Mail from HMV:

I can confirm that, whilst stocks are limited and not exclusive to HMV, your order will include the much talked about bonus fifth disc and the current scheduled release date is December 12th.I hope you enjoy it and thanks again for your order.Kind regardsCarole Hall

very similar to the mail I just had :)

dec 12, now???

AFTER the canadian release?

i suppose i can see if the hmv 333 yonge st (toronto) has the ltd edition, if so, cancel the uk order before it ships.

what am i thinking? if the uk is being delayed, then the canadian release date will be too.

god damn, new order.

Still listed for December 10th in Canada...

If there is a delay in the UK, it's probably because of the bonus disc.. so if it's released in Canada on the 10th, you can have doubts it will contain the 5th disc.

Well, if it contains the 5th disc, I'll be able to cancel my order indeed...

I've received an e-mail like the latter Nicolas, it seems an automatic generated e-mail addressed to everybody who pre-ordered "Retro". Great news to someone who paid £16.99. ;)

I got the email as well confirming the bonus cd, and my order was done at the 16.99 price in case anyone was wondering. I bet HMV is sick to death of hearing us complain about it, hence the automatic emails.

Great news...I too received an e-mail from HMV.co.uk confirming the additional bonus fifth disc. This will truly be a special holiday season :clap: for New Order fans barring any further delays :wink: .

Next New Order album should be called "Result".

WE ALL OWE JS HERE - NICE ONE JONATHAN !

How did you guys get it at 16.99??

29 Nov 2002, 23:50

BTW David Sultan said on the Ceremony Mailing List the US edition might have the 5th disc too....

So how "limited" is this ?!?!?!

HMV originally mispriced/offered Retro at 16.99. I think that price lasted a week.

Just got the confirmation from HMV.co.uk too. :) :jump:

:xmas: Merry Christmas me! :moose:

okay. everybody quit bugging them so they don't change their minds! we are going to get the boxset for 16.99, plus the bonus disc. thanks, Fingers! :rolling:

notch one up on the positive side of the ledger. some longtime fans get a good deal. seems fair.
