Annually 2020 + Free CD

[PeterN]

Have had the email, I wondered what it was for, just in time for the weekend too.

Got my dispatch email here in the US...looks like 10-14 days for me to receive.

Delivery confirmation to the U.S.

Paid for courier service but no tracking number of course.

Delivery confirmation to the U.S.

Paid for courier service but no tracking number of course.

I noted that shipping confirmation emails from the store do not include tracking even if it was ordered. But then, emails from the actual courier services arrive. I just received the latter but not the former yet

[Saucer]

Phew! Got the dispatch email overnight. Now it's just a matter of waiting for several weeks...

Ahhhhh so that's what the Ingram Micro thing is. I recognised them as a computer retailer, so assumed it was a spam email and ignored it. I've not had any confirmation from the store to say it's dispatched.

[Sage]

People have received theirs.
If there were a digital copy I'd purchase it.

[Hillbilly]

I really want to hear the Laundrette music! It's not on Spotify etc yet.

[Pod]

Mine due in the next hour.

I didn’t think it was going on Spotify and iTunes etc? The OS said ‘it’s not available anywhere else’ - or does that just mean the CD?

Please share interesting tidbits from the book, would love to read them asap. My book probably won't reach me for a month.

[TallThinMan]

My copy just arrived. As usual none of my questions made it to the Letters section.

Still to be confirmed.
I'd place my bets on it being available on streaming services but they haven't said.
It's possible they're deliberately making it out that it seems to be exclusive to push more physical sales.
They only ever say the CD is exclusive to this Annually release.
I'd be surprised if it isn't released on digital services, but the Hotspot Special Edition is exclusive to CD so who knows.

[Greendrake]

Undertow and Agenda were on digital services because they were independent releases (also on vinyl). CD versions of them were exclusive to Annually, not releases themselves.

Laundrette album seems to be itself exclusive to Annually, not just its CD. There is no vinyl of it.
