I've never known a mess like this where there are different tracks exclusively available to different countries. I really don't see the point of it. It just causes frustration and resentment.
It wouldn't be so bad if they also made them available to all centrally through the official site store, but no....that would be too easy.
This whole debacle smacks of iTunes and Amazon demanding `something extra` for their own promotional purposes. If this is true then Early Bird and Time In The Sun may never have seen the light of day at all. Either MK and/or management didn`t have the negotiating power to say `no` or maybe he didn`t care in the end? As many folks have commented, i can`t imagine MK devising all this himself, its just crazy.
Obviously we the fans care and none of the above explains the Boxset 3 song bonus choice. It could have been a whole lot more, outtakes, live stuff etc. (sorry wrong thread)
But there you go, my hunch is we have Early Bird
because of iTunes.
I bet we`ll get Time in the Sun
because of Amazon.
