LakesideMaiden Posted August 13, 2007 Author Share Posted August 13, 2007 Was the MVI released over there? If not, this could be what they are releasing in it's stead. Personally, if I had the money, I'd be buying it, even though I already have the MVI....I'm a completist like that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

porthleven's rose Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 I went to the trouble-and expense-of getting the MVI fron the US. Cant access half of it anyway--cant even register it---- --- and now they come up with this? WHY not publicise it earlier? It just looks like another way to get more money out of us. I'll probably end up buying it-but I'm a bit disillusioned with their record company. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PuppetKing2112 Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 What I'd like to know is, WHY could they not have released this special edition worldwide on May 1, in addition to the regular CD? I would have sprung for the deluxe edition in a minute. But as it stands, I've already bought the CD, the MVI, and the vinyl. I won't be buying this.
