Ideal Copy update

Update: More details about their bonus items here. (Thanks Chris)

From the Ideal Copy newsletter: "All customers who Pre-Ordered the domestic version of The Cure's Disintegration (Both 3CD and 2LP) will be receiving this very cool promotional poster from Rhino Records. We will also be including some Cure promotional posters from previous reissues with some orders as well as singles (both vinyl and CD) from their last two studio albums. The import EURO 3CD is IN STOCK NOW!"

  1. I feel totally bummed and stupid that I cancelled my pre-order here just for that stupid sampler from Rhino. Is it too late to reorder from IdealCopy?

  6. Brandon, I was told I was getting a cd single from the last album with my euro version. Not cool since I have them all already!

  10. It's not too late to pre-order from us and still get the poster. But don't wait too long - we probably will be out of posters by release date.

    And as far as bonus items that went out with the import versions last week - we thought we did a pretty good job of including posters or CD singles based on order history with us - if you had received one of those items from us before, we sent something else. if you had received said items elsewhere, we had no way of knowing that. Free is still pretty cool, right? And getting the import version 2 weeks early is definitely a plus.

  11. I received my EURO 3CD this afternoon from Ideal Copy (paid the extra buck for 1st class shipping). My pre-order bonus: a 5"x10" promo flyer for the Festival 2005 DVD.

  12. I received my import today. with a single of freakshow on vinyl. If I would have known I would have just waited the two weeks for the poster. My logic at the time of ordering was that paying the extra to get the import early would ensure I received the better of the bonus items. But to be honest freakshow might be my least favorite cure song of all time :(

  13. @Brandon i strongly dislike freakshow as well. and yet for some reason already own the cd single...

    anyway, i'll be getting the disintegration poster :). although i do also want a copy of the 3x3x3 promo... well, maybe i'll win a contest.

  14. speaking of the 3x3x3 sampler, has anyone received theirs from rhino yet?

  15. More details from the idealcopy.com forum page:

    Due to Pre-Order Changes, Cancellations, and Payment Declinations, we have around 30 of the Cure Disintegration Posters remaining (as of June 2, 2010). Order now if you still want one.

    Other Bonuses include (these are in addition to the Disintegration Poster):

    + More Cure promotional posters (Three Imaginary Boys, Top/Head on the Door/Kiss Me, Festival 2005) - those are going to customers who pre-ordered the earliest (AND hadn't received those posters previously).

    + The first 25 who pre-ordered both the 3CD and the 2LP will be getting one 7" Single for FREE (The Only One, Freakshow, End of The World).

    + One of the four CD singles from their 4:13 Dream album will also go out to some customers as well.

    + And a few surprises (We've sent out couple Cure Magazines from 1988-1992 to longtime customers)

    PLEASE NOTE: Not all customers will receive more than the Disintegration Poster - Priority goes to those who Pre-Ordered the earliest.

    The Poster is Free and will be shipped folded with your order. Rolled posters are an option - contact us if you would like a rolled poster. Rolled posters will most likely arrive after the album.

  16. Craig: just curious, did you not get my email this morning about this?

  19. my pre-order bonus? the only one CD single which isn't really a bonus or exclusive. hmmm

  20. I had to contact them for rolled posters? What the hell? Where & when did they say that? I was slightly p'oed that the free poster I got was folded around my order.

    I normally would not have complained, but cardboard creases never go away & are much easier to see than normal photo creases. I guess I'll have to wait until ebay lets me own a proper copy shipped to me in a poster roll.

  21. Nitroadict - Regarding posters: once they were our confirmed pre-order bonus, we mentioned the Rolled vs. Folded situation on this blog, we mentioned it in our weekly newsletter and we sent out emails to customers. I'm sorry that you missed that information. We realize that things like that happen so we would have been more than helpful in rectifying the situation. I'm not sure why you didn't contact us by replying to your order confirmation and inquire to see if we could do something.
