. We don't care that it might not be 100% perfect, or the blue sky on the cover may not be exactly the right shade of blue, or the front right-hand corner of the sleeve is not cut at exactly 90 degrees, or that the sound from the audience is mixed slightly low so that the guy in the 23rd row, Block F can't be heard saying to his mate "hey, this is good", or whatever other "quality" issue they might want to focus on.
I just got an e-mail from cdwow saying its been put back to 13/2/06 ( everybody got that ok
I tried to buy a signed copy of Nick Mason's book 'Inside Out' for the missus for Christmas from their site and pick it up at their management's office in London when I was over to see Porcupine Tree and they bloody e-mailed me to cancel that as well !!!!
I'm glad Gilmour's Royal albert Hall gigs are sold out , it'll save me asking !!!
And, according to recent David Gilmour interview in Rolling Stone, no reunion tour is planned. Gilmour is touring most of spring in support of his new solo album. That's not to say PF won't do some type of benefit concert later this year or early next. All of them have said they would be open to special charity performances now and then. But none has gone as far as to offer up the hope of a reunion world tour as many fans are deluding themselves about.
New date is October!!! is official is on brain-damage.co.uk
Somebody needs to start a petition or find an email / phone number for EMI to start sending letters to them - 9 month delay is beyond a joke - how can they have it ready for Dec 12, Dec 20th, Jan 16th, miss those with no announcement and now say October!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
