Thanks! Their shipping is €5 so that’s indeed a much better deal. Will order from them

Re: It's alright (extended mix), what's the matter?

Interesting discussion. Coincidentally, I just listened to the 12” with the DJ international mixes. I was never a fan of IA (being a PSB fan since 1985) and it’s by far my least favourite cover version. I am also surprised they play it live so often. None of the many remixes do the trick for me, at ...

Re: New single „Dancing star“ (digital April 3rd / CD May 3rd)

I'm in NZ and we don't have Amazon. I'm not sure the NZ retailers will stock the CD single. I'll definitely research options. Sent from my SM-G998B using Tapatalk Posting from amazon UK to Europe is also over €12 :( Almost twice the price of the CD It also seems this CDS is a UK only release... Why...

Re: Closer to Heaven - London 2024

Never got the negative perspective on C2H. Saw the original run and the above the Stag version and both were brilliant. The music is also great, even though some songs are not my favourites (Vampires). I found both versions very funny too. As for the clunky dialogue, I am not a native speaker of En...

Re: Nonetheless - Blu-ray

Ordered this one immediately. I love hq surround mixes but hate downloads, so physical only for me.

This clearly has added value, it's nothing like the cassette or strobe vinyl edition.

Re: Zoetrope disc

I didn't know this. So you can't see anything without a strobe light? Is that really true tottenhammattspurs? I had always assumed they were cued to the 33rpm speed of the record! Nearly bought the Blur one last year but decided cost too much when I didn't know if the album would be any good. Diffe...

Re: Piano Room Month - 2024

Have listened to these songs a couple of time. Dudes to me is an odd choice for a Bowie song to be covered by them. It's pretty much a "greatest hit" even though it was not performed by him originally. And the Boys usually have an excellent taste in selecting covers that are not part of th...

Re: Zoetrope disc

Shipping from UK to Europe too expensive (over €14) plus prepare for 21% VAT as Blood Records does not participate in IOSS, plus custom fees that can ammount to €14.50 in my country. Sorry, but €80 or over for a single LP is too steep for me. eBay prices :( It looks nice though. Will still stick to ...

Re: Dreamworld: The Greatest Hits Live At The Royal Arena Copenhagen

My local cinema hall was just over half full. It was not the biggest theatre of course, but when I went to see Duran Duran A Hollywood High last year there were only 8 or so people. The Boys definately attracted a larger audience. It was also a one-off afternoon screening in my city, so no competiti...

Maybe because I am in their system now, things went quicker Might be but still cannot see how simply adding me to a possible VAT refunds database can delay my case so much significantly longer that for instance yours...
