Where to buy The Else

[giann...@gmail.com]

Hey, does anyone know where you can pre-order The Else and be sure to
get the bonus disc? The Amazon page that theymightbegiants.com links
to doesn't mention it at all. Just wondering...

Amazon probably does have it-- but if you're looking for an online
place where you can pre-order it with the website explicitly stating
that they have an extra disk, then this site should do (though it's
rather pricey)-- http://www.cdonline.com.au/?event=search.viewProduct&catalogueNumber=LISN82009_1

I'm sorry, but I don't see why this question keeps arising
everywhere... TMBG stated that the first pressing of the album will
include the bonus disc. Do people think Amazon is getting a special
shipment of the first pressing that doesn't have a bonus disc for some
reason? They don't have the CDs yet and they weren't directly informed
that it would have a bonus disc, so their disc counter still says 1;
that's it.

TMBG's MySpace has more proofins with their link to Amazon (both lines
are linked):

Click HERE to order The Else at Amazon.
This first edition includes a FREE, FULL LENGTH BONUS DISC!

Sorry if you weren't aware of the first pressing thing or something,
but that information's pretty much everywhere. Rant rant rantie rant.

Just guessing here, but... probably because people want to make sure
they get the bonus disc?

Yeah, I had read that the "physical release" of The Else would include
the disc, but I've been burned by Amazon previously, in a similar
situation, and thought this Group would be a nice place to come for
clarification.

Thanks, anyway, for dishing out your reply with a dollop of
condescension on top, all for little ol' me! You're so cool.

I think some of the paranoia / fear comes from the growing
proliferation of bonus this or special edition that for so much out
there. It's not a TMBG thing so much, but if I buy Band X's CD at
Best Buy it comes with the bonus DVD while at Wal-Mart it comes with
the fancy package and the 'making of' documentary. Ordering through
the band's website gets me the 5 bonus tracks from the Netherlands
while ordering from Amazon saves me 20%. The actual Netherlands
release, of course, has 5 _different_ bonus tracks. We haven't even
started on the versions I could download...

Amazon is your friend for many things, but I'll personally be waiting
until I can physically hold the CD and find the words "bonus disc
included" or some such thing. That's probably silly of me, but as
much as I look forward to this disc (I don't have it downloaded or
copied in any form) I'll wait until I'm sure I can buy it just once.

Until I can get the bonus DVD and the tracks from the Netherlands, at
least.

I'm right there with you. The lack of anxiety is worth the couple extra
dollars and also, we'll be getting it on the release day without
worrying about shipping. Let the guys who sprang for the iTumes version
try to save a few bucks and sweat out the bonus disc.

I'd be wary with Amazon. They sometimes have problems handling multiple
editions of the same album. FWIW, it does explicitly state under the
"About the Artist" section for The Else that the first edition of the
album comes with a 23 song bonus disc.
