Best Buy Not Stocking IYD? - Page 2

I imagine Barnes and Noble will carry it. Their CD's are outragously priced... but if best buy isn't carrying it on release day (and I refuse to set foot in Walmart), I'll have to just bite the bullet.

Buying CDs in stores was always frustrating for me. 90% of the time, they wouldn't have what I wanted, and I remember having to look in this giant book and the store would have to order it for me. Then I'd have to endure the "You want to order that?" comments from the clerk behind the counter.

The Internet made everything so much easier. After that, I'd browse the racks at Barnes & Noble (they always had the best selection, even if they were the most expensive) or Best Buy if I was in there, but my days of taking a trip to the music store to look for CDs largely ended when I got online.

I understand the feeling about Walmart.

Wow! The most we get in our local HMV is Crystal Visions. Guess where I'll be heading in August when I'm in London for Hard Rock Calling?! lol

I would have bought a copy of all those albums in that picture just because I don't have any hard copies. I have digital.

Everything about this release is very strange. No music video for the first single, no snippets on Amazon or Itunes. What gives?

Yes, it's very weird.

I haven't followed Stevie for that long. Is there always such a lack of information, when it comes to an album release? Usually with artists of her caliber, there's a lot of promo at this point.

I was fan around the time Crystal Visions came out and it was about the same. She was on ET or something for a bit discussing it but no commercials or anything.

I wish there would be promo, and I'd love iTunes snippets.

Bestbuy will have it... Bestbuy in Canada is carrying it and it's available for preorder so I can't see why the US wouldn't...

I've followed Stevie for nearly two decades, and this release is indeed very cryptic. I don't know why they've refused to release the video which was recorded for Stevie's first single, Secret Love. That's just completely baffled me. Such a missed opportunity.

Even Stevie's producer Dave Stewart has no idea what's going on in regards to why Warner Bros has not released the video.

Regarding no snippets on Amazon or iTunes, that's a bit odd as well. When you pre ordered Trouble In Shangri La back in '01, Warner Bros allowed access to snippets from all the songs on the album. I think the only snippets we got from Fleetwood Mac's Say You Will were leaked, though. All of Stevie's/Fleetwood Mac's other studio albums have occurred before the internet really came of age... so there's nothing else to compare In Your Dreams to. As to why Warner Bros isn't streaming snippets from In Your Dreams, it's either because 1) they are not willing to spend the money to set it up 2) Stevie really is being hardcore about keeping this album secret until release day.

This is the one thing that makes absolutely no ****ing sense! What are they waiting for? I don't care how good the music video is, once it gets here nobody is going to care. Had they thrown us the bone back in March, we would have creamed our pants and gushed over how amazing the video is. Once May rolls around tho, I think there will be a lot more critical views of the Secret Love video, because there is no way it will live up to the expectations and the headache of a ringer they've put us thru.

I was just in B&N today & they told me they're carrying it (at least in the Dallas area).

What's the CD beneath Street Angel? I've never seen that before, ever

I was at HMV at York with my friend yesterday, and they were stocking lots of Fleetwood Mac and Stevie CDs. I think this may be the Glee effect because they had The Very Best Of Fleetwood Mac upfront + next to all the latest releases
