Not for you Major T.. but for the quote ;)

The german online-magazine www.intro.de also reports (in their latest newsletter) that there is going to be limited bonus-CD "Retro". BUT...I don't know if this is an official confirmation for germany or just a "copy & paste"-job from NOOL or worldinmotion.net or even the NME...

i spoke to a clerk at hmv-atlanta. they have no listing for the retro ltd edition, either domestic or import. he suggested calling an hmv uk store directly and ordering over the phone. the numbers for the stores can be found with the store locations on the hmv uk web site. i think i will wait and see a couple days before i pay international long distance. this might work.

I asked in the local (UK) HMV in person, and they only had the 'normal' retro listed on their computer, they didn't seem to know anything about the ltd edition.

David Sultan has just written in WIM that the bonus CD will be bundled together with the first 3000 CD's with no HMV tie in.

All together now:

Confusion, Confusion, Confusion

You cause me confusion, you told me you care It's calling the changes they'll last till the end Ask me no questions, I'll tell you no lies The past is the present, the CD is mine

CDR acetates;

These items are no more than cheap promos that scratch easily and in no way merit the vast sums charged over at EIL or Ebay - avoid.

"Vinyl" acetates;

These are aluminium discs coated with a thin layer of "acetate" or wax and carry the test pressing of a.n.other track for test-listening purposes. They last all of 2 plays accurately.

These are very rare as they cost a fortune to produce - usually only 1 or 2 would be pressed.

Shaun Carruthers = cock!

Latest on the "RETRO" bonus CD is that it IS an HMV tie in that SHOULD extend to all territories. Furthermore, despite the fact that the packaging was not designed for 5 discs, it will be included within the "RETRO" box....turgid...turgid...turgid...

Erk. sounds messy.

Is the glue for the CD holders going to be a bit better than heart&soul? mine fell to bits....

hi guys, i'm a long time forumer, first time poster...

so, is that 3000 spread out all across the world OR will it be the first 3000 for every country:

uk- 3000 france - 3000 canada - 3000

etc.

from hmv.ca website: "Thank you for your message.

We would like to inform you that we are in the process of checking with our suppliers to see if the item is available to Canada. We will notify you as soon as possible.

If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to reply to this message. "

Good job Nic, thats what Mod's are for

there was no need to sour such a positive and helpful thread.

im just as excited as (almost) everyone else about this upcoming treat :)

Nice one quarter to five!! :D

what do you think? preordering the retro box at amazon.co.uk what are the chances getting the extra cd?

well...i really don't know what to do. I pre-ordered "retro" from Amazon Germany where it's labelled as an UK-import. But, is this "HMV only" officially confirmed ??? I have a HMV in Frankfurt...damn...should i delete my order at Amazon? DAMN, I MUST HAVE THE LIMITED EDITION grrrrrrrrrr

Originally posted by Spotnick This thread is almost the most popular in NOOL's history. If New Order wanted to cause some interest, I think they did!

its also created about 20 new members in the last few days!

the tracklisting sounds suspiciously familiar though. kinda like what was posted in an earlier thread giving a "fantasy" retro tracklisting. in fact, exactly like if i remember correctly. hmmmm. either someone is finally listening to the fans, or this is all a hoax.

hi all -

i'm also hoping to get my hands on this...especially the limited edition. anyone know of ties to north america?

also, i'm really embarassed to ask, but...

what the heck is "hmv" :)

thx,

ted

ahh..thx happy one. as much as they were mentioned in this thread i thought they were somehow affiliated with NO.

H.M.V. = "His Masters Voice". The most famous record label in the world I reckon with the most recognisable centre labels of any record company - the one with the dog listening to the old 78 rpm "gramophone"...

Seriously? Or are you being British? Not that being British is bad... since I am that.

Unfortunately HMV only has stores in 4 different states in the US (Georgia, NY, Mass. and Ohio). So if the limited edition 5th CD makes it to the US through HMV they won't be widely available to most of us.

Hi fellow NOOLers:

I e-mailed HMV.ca about the Ltd Ed of Retro and received the following reply:

"Thank you for your message. The New Order "Retro/4 CD set" that is in your order is the only "Retro" CD that HMV.com is offering; we are unaware of any 'limited edition' printed sets. Nevertheless your item has 57 songs which include rarities, B-sides and live tracks."

I hope they have it or else I'll be mighty :\pissedoff:

Hello..new member to the board, long time NO fan. As a canadian citizen i do hope I get a chance to purchase the retro bonus set and not have to resort to ebay for it :|
