I forgot to tell Viv that the CD is inside the booklet.

I got the other one. #1656/2000. Now I have shop for the proper frame. Though I'm happy with the one I have, maybe other Ledgies might want to swap lithos with others if they have a mutual different preference.

The whole package is designed well. The slip sleeve case for the booklet was unexpected. Nice photos inside. I like the general layout/presentation of the lyrics.

But the random, odd spaces that I guess are supposed to inform the pauses in her voice are not necessary, as are the random ellipses. Oh well. (I'm a writer with a graphic design background, so I'm more sensitive to these foibles).

Overall, I'm enamored by it all. The album is great; Mabel Normand being my stand out track. Its intensity and free form rambling reminds me of Lou Reed's Velvet Underground.

I already have the vinyl album. I will likely complete the set and get the standard 24 Karat Gold CD with the different running order.

I look forward to seeing what kind of reaction this album is going to get. I have a feeling it's going to be generally positive. I hope she revisits this approach again; still so many viable songs in the vault! Go back to Nashville Stevie!

Got the vinyl delivered on the 3rd (same day as my digital iTunes download) - thanks Amazon. Very nice.

As for the deluxe CD I pre-ordered through Warners, I still haven't even gotten an email regarding it being sent at all. *taps on desk impatiently*

My CD/Litho shipped Thursday night/Friday morning, so I'm expecting it Monday or Tuesday. I already have the vinyl, but it's going to be great to take this record to the gym or when I study. It's such a great album - I'm pretty much in love with every song on it, though I am a little burned out on Lady (I love the song, just need a break, lol).

That said, I didn't have much of an issue with WB. The repeated authorizations was worrisome, and the overlap where they had charged me twice for the CD could have blown a hole in things if I hadn't had plenty of room on my card. Overall, I don't have much to complain about, but I know other people certainly do, and I think WB really needs to rethink their pre-order strategy to be more in line with Amazon or something.

I received my Deluxe CD Bundle and Lithograph both today whilst at work... Such a treat after an 11 hour day! Beautiful packaging, beautiful images, beautiful music. I loved both TISL and IYD... but this does seem to trump those beautiful, yet glossy efforts. If this were a 13 track album, featuring WATCH DEVIL and losing IYML, Twisted & Carousel (I love all 3 songs, but they should be bonus tracks).

Figure this out I just got the digital release downloads in my email about 90 minutes ago .I still waiting to hear from them on my credit card issues.

They are so out of it.

An email from WB with a link for my 24K digital download was waiting for me first thing this morning even though I received my 24K bundle yesterday...If you haven't received your delivery yet at least you can download it.

Macfanforever · #**159** 10-13-2014, 07:54 PM

It looks like I lost the lithro by waiting to hear from WM .

I got an email from a lady named Rachel today saying they had to cancel the order due to my credit company put a lock on my card because of the fraud problem that I had.

She said they tried to fix the order and it failed to go through the system.

In the mean time I was waiting for them .The Lithro sold out.WTF.......................

I will just order using Paypal and get the bundle before it sells out.

Yep. The litho is gone and the double vinyl has sold out for the second time. Not sure if they are going to press anymore vinyl or print anymore lithos as the links to order both have been removed. It just says "broken link" instead of the usual "currently out of stock".

I wonder if that's it for those two?

You can still order the photobook and deluxe Cd, though!

I think they will continue to press vinyl as long as the demand is great enough.

Or use PayPal, where you will know FOR SURE that the money has been transferred just the one and only time.

I used Paypal and when I didn't receive my CD, I emailed Warners. They said my order didn't go through even though I had a Paypal receipt. Warners refunded my money and gave me a coupon for 10% off if I re-ordered. I did that and got $6 off my order. I should be getting my CD any day now but I have to wait for the litho because it's on back order.

Not to stir the pot or anything, but how can the litho be on "back order"? Both litho #1 (the stupid hat) and litho #2 (the wild hair) were both limited editions of 2000 copies each. They are both now sold out.

So if the litho is on "back order", does this mean that they're going to pick a third image and do a limited run of 2000 copies there?
