Knowingly delayed with the vinyl release on June 15.<br /><br />2) 3CD from Rhino, release date of June 8. I have sent them e-mail messages requesting to cancel my order, and have not received any response. I have also not received any correspondence from them regarding shipment.<br /><br /><br />I have received neither order, yet. (Well, I am at work today, so it could be on my doorstep.)<br /><br />Anyhoo, anyone want to place bets that the IDEAL COPY order will arrive before the RHINO order?! Hahahahah!<br /><br />In any case, I will be returning the Rhino order.Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13977819749160879253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1886767188052333210.post-8566010194182584932010-06-16T17:49:56.607-05:002010-06-16T17:49:56.607-05:00My Barnes & Noble shipment went from DHL to th...My Barnes & Noble shipment went from DHL to the USPS, and has been in my city for 2 days and they haven't delivered it yet.Jasonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16907376095067090756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1886767188052333210.post-14254567618699195532010-06-16T17:34:19.106-05:002010-06-16T17:34:19.106-05:00I haven't.

I am still waiting for my copy from Rhino, unfortunately; they really did drop the ball on this one. Normally, I would have picked up the physical release at Twist & Shout here in Denver (which they had and which I held in my hands) but I wanted that 3x3x3 sampler from Rhino. It's been kind of a buzzkill knowing I could have all ready bought the record and had it in my house but holding off becos of my pre-order.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1886767188052333210.post-12752549680544946142010-06-12T19:35:13.009-05:002010-06-12T19:35:13.009-05:00...i just want my damn copy from rhino already......i just want my damn copy from rhino already...Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13406007762889171740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1886767188052333210.post-75643726424614796612010-06-12T13:33:45.265-05:002010-06-12T13:33:45.265-05:00Oh, I see.Oh, I see.Andrewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12973170417248329544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1886767188052333210.post-47061124275049974372010-06-12T09:30:56.593-05:002010-06-12T09:30:56.593-05:00i don't know. it pisses me off immeasurably. i...i don't know. it pisses me off immeasurably. i think Robert only had instrumentals and wanted to add some song with vocals. and he probabily fancied singing the Glove songs. he betrays himself a little on the Glove booklet when he says "...singing songs that stayed in a drawer for 23 years...all very strange...". this has been debated A LOT on MFC and most fans agree with me. to me it's absolutely obvious. Robert had a different voice back then. compare Mr Alphabet Says for example, the old and the new. you really can tell the "demo" is new. <br />on these remasters he's basically singing over rough instrumental mixes. another example is Close To Me. he did put up the original demo with guide vocals (no proper words) on the Greates Hits microsite in 2001, then when the HOTD remaster came out he added new vocals over THE SAME DEMO. so we get a version with words and a guide vocal together. he's really doing weird things on these remasters.MarcoKitsunehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05405137646962892364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1886767188052333210.post-50984377981410771782010-06-12T08:49:18.792-05:002010-06-12T08:49:18.792-05:00That's fine if you believe that, but my proble...That's fine if you believe that, but my problem with it is why would they lie about it?

Maybe he had something to do with it?<br />There has been confirmation that Robert is secretly working deep inside the Obama administration experimenting with new ways to turn us all into communists through music.<br />And last but not least, there is new news that the Robert Smith we have always known and loved has never really existed. It's all been mind control experiments directed by the US government. The Cure was developed by the Reagan administration to study the effects of black eyeliner on the common male. They thought, at the time, that goth boys and girls might be a more effective killing machine along with the use of the music of the cure. <br />Just saying.Andrewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12973170417248329544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1886767188052333210.post-25458180903467973692010-06-11T11:38:10.888-05:002010-06-11T11:38:10.888-05:00TwilightKlass: All i can tell you is that Robert h...TwilightKlass: All i can tell you is that Robert has said the vocals weren't new, and this is what Steve Severin said about it, back in Aug. 2006:<br /><br />"All the vocals on CD2 are from 1983. I admit it is a bit confusing calling them "RS vocal demo" but this is how it worked.....<br /><br />All the Glove tracks were written in the studio (bar PMWK) so the music you hear isn't a demo per se, it's a rough mix of the final thing. Lyrics were written at different times in the procedings so whenever they were, Robert would do a "guide vocal'. That explains why some tracks are more developed than others. For instance, I hadn't written the bass parts for "LAA" when RS did the guide but the strings had been put on ORGY before he sang. Does that make sense?<br /><br />We could only find these versions on cassette and Robert did some extensive "soundsoap" work on them going as far as stripping out the vocal, treating it and adding it back in. We've obviously done a good job because so many people think it's all new!<br /><br />Whateverrrrrrrrrrrr.............it's 16 new tracks....you would think most fans would be leaping for joy, wouldn't you?"<br /><br />But that didn't stop all of the crazy conspiracy theories back then, and I doubt it will stop them now.Craighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17355214926335490436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1886767188052333210.post-49280558395597191192010-06-11T11:18:19.954-05:002010-06-11T11:18:19.954-05:00I know some people (quite passionately) are not lo...I know some people (quite passionately) are not loving the mix on ENTREAT PLUS. What do people think of the mix on the Dallas show playing at the DISINTEGRATION microsite? Does it sound like the original ENTREAT? Or more like ENTREAT PLUS? I'm not an audiophile, but I thought it might be an interesting point to debate (to CIVILLY debate).
