My Tusk deluxe set arrived just fine on the release date from Amazonuk.

I've just gotten an email from Amazon UK that Mirage box pushed back a week till around August 5.

vacation around Europe. To be serious, if I remember correctly the item was in stock at Amazon U.K. and was sold by them (not a third party). The record label was Invada which is based in Bristol U.K. If all their pressing plants are in the U.K. is another matter. I remember tracking this shipment. Seems like it made it's way from or through Germany. That took a long time. And if geography tells me any- thing it was headed the wrong way. I was picturing it traveling on the back on an open bed pickup truck. Picking up locals and hitchhikers on it's way. And unfortunately run into some inclement weather. You know it's bad when the U.S. Postal Service wraps your cardboard package in what is basically a clear trash bag. With the accompanying white label recieved damaged. Because of the delay I assumed the incident happened before it reached the good ole USA. The cardboard box was so wet I literally could have wrung it out and used it to make a cup of coffee. A very long story short, I buy a lot of music. And I would safely say that more than half of my orders from Amazon U.K. have been received damaged. Though not usually by water. Amazon will make it right in the end, but they should do it right the first time. It's that bad. (wow, what a long winded answer) |

I can't remember what Tusk came in but I'd guess it had a plastic covering that would have needed unwrapping...surely. |

I've been listening to the early version of "Hold Me." It's interesting to hear how different it was in the beginning. It makes me wonder if it still would have been a hit single had they left it in this more organic state. And maybe Lindsey's wasn't feeling the "hold me like a good man should" line.

I feel he really cleaned up the chorus and the vocal he does with Christine is absolute excellence. |

Agree 100 percent. It's by far the part of this set that has me most excited. To have that specific mirage show on a clear perfect sounding CD has me way more excited then if they had did like the tusk set and selected a lot of new performances. That's the exact opposite of how I feel about the tusk and rumours tours, so they got it right with me for a change! And I'm only very mildly upset that it's not the whole show. The band or whoever slelected the tracklist of the original HBO special did a great job picking the right songs. So we don't get Dreams, Landslide and Second Hand News. Who cares! I'm sort of glad all the songs I want to hear from that show will fit on one CD. Won't have to change discs mid run or car ride or whatever the case may be. Sisters and The chain simply don't have better versions out there, although the latest live chain from the tusk tour is close. |

Very close, if only Stevie's vocals were more up front it would be perfection! |
