Three copies--the only three copies (as of day of release)--at Best Buy in Springfield, Missouri had printing errors. I noticed it first thing when I picked mine up, went back and looked through the other two, but they were all that way. I was kinda disappointed until I realized that misprints make really good collectibles. Just look at all the Star Wars packages on eBay that say "Yoad" or "Chowbacca"! Maybe I'll be able to pay off my student loans someday, after all... _________________ INTELLECT AND ROMANCE OVER BRUTE FORCE AND CYNICISM Smokemonster |

I just got back from a Media Play here in Cincinnati, and they just had two copies of Marvelous Things left. All of their copies of Laughing City were gone, so that's a good sign, and I believe there must've been at least a handful of copies of Marvelous Things to begin with. So anyway, I bought the two remaining copies, both of which have the offset printing problems. I'll probably just keep one sealed (to pay for future college loan debts ), and enjoy the one that I've opened. I'm so happy to finally have it--it sounds great! Like everyone else, I can't wait (but I will... ) for the full-length. I know it's going to be amazing, and I wish you all the best as you get ready to work on it after the holidays. |

Still here in LA. I got the official word from WB... the printer accidently shipped the "make ready's". To everyone except the anti-rider and maybe a few more printing buffs, that's the stack of paper it took to GET the job in register on the press... Printers order more stock than needed, hang the plates, start the presses and pull sheets as they're flying through the press to look at them and find the problems to correct. 500 - bogus make-redi sheets seem to have made it into the stack of good ones and went into production. They're working with retailers on an individual basis. Some have already sent their lot back in...others will do so as people complain... WB has called most and are dealing with it. I hope all are sent back in and new ones are replacing bogus ones. Feel free to complain to the retailer and ask them for a refund or tell them it's a problem. Thanks everyone for understanding. I SO hate this. bd _________________ EisleyWebGuy "The industrialists never saw the fruit of their own labor - Post Moderism, which I now proclaim as dead.

However, it's cool that everyone here is so positive about it. We all have futures to pay for! All kidding aside, it sounds like everyone involved is working hard to get things straightened out, and I hope that things work out. It's amazing how many little things can be messed up when you get into the biz... |

So there were a total of 500 bad ones? I happened to get one of them. But I don't think I want to bother taking it back. _________________ meryll |

I just picked up a copy of MT this morning at Tower Records in Cherry Hill, NJ. I'm one of the lucky 500 to get the "collectors edition". It was the last one so I couldn't tell you 'bout the others.

got cut off! Don't worry Boyd, the amazing sounds inside more than make up for the insignificant blurs. I'm on my way back to Nashville now, and let my drummer hear it for the first time - within five minutes he had to hear it again. Nashville's waiting for you so c'mon over. _________________ Bigsby "Some day you will be old enough to start reading fairy tales again." - C.S. Lewis |

Hmmm- so now I've got one copy of MT signed by 4/5 Eisley, and another (in shrink wrap) with printing errors of a lot of approximately 500 that exist...hmmm....now if only I had something more collectible, like used Eisley guitars (I'll take the Rickenbacker), or the offspring of their dog...hmmm.... collect on. cameron _________________ Cameron aka truckpoetry....

I ordered 3 copies from Amazon.com and 2 were ok, 1 was blurry. I sent the blurry one back. Not because it was blurry, but actually one of the jackets, upon opening, was empty! No CD inside! So I returned it,and sent the blurry jacket back, since I'd rather have the nicer one! _________________ " If we had done as the kings told us five hundred years ago, we should all have been slaves.
