build a rocket boys!

I have a question:
There are three versions of the Album on Amazon.de (Germany).
1. CD - 14,99€ - 8th March
2. CD deluxe Version - 34,99€ -15th March
3. CD - 9,63€ - 8th March

there are no further informations. Can anyone help where the difference is?

Thanks!

tempting but not long to go now !

also now available on 7 digital @ £5.00 - now that's a bargain

I wonder if it only counts one 'share' per person... I just shared High Ideals about 20 times and it didn't budge even a percent.

^ It probably only does. That would make a lot more sense, methinks.

Just listening to 'Lippy Kids' and well, I'm just going to throw it out there: does it remind anyone else of 'Nightswimming' by REM?
I don't really know exactly which bit but somehow I keep humming it during 'Lippy Kids'...
Am I nuts?

Not nuts at all.... that's precisely what I thought when I first heard it.

Partly my fault for mentioning I had it, but will people please stop sending me PM's asking for a copy of the album. It was given to me on the understanding that I wasn't to distribute it in any way, shape or form. Whilst I don't doubt that everybody on here will still go out and buy the original (me included), I'm still not going to accept this as a suitable reason for making copies of my CD.

Sorry folks. Not long to wait and you won't be disappointed. I promise!!!

lol...I had a feeling that might happen when you mentioned it

That'll learn ya

My mum came round the other day and took a while to understand why she couldn't take my copy home with her. Still left in a huff.

All these efforts are working well too, still no sign of a leak.

I guess my copy was lost in the post

I think it's a testament to the loyalty of Elbow fans. How many others would have submitted to temptation and leaked the album on the net?

It's a testament, because you have it! NOT. JEALOUS.

So much for the 'exclusive first play backs' tonight - my mates in Fopp in Manchester and they are playing the album !

Because I'm stubborn, selfish and too old.

Dano - it was confirmed by HattyMorris in the Neat Little Rows thread that the Halle choir is on lippy kids. He was able to download it off of amazon before they took it down. Hope that helps.

As for NLR, amazon UK will have the download available tomorrow (feb 25):

Does anyone know why amazon UK defies all release dates? Three days early for NLR & three days early for barb! (March 4th is their release date)... and their premature release of Lippy Kids, which they subsequently made unavailable the other day.

I don't think they do it on purpose. I think they're just inept.

Is there still no official US CD release (aside from imports)?

CD release is April 12th with a digital release of March 8th. No idea if we'll be receiving a digipack version.

...Wait, I can't get a physical CD until April 12? I was going to ask for that CD for a birthday present! D:

I'm officially bummed.

You can order it from a UK website or purchase the import version that will be available on Amazon... March 15th? I can't seem to recall. It's on the normal amazon website. The price is approximately what you'd pay for the CD itself from a UK site, but the shipping will be free if you find something else to make the order over $25. Hope that helps.

I do recall seeing TSSK at my local Target when it was released originally, so you should have no problem locating a copy once it's available.

edit:
http://www.amazon.com/Build-Rocket-Boys-Elbow/dp/B004H0N4PC - $18.26 (regular)
http://www.amazon.com/Build-Rocket-Boys-Deluxe-Elbow/dp/B004H0N4PM $25.34 (deluxe)

I imported TSSK, so I couldn't remember if they had a label/distributor here in the US or not. Bah, April 12th? Looks like it's the import for me - can't wait that long. Too excited!

I just ordered it through HMV. With shipping, it worked out to $21.50.

That's an acceptable price for me.

i don't remember who said that, but yes, Lippy Kids riminds me something by REM. Everybody Hurts...maybe. Or Nightswimming.

Yep, it reminded me of 'Nightswimming'....
Absolutely love it!
