Are you sure?

I thought you were abducted and that's how you got them :p

14 Jun 2004, 10:11

Is that why it's soooooo small??? :cry:

14 Jun 2004, 11:03

it seems DJ Medusa is the first to get her cds. I guess because she live close to Baltimore :)

14 Jun 2004, 11:35

I wonder if you know how long such things take to get accross the pond? I suppose if you're in Baltimore that's good, it'll spend less time in the US internal post :-) Mind you, thank $DEITY that I live in Northern Ireland and not the republic. I once sent 2 cd's one to Co. Cavan ( bout 80-100miles) and one to tenessee. Gues one got there first!!!

14 Jun 2004, 11:36

Our cds have arrived (6/14)..... yippee!!! They look and sound wonderful. I hope everyone agrees! :nod:

They should be in the UK within a week. THat is what the post lady told me

We took a copy of Community to WWVU FM the WVU college radio station (George dj'd there and still is good friends with the General Manager... ) Not that I'm an REM fan really, but WWVU was one of the first to break them into the college intellect back in their early days, so they have a good reputation as far as a college station goes... Hopefully, we'll get some air time, and maybe get into the lists as a station "favorite?" Who knows?? We could get reported to CMJ or something. You never know!

14 Jun 2004, 12:23

Thanks Rachel!

I'm glad your cds arrived safely. I really appreciate the work you guys put in for this project! :D

Actually, most of us are tunesmiths anyway, so really it was a piece of piss for most if us ( though I'm sure there were some for whom this was there first musical effort, and big respect and kudos to em)...... YOU guys on the other hand.....ever done a major international talent contest before? or squared up to music copyright law, or indeed conceived, guided, organised and released (on time!!!!!) a major tribute album involving dozens of artists from every line of latitude and longitude on the globe ( not going to fall for the "earth has corners" flame :) ).....nope?...and yet you managed to get this all right on the first time.

I say, you should stop blowing sunshine up all our arses and take the time to pat yourself on the back.

THREE CHEERS FOR THE NOOL POSSE!!!!!!!!!!!!1

14 Jun 2004, 12:43

Hum... but we do have one error on the final product though :p

Nobody's perfect, I won't tell you what it is, you'll find out sooner or later... ;)

14 Jun 2004, 15:56

14 Jun 2004, 15:59

Great! it made it to florida! that means a lot more people probably got their copies also!

14 Jun 2004, 16:53

Just got home Micheal, and guess what was waiting for me in the mailbox? :clap: The packaging is indeed very well done, love the retroforward logo as well. Gonna crack open a couple of cold ones in a few minutes to enjoy the fruits of labor from all concerned. Well done again on this project:)

14 Jun 2004, 17:10

So it made it south and west...

That was quick!

Now, let's make it north :evil4:

14 Jun 2004, 23:41

I'm fooking chuffed now...

Dammit!!!!

15 Jun 2004, 05:26

has anyone in the uk got one yet? some items i got from the states arrive in a few days. just wondered. will let everyone know when they reach the uk. regards :nuts:

15 Jun 2004, 07:43

:jump:

:jump2:

Just got mine! That's what I call service, especially as it seems at times that carrier pigeons are still used by the postal service over here. :D Just listened to the EP, have to say that Nemesis' cover of Crystal is quality. :bow:

I probably won't get a chance to have a proper listen until the weekend, but in the mean-time a big well done/hats off/respect to all involved in the project. I can only imagine what it feels like to see all the hard work pay off in such style.

15 Jun 2004, 07:52

So now we know it made it to Europe!

I wonder if any of the Japanese and Australian member can tell us when they get their cds.

15 Jun 2004, 08:05

Of course, I could have driven to Mike's place and picked them up, and I'm sure I'll be the LAST to have them.

:nonono:

15 Jun 2004, 14:09

Mine just arrived, superb job on the cover/inlay design. Wonder if there will be future RETROFORWARD releases...

15 Jun 2004, 15:39

YIPPEE!

They've made it to Washington State.

Great job to all involved. I hope the barking dog who was crying for a refund spent his 20 dollars on something REALLY REALLY IMPORTANT. Personally, the extra wait meant absolutely nothing. Patience is a virtue etc.

Congrats to the NOOL Community.

15 Jun 2004, 17:14

Another one to Washington State!

[see review in "official Community review/bullshitting" thread]

16 Jun 2004, 01:54

WOOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Community has reached the anus of the universe that is Bangor, Northern Ireland, UK!!!!!!!!!!![1] My bought set and my artist's freebie arrived safe and sound, just got to unfaith, will review later, SO impressed so far ( mind you , I aint heard the SNSS yet :) )

[1]..That's UK, not IR, although it all depends who you ask and we don't expect anyone else to have to understand our F*d up little religious war. To be honest I don't give a monkey's I'd always say I'm Irish not British, but I'm quite happy being in part of the UK. Best bet is always list those of us from " the little bit of Ireland that passeth all understanding" as NI. ( Eddie Irvine Begged the FIA to let him be listed as such, because no matter whether an Irish or British flag were raised, there would be hell to pay from some retard with a cause). The point is, that I couldn't care less, but there are some serious sisterf*ers in this country and they do care sadly :( End rant.

16 Jun 2004, 03:24

Mine has just turned up in the UK - yipee

16 Jun 2004, 05:37

If I don't get it today, I'll always wonder if Tim's postman made it here.. :skeptic:

Speaking of which, I'm sorry Tim, I noticed yesterday I still used Known Pleasures everywhere on this board! But I believe the name has been changed on the EP (and album for the thanks)

16 Jun 2004, 05:43

Belgium calling here. Hadn't expected it to arrive so fast! :beer:

16 Jun 2004, 06:31

couldn't contain myself, and phoned home ... Deek has just confirmed there's a package for me ! :jump:

16 Jun 2004, 06:35

The CDs made it to Montréal

16 Jun 2004, 08:57

Mine was in the mailbox this morning...which means it was probably delivered Tuesday...I couldn't bother to drag my lazy arse down the stairs on the off chance that it might be there!!!

16 Jun 2004, 14:11

Got both cd's this morn. Cheers Michael and well done to all concerned, a f&ckin brilliant achievement. :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap:

17 Jun 2004, 10:05

Got them this morning!!! I will try to write a review later this week.

17 Jun 2004, 12:00

Got (some of) mine today.

Now sit back with a beer, watch the rest of the footy with the sound turned down on the TV, the music turned up.

Life is good
