@Jules

I’m in JHB/Pretoria. But I’ll pay the extra postage to get it from PE to here. I will be eternally grateful if you can help me out!

Jules-SouthAfrica said on November 17, 2005 22:45:

@FirstGirlOnTheMoon - lets just see if purple will able to get us a nice price:)

in the unlikely event that he cant, then ill be glad to help you out.... lets just see wat purple says. if he cant help us, then the album is around R180 plus postage according to the official site... so I’m hoping purple can get it for us cheaper.

@purplemedusa, keep us posted!:)

Have u guys heard ’Hey Mr Dj’ yet...? If not, I’ll send you a track or two to keep the excitement going!!!

purplemedusa said on December 13, 2005 19:17:

Speak soon,

Hanrich

Hey Jules... glad u got the songs!!

Nope i haven’t gotten mine either... *sobs*

purplemedusa said on December 15, 2005 05:55:

Anita... it’s so strange - those emails keep coming back to me...! Oh well I doubt that the CD will take much longer... I tell ya it’s this darn Xmas period; Per couldn’t have chosen a worst period to release the album... everybody seems so slow during he feastive season!! Enjoy your holidays... it seems that my work is only starting now!! :’(

purplemedusa said on December 16, 2005 16:15:

No luck here still :’(

FirstGirlOnTheMoon said on December 23, 2005 11:10:

Any luck yet, guys? Friday already and still nothing. No hope for having it before xmas i guess...

purplemedusa said on January 4, 2006 00:58:

Got the album today but mine seems the 1st to arrive. Stay patient, sure it will be there sometime this week.
BTW its definately worth the wait.

purplemedusa said on January 4, 2006 11:24:

I’ve officially driven everyone around me insane with the album in a matter of a few hours (even Nikos who a Roxette fan too LOL!) so I’m forced to listen to it on the diskman ... which suites me perfectly as i can actually listen to the album without disturbance... oh dammit I’m super inlove with the emotions & nostalgia of the album... considering that I didn’t buy into downloading the single tracks or any other songs (except for Mr DJ) I’m pretty glad I kept it as a suprise for me...

This album is just what i needed for creative inspiration - it takes me to places far beyond the physical!!

God I need the vinyl edition now!!!

I must be entirely honest that I dont feel like the packaging is really effective in ’defining’ the album’s unique sound... yeah I love Corbijn’s images but they seem just to random to reflect what the music achieved... think Per should have rather used Karl-Magnus’ services for this album!!

Oh just one more thing - I’m a little disapointed that the CD WASN’T the darn digipack but the standard 2CD release... when I ordered it it stated that it was the deluxe edition which (in my book) meant the digipack.... Should I complain or is everyone just happy to have the album (coz we might have to post these albums back...)

purplemedusa said on January 4, 2006 15:22:

Don’t be silly - play your CD untill everyone’s voted for or against keeping these CD...no need to torture ourselves like hungry dogs looking at a Xmas feast from outside!!

purplemedusa said on January 6, 2006 13:15:

No if there’s an error on their side screw sending back secondhand CD’s...we’re fans but paid for the Digipack as far as i remembered.

BTw it really sucks that you guys didn’;t get your cd’s.... got good weed in up-country post offices, i guess!

@purps

That is FUNNY! Made me forget for a moment that I’m still waiting... Thanks!

*shakes head, lauging and puts “Keep Me Waiting” on repeat*

Jules-SouthAfrica said on January 9, 2006 22:55:

i still havnt got mine. i was looking forward to getting the Digi-Pak as thats what i thought we were buying... a regular 2CD edition is rather.. disappointing, especially since mine hasnt even arrived. typical of my luck.

i’v been checking about 4 times a day, but now that i know its not the digi-pak, the 20-something ft walk to my post box seems slightly less worth it :

carbon_boy said on January 30, 2006 15:52:

See Miss Medusa. I told you - easier to just have pre-ordered it from the SOAP site. I got mine a week after release. And it was the digi.

Btw, Miss Jules, I’m still waiting for a thank you from you regarding the Roxette mixes I get Stefan and Eddie to play at the club. See you the weekend ;o)
