Lindsey Buckingham with Limited* Autographed Booklet

[michelej1]

Without more information, I wouldn't assume that Lindsey couldn't set time aside to sign the CDs. Maybe he never even knew about them.

Last night, they were selling a guitar he signed for $7200 to benefit homeless children. Of course, that was just one guitar and the CDs involved were many, but just as he signed Bass Hall CDs for his concession stand, I'm sure he would have signed GOS cds, if he'd had them to sign.

Quick Warner employees, to the 'save Lars Ulrich from crying' headquarters, we have to make sure Metallica sells another 10,000 units to push the sales of "Death Magnetic" up from 490,000 in 3 days to the 500,000 plateau...Lars tears will melt through us faster than you can 'napster' if we dont succeed.

As a former Warner employee, I agree with you. When I worked for them from 2001 to 2003 I watched them ignore established artists to go for the quick buck with these new, much less talented bands. Truly pathetic.

Exactly. I believe that explains LB's bitterness and recent digs toward the industry.

NY is gonna be tough cuz we have mad amounts of crazed autograph hounds. I'm really not one!! I only have two autographs.

In the Westword interview, Lindsey said when they put out UTS, Tom Whalley of Warner Bros. said, "don't expect us to do very much for it." I wonder what they told him when they agreed to release GOS. But although more exposure would have been nice, he said he knows he has a very small fan base anyway, no matter what he does.

His album came out on Tuesday and there was no mention of it in the Sunday adverts
So here we go with no promotion even the most easiest one of all.

What?? Haven't you been reading the reviews everyone has posted all over the Lindsey threads? His CD is being talked about all over the world. Maybe your local paper will mention it or maybe not, but they're out there to be read.

I received my signed CD booklet and a sealed CD of GOS from Newbury Comics this morning in the UK.

I had sort of written this off after keeping a track on this thread, so this was a pleasant surprise.

What a coup! Interesting. I have not received anything, but I never got the email that everyone else did. So, maybe there's hope. But even if they didn't send me a cancellation email, you'd think they'd send one saying that the shipment had been delayed. I got nothing.

GO Newbury's UK outlet!

In the US, they stated no overseas orders so I was buying for Irish friends. Had I known, I would have had those guys buy for me!

I did see that, but thought what the hell, let's give it a go

Hope was not all lost, as I received GOS with a signed booklet! It actually came with two booklets: one in the cd case itself and one that was signed.
