Missing Retro bonus disc

I've been searching high and low for a copy of Retro with the bonus 5th CD for a "normal" price. I actually bought a copy in Tower that had a sticker saying "includes bonus 5th disc" but it didn't, and then i checked another one at HMV to find the same.

I've got a theory that they put the wrong stickers on: the "bonus CD" ones intead of the "contains blah blah songs" ones, and that only the ones with BOTH stickers have the bonus CD inside...

Am I way off? Can anyone else shed some light on this? I can't really keep going into record stores and ripping the plastic off to see

I really want that boxset :(

It might be worth trying: Selectadisc 34/35 Berwick St. Soho, London, England, W1V 3RP Tel: 0207 734-3297 Fax: 0171 734-3298

I'll gladly send you a CD-R copy, if that's enough for you.

I've tried there already...sold out :(

the only store in Berwick street with it is Reckless and it's a pretty grubby looking second hand one

Thanks for trying though

And thanks for the offer of a CDR...but it's not the same, sorry! *tries not to sound ungrateful* :p

Do not worry 'Mina', we will get you a copy by hook or crook!

I will have a look around, be prepared to pay up to £10 though.

I've got a version of Retro with a 5th CD containing only the 30 minute long extended version of Love Vigilantes. Is it the one you've been searching for? :D

Are you Silent Bob then? I did wonder if you didn't visit this place...

hey, the 5th disc included a 17 m version of Elegia but no Love Vigilantes. I would love to hear a 30m Love Vigilantes, surely it slows to a crawl after 15 minutes as the band gasp for air!

You do have the same name though :D

Kevin Smith's profile

Like me, he is also on the tubby side and has a German mother. My Q4music.com name is indeed Silent Bob as correctly spotted earlier in this thread.

It was down all weekend, server problems although it seems to be going a bit faster than it was, so no excuses now :)

Just to update you all on this...

I FOUND IT I FINALLY FOUND A 5 DISC RETRO :D:):D

Only £30 as well, brand new and sealed :D

I Music And Video Exchange at Notting Hill Gate

And it proved my theory right as well...this had both stickers: the "4 Disc CD set including Blue monday, regret, Crystal, True Faith and Temptation etc etc" one, as well as the "limited edition bonus CD enclosed with 9 exclusive tracks" one.

Both stickers = bonus CD

Just the bonus CD sticker = no bonus CD

I'm so happy

I can go to the main record shop in town and buy one. They still have a couple left. I'm seriously thinking of getting a second. It's not cheap though at $90AUD.

Cheers

Bumped to inspire and assist in Distant Sun's search :D

Don't give up! :)

.....if you can find a JB Hifi store or a DICK SMITH Powerhouse store, they probably have this 5-CD Retro for only AUD$69.........and stupid me, I bought 4 sets costing 20 bucks more EACH.....
