I thought these big store chains try to serve equally no matter where they are. Media Markt here, didn't even have the regular version. I don't mind waiting a couple of years to appear. It will be cheaper...
The first and only(?) album I got the day it was released must have been OES. No extras, just a single vinyl. Oh and then I could feel the anticipation. I already had the Calling Elvis 7'' and 12'', MTV was all over them, with specials songs and adds, (actually I have recorder and mixed straight on the VHS many of the specials-my favourite is when he says that fade to black was a r'n'r Chuck Berry style number and picks up the guitar and plays it like a r'n'r number!)
Now I am not even tempted to download it. I am only pissed about the new marketing conditions. It's as if they try the patience of the fans, or believe that "we own them anyway, so let's serve everybody else first".
