yermom Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 Already replied to the message. Sweet. Ditto. I went all out and got the big deluxe package to begin with so i figure an extra $5 for this is big time worth it. Hooray! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

nicburto Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 what about us vinyl orderers? I'd like the dvd too!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
you ever seen a ghost? Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 hell yeah...i love deluxe editions. honestly, while they are doing this, they should have just made the disc DVD-Audio too for those with set-ups like that. anyway, i'm assuming this edition will be in stores too, so i won't be pre-ordering. -justin Quote Link to post Share on other sites
you ever seen a ghost? Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 also, i bet that Sky Blue Sky loft bonus download is definitely part of what is on the DVD. -justin Quote Link to post Share on other sites
unposed_question Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 Reason 3,718,387 why WILCO ROCKS. I hope they have some footage of the guys playing Impossible Germany. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 I hope it is not like the Son Volt Okemah cd - the audio side will not play in my computer's disc drive - and although the dvd side will play, it clicks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
OOO Posted March 30, 2007 Author Share Posted March 30, 2007 No one got kicked out of the band during the recording process, plus everyone is on really really good terms. There isn't going to be any friction or drama. BORING! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HighFives Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 c'mon wilcowebs let the vinyl preorderers get in on this! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Calexico Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 I hope it is not like the Son Volt Okemah cd - the audio side will not play in my computer's disc drive - and although the dvd side will play, it clicks. The dual disc thing? Yeah, mine is the same. Just as well I don't play the album that much anymore. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 The dual disc thing? Yeah, mine is the same. Just as well I don't play the album that much anymore. I did a search the other day - and found many threads and posts about this - theft protection + the dvd not playing right = a bunch of pissed off Son Volt fans. I had forgot about this deal as I had not played it in a while. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mchchef1 Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 I would like to take this opportunity to reiterate the desire of all pre ordered/ vinyl buyers/fans of the need to enclose afore mentioned DVD in with pre-order??I threw down $55 for the combo, Please keep the tote bag and t-shirt and include DVD/CD Thank you and Good dayOHHHH PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 These are just attempts to get people to buy the shit instead of stealing it from the internets - at least, that is what I think. Which is sort of funny - as you can rip anything eventually. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I had forgot about this deal as I had not played it in a while. That was the only dual disc thing I ever bought. The parent company, CBS (??), had a bunch of albums advertised with it at the time but I am betting it was dead in the water after a while. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
