Well spotted, you! The amount of times I've nearly caved and bought this on CD.... give me my vinyl, EMI!

Yeah I'm hanging out for the vinyl also. Let's hope the date doesn't keep shifting like this.

People are buying less copies over time as is the natural order of things. ^_^_^_^_^

Thanks, brother; you are right; let's hope a new single helps the album surge again.

I'm not your brother, nor are you Hulk Hogan.

No srsly, "Isn't It Time" is so frigging good and I hope it generates some interest.

Hey guys my vinyl arrived today

The album cover is pretty flimsy, the vinyl sleeve is that same material that the TSS vinyl was kept in.  Except it's pink.  The label is yellow.

Recently, I've been re-listening to TWGMR and think that this would have been a better track lineup/sequence;

1.  Do It Again (2011/12 version)
2.  Isn't Time (extended version, with both "we used to do" and "we want to do" sections, etc.)
3.  Spring Vacation
4.  Beaches in Mind
5.  Daybreak Over the Ocean
6.  That's Why God Made the Radio
7.  Private Life of Bill & Sue
8.  Shelter
9.  Strange World
10.  Thank About the Days
11.  From There to Back Again
12.  Pacific Coast Highway
13.  Summer's Gone

Other thoughts:

- Too much Jeff, not enough Mike; e.g. Mike is not terribly prominent on TWGMR (the song).
- Spring Vacation, Beaches in Mind and The Private Life of Bill & Sue qualify as "guilty pleasures".
- Daybreak Over the Ocean is surprisingly good (and I'm a "Brianista").
- It would have been great to hear the full BB vocal mix on many Brian solo works (e.g. Desert Drive)
