Interesting: The Media Markt Edition has a cardboard slipcase. The Saturn.de version hasn't. I have both. Couldn't resist to buy at my local MM on Thursday while waiting for the Friday delivery of my Saturn online order. Nice little Feature.

Today I bought the Saturn Edition, and it had a cardboard slipcase too. Maybe they just run out of slipcases during the production

So... not any mention of 'tracker' in any songs as far as my eye can see. Any ideas?

I asked the same question 2 times in the other thread but nobody hops in. I thougt because the songs are about some of his memories.

It's indeed a tracker of his life. Somewhere in one of the interviews MK referred to this. Can't remember which one

I mentioned it in my review of the album!       

Here is the section:

"I heard many nods to other MK songs, which were sometimes a bit difficult to pin-point and also to other musicians - Brubeck, JJ, The Beatles, Clapton and Dylan - perhaps this is why the album is called "Tracker" - he's remembering past songs and also people and musicians he has encountered through his life. "

A dear friend of mine bought the cardboard edition from Saturn as well. Maybe just another marketing trick. Remembrer the "Kill to get crimson" double edition with the cardboard which was supposed to be numbered? I have found it with and without cardboard and both with and without being numbered.

Even better!

It's most certainly mentioned on the 24min dvd where Mark explains various uses of the word Tracker.....
Tracking over the world, tracking books for information etc

Someone of Spanish City has posted this google maps location, and thinks it's the same place where the Tracker cover picture was taken...

What do you think?

It looks quite similar... and it's in the south, not far from where John Illsley has the pub in the New Forest...

Looks right.  There's a lay-by for the car to pull in and get out to take the photo.  Also, the telegraph pole is in the correct position at the far side of the field.

Do you think Mark just walked out there or was he photoshopped in later?
