Metamatic Forums John Foxx John Foxx and Louis Gordon Metamatic - Deluxe 2CD Edition

Just ordered mine.

Can't wait.

Looking forward to the bonus material even if I don't know what it's going to be yet. I love surprises.

Just got an e-mail from Townsend Records, regarding this double CD. They are accepting pre-orders now, for £8.99.

So, it's going to sell like hot cakes then, and there won't be any left many days before its released?
Sold out within a week? I think not.

This is Metamatic we are talking about, not some obscure album no-one has previously heard of.

Relax, I'm sure there will be enough copies printed to go around

I'm intrigued by "10. Touch And Girl" .. new version with altered lyric perhaps?

Yeah, I noticed that as well...

Don't worry though - it's just an unfortunate smelling pisstake...

Rob

.. more's the pity

I noticed Amazon haven't put it up for pre-sale yet .. is it a Townsend exclusive? (NB I'm a regular Amazon customer .. never dealt with Townsend before..)

No, it's not a Townsend exclusive.

I didn't bother checking the track listing.
I just pre-ordered it from Townsend.

I currently only have Metamatic on Vinyl, so at that price I snapped it up.

I've never bought from Townsend before either. I usually use MusicNonStop, because they allow PayPal (And I'm an affiliate.. Never managed to sell anything for them, though, unlike Amazon)

Been a bit of a week for buying. I bought CD1 AND CD2 of The Leather Sea on Monday, as well.

OK I'll keep checking Amazon then, even though the Townsend price seems more than reasonable.

thanx a whole lot for this quite interesting info , rob ! :-)

am i correct , when i assume that neither "to be with you" nor "cinemascope" or any of those 3 alternate versions have ever been - @ least not officially & in good sound quality ! - be released before ? *jus'_curious*

i suppose that the version of "he's a liquid" is also another take as the one on the "modern art" compilation then ?
