Yes, loveandmercy I am from Calgary too.  Nice to hear from a fellow Calgarian BB fan on the board!  Still no luck anywhere in this city with POB, if you see it in your travels let me know!  I thought about downloading from itunes but I have already ordered several POB cds and I want the high quality audio.  I am not down with highly compressed mp3s, although I very seriously considered it as I was (am) desperate to hear it.  I might have to pick up the vinyl too!
Cheers,
Rich

I ordered my copy from play.com.

Then got an Email back saying there sold out of the digipack edition, and the regular. So I'm pretty gutted.

My copy arrived in Australia yesterday - only one week after postage and after Amazon advised me it would take 3 to 4 weeks - YIPPEEE!! Ironically I ordered Poco's The Last Round Up at the same time and it was shipped a week earlier and I am yet to receive it. Have been listening and what a wonderful experience, I'm especially loving Common and the Taylor Hawkin's Holy Man (he sounds soooooo much like Dennis). So much to listen to!! Wonderful packaging. ............ now if only the rest of Australia had the same chance to listen to it - unfortunately Sony Australia is dennying them that opportunity via retail.

Yes, what is Australia's problem? I'm in the same boat..... got my disc set from CD Pacific (just waiting the vinyl now!), but how could SonyBMG Australia miss this one? Australia is per capita one of the BB's biggest territories. Apart from laziness from the marketing department in wanting to be bothered, I can't understand why they haven't jumped all over this one! I guess now its pointless them jumping on it..... most of the sales they could have made from old fans have already disappeared offshore, making their marketing task even harder.

My thoughts exactly. I'm (im)patiently waiting as well.

And, did your patience pay out or still in the waiting section?

Kinda surprises me that the amazon.de sales rank is very high since weeks (#1 in country - haha), but no chart activity.

I ordered it(along with MIU/LA twofer and Endless Harmony) on July 2nd here in the Czech Republic; it's not set to arrive until the the 27th of August.
Bit disappointed at the wait.
