SYW: standard or limited?

[ThunderHappens]

Hi everyone,

I am finally getting a copy of Say You Will, and I would like to know your opinions on which version to get.

Should I get the standard release, or the Limited Edition? What extras are included with the Limited? Is it worth it, in your opinion? I really like the cover to the standard, is that photo included in the LE?

Any additional info will be greatly appreciated!

Yes, that cover picture is included in the Limited Edition. It's the first page when you open the book. Michele

I mean, the standard version is perfectly fine. But if you get the Limited Edition you get some live songs and some song by Stevie (forgot what it's called) and Lindsey's cover of Love Minus Zero...which I love. I love it more than the original (o.m.g. no she did not), but the live songs kinda suck to me. I hate Peacekeeper and I DESPISE Say You Will live. But maybe those are songs you enjoy...so go for it. It's probably $3 on Amazon at this point.

I really love Stevie's Not Make Believe.

Get the limited edition. And when you open it up and things fall out and the fold out picture won't fold back in the right way, throw it against the wall and stomp on it. That always works for me.

Not Make Believe...that's the name! Yeah, I liked it when I heard it but now I have forgotten it.

I really love Say You Will (the album, not the song). I think it gets a bad rap for no good reason. There are some really awesome songs on there and I guess I don't mind if it doesn't sound cohesive.

Thanks for the advice, guys.

I've also seen a version that says 'DVD Audio'. What exactly is this, and is the type of audio the only difference? No video footage, right?

Get both. If you're a collector, it's worth it.

You too can hear Lindsey butcher a Dylan song...Why not indeed? You've heard Stevie do it, you've heard Dave Mason do it, and you've heard Billy Burnette do it. Now you too can hear Lindsey do it. :-)

P.S. Sorry I'm a Dylan purist...

Funny. I can understand, but I dig Lindsey doing that song.

Say You Will is a great album, so any version will do for the layman. However, for the Mac fan, it's more than just "having it all" to own the Limited Edition, it is to hear a totally knew and unexpected direction the band could have gone in. "Not Make Believe" has this drum thing in it that is just exhilarating and "Love Minus Zero" is positively shimmering -- the best produced song of the century.

i never knew there was a limited edition of say you will.

[Enchanted_Stevi]

I have both of them...lol

Def the limited edition, despite the higher price tag. The two extra songs (especially Lindsey's Dylan cover) are worth it.

Hmmm...but Leon Russell, Eric Clapton, The Byrds & Jimi Hendrix DIDN'T??? (according to your seemingly fickle standards for Dylan covers)


I think the "Limited Edition" isn't worth the extra bucks. Sure, the two extra studio cuts are nice to have (the live cuts are just redundant), but, I think they should've released the full DOUBLE disc set that Lindsey originally wanted as the "Limited Edition".
