(Watch out Fienke...here I come!)
                                                                      Thanks, LE!

Well done jennja!

Finally there is another lady that likes emoticons as much as I do! So I am looking forward to see yours!

Well in fact I should use sad emoticons, because it really is sad that people aren't able yet to buy Mark's album in the USA!
It is rediculous!  There are so many fans in the USA who love his music and now they have to wait till the problem is solved!
I hope there soon will be a solution and you all can enjoy the music as well!

What's up with this?!

One of the premier artists of our time releases a double album and get it distributed in the US? Someone should tip the newspapers about this.

This is beginning to look like a chess match to me...Mark and PCM just looked across the table and told the people at Warner Bros...."You're move!"

I'm sure neither side wants to drag this out...wouldn't be surprised if this is resolved quickly.

I pre ordered my copy from Mk.com. I was notified that delivery time could be between 2-5 weeks.  I was leery that the copy would arrive in time before the tour in Oct.  To my delight, the cds came a few days after the official release.  I knew of another fan who also got his copy, but the other fan didn't.  So, I don't know what happened why some people got their copies and some don't.  I'd be greatly frustrated if I didn't get the copy by now.  I've been enjoying the music tremendously every single day.

You know that photo of MK on the last page of the KTGC liner notes? Mark's sitting in the chair...with the upper hand raised...looking for all the world...intimidating! I can imagine him at the table with WB. Kim Wilson starts playing his harp....waaaaa waaaaa waaaaa in all the executive's ears.......

Yes, I imagine this will be settled soon. Perhaps that's why the statement is down from Guy's and MK's sites.

The dispute is concerning the use of the word "potatos" in Today is Okay.
This 'potato' reference is clearly meant to be served with faggots - http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faggot_(food)
Which is all very offensive to the north American market.

If anyone would like me to bring over the controversial Privateering CD when I go to America, I'll try my best to sneak them through customs...

Seriously though, mark famously stated once in an interview that his record conpany NEVER interfered... this is the price of much lower success in his solo years. George Harrison once suffered a similar indignity.
My guess is WB want Mark to whittle the album down to a single CD, not a double.

It looks like the contract was expiered in 2010 (Alchemy reissue is not released in US yet) and sides did not come to agree during latest 2 years. But I'm sure that WB bosses can see the high charts position in Europe and the simple fact that "official statement" was removed from GF, MK websites says us that sides are near a final decision and Privateering will be released in (or for)  US soon.
