Just bought it from FOPP for £25.

Booklet's OK, not as much detail regarding recording dates, etc. as I'd hoped (unlike Heart & Soul) but some nice pics.

One thing that comes across is how much barney dislikes the early stuff as he thinks his vocals are rubbish in them. Really sad that as I think quite the opposite, his early vocals are much better before they became so 'American' sounding.

Just seen it on sale in HMV. Odd sticker on the front, says..'WAS £35.99 NOW £27.99'. A reduction on the first day of release??

Must be some explanation to this, but not sure what it is. Unless it relates to the pre day of release order price, but it's not what I've paid through HMV.co.uk so doesn't look like that either.

That must be the most expensive item ever in FOPP Bill. Don't get many FOPPs in England, mores the pity, they have an excellent pricing policy. Last time I walked into one was the Edinburgh store, in the summer. Only intended to buy Moby's '18' & walked out 70 notes lighter with 11 CDs in a bag. Quality consumerism.

It was reduced in Tower Records as well down to 30quid

I would have purchased from HMV but what with near breaking my ankle at the wkd their was totally no contest between saving 3 quid and suffering the agony of hobbling another 1/4 mile :D

Mine's a bit dinged. You can exchange at your local store though. Where it may be possible to act dumb about including the bonus disc only mentioned on the shrinkwrap.
