Title: CRS ORDERS UPDATE 6 DECEMBER
Post by: J Jonah Jameson on December 06, 2008, 09:00:25 AM
Morning all, after a Titanic Effort by Everyone - We Are Up To Date...!

The girls have gone through the CRS orders, both those we knew about and those we didn't and have compiled a complete list of what's been outstanding, as far as we can.  We were then able to identify who needed a signed disc, and these were done in time to allow The Lovely Deb to get to her local post office yesterday morning with FIVE blue Ikea bags worth of parcels to send out.  You should see the size of that girl's muscles...

We do have some messages to respond to, and will be working through these in the next few days.  Obviously we've concentrated on the orders to get them out as soon as we could.

Thanks obviously to TLD and Kate for all their efforts.  Special thanks to Gary Hodkinson who volunteered to help courier the discs around the country for signing by Jem, Dec and Johnny M.  Couldn't have done it without you, chap!

Can I also thank everyone for their good humour and patience during this rather wearing period.  Whilst not our fault, obviously we wanted to do our best to sort out the problem.  It really showed us what a nice bunch of people we have on the forum.

We've sent the latest orders out with our new freebie, a special Christmas Badge - see sales page for details.  More rarities!  These will be going out with all orders during December.  Fools to ourselves, we are...

As ever, any queries, PM TLD or me, but everything should be with everyone very soon.

JJJ

Thanks again for all your efforts sorting this out.  I arrived home last night to find a large parcel with a new T-shirt for me and hoodie for daughter #1 - very nice!  The badge was an unexpected extra surprise and is already being displayed on daughter's bag.  8-)

Thanks again to the three (wait, the four !) of you for what you just did. I'm still waiting for my dose of Frost*ness, but meanwhile I received a shirt which is a pretty cool way to wait and freeze some more people around me.

Freeze, frost... Got it ? (sic)

Anyway, let's move ahead of this ridiculous attempt at being funny and spontaneous, for I do have a question. With said shirt I got two sticker-like thingies - but stickers they definitely are NOT. Yes, I tried to stick one of them almost everywhere in the house, just to eventually realize it wasn't sticky at all. And despite the numerous efforts that followed, I cannot for the life of me figure what they truly are. Hence my question : did I miss some valuable info on the board regarding these strange white frosterisks, or am I  a complete dumbass ? :lol:

Hmmm... a badge... with a top on, which can be sat in an aesthetically pleasing manner, on a dresser. Hmmmmmmm... Intriguing.

Wow, well done. You've done better than all of us!  :P
Hang in there, hope yours arrives soon.

I'm still in mail frenzy mode. Everytime I hear the postman whizz by on his bike, I run out frantically only to be met with catalogues and bills.
Soon... can't be much further away now! :)

I'm really proud of my incredibly unique version - it seems to have been signed by a hitherto unknown band; Jbm Gadfly, Jerm Methgirl, Daz Boldo, Amba Elbards, and Jane Jowell. Amazing.

:mrgreen:

HUGE thankeroonies to John & Deb for sorting through the chaotic mess that seems to have been dumped on them by you-know-who.

Currently bleeding my ears to death and back with DDD & Wonderland.

So, who else got compensated for an apparent lack of clings, with two badges? :twisted:

Hm, I got a cling with my shirt, and apparently I'm going to have a badge with the CD. Looks like somehow I got lucky and got both freebies.

Still don't know what I'd do with a badge, still. I'm thinking about throwing the window cling on my guitar, but then again, maybe I'm not.
Title: Re: CRS ORDERS UPDATE 6 DECEMBER
Post by: ich_bin_besser on December 09, 2008, 03:08:46 PM

LivingForever, I can live without the cling. I don't think we should make the effort just for that.
On the other side... - check your PM.

So it looks like orders have started arriving here in the states, but still no sign of mine.  :(  I did get an email 2 weeks ago from Deb saying that my order had been posted, but not sure if that meant shipped or not. I'm expecting long delivery times due to the holidays, but with other shipments already reaching their destinations here in the USA, not sure how long I should wait before getting concerned. Am I the only one here in the states still waiting for their pre-order? Just curious.

Nope, done that and I'm on the list - just near the bottom of the back-log, I guess. I'm cool about it though, as I've got the e-music download for listening purposes.
Would be nice to have it in my sweaty mitts before the Peel though - hint, hint!

So indulge in gloatage all you want - I won't rise to the bait. ;)

Whew, I know. I'm very glad to finally have this. I've not only stayed away from downloading it, I've more or less stayed away from all discussions about it and stuff. So Welcome to Nowhere, Dear Dead Days, and the hidden track all took me completely by surprise--the hidden track most of all, because it is not in the slightest what I expected.

Thanks, JJ, TLD, whoever else. I hope everyone else is starting to get to enjoy their copies as well.

Oh, question. Does anyone else have four or five completely illegible signatures on the front of their CDs? I was kind of disappointed that I am unable to read them, as I was expecting something goofy and fun. Oh well. The black matte/black gloss artwork, especially the inside of the folds, looks absolutely stunning.

Most of them are quite legible on mine with Andy E and Jem G being easy to make out, Dec's is simply Dec and JJ is easy to make out from the too unmistakable J's at the start of his forename and surname, Mitchell's on it's own would be pretty hard to know who's it was but as is was the only one remaining it's obviously his, that and it matches perfectly with the one on my signed tour cd which he signed in front of me

*checks CD*  no. no chips on mine.
perhaps it was a note he made to himself, having realised that it was a good 3 months since he last tasted a juicy deep fried potato morsel.  You can imagine his disappointment that night when he got back from the chippy with his battered cod and pickled egg to find... damn and blast... he'd forgotten the chips.

it'll be on your conscience now, my friend!

It could have been much worse - the original list of signed CDs from the CRS i think showed about 90 signed regulars and 4 signed special editions.  Didn't believe them so we went through it one by one and it turned out to be 70 signed specials and virtually no signed regulars.  You wouldn't believe the effort that's gone into sorting this CRS mess out.

Liquid - I'm glad you finally got yours.  And as for the signatures - just because they're great musicians don't mean they can write...  ;)

Post by: Liquid on December 18, 2008, 09:42:20 PM
Mine arrived a week ago and I'm still very happy.

To be honest--I'm liking it a lot more than I anticipated. I expected to enjoy it, but I figured it would be poppier and less intense and whatnot. Well, I was wrong. To be honest, it feels like aside from a few choruses, Jem moved even further away from pop music. All the stops and starts and sudden shifts remind me a lot more to Mr. Bungle than to even simple neo-prog.

Well done, Jem. Kudos, a couple of handclaps, a friendly handshake, and voila--I picked your pocket. Better watch out next time.

Right. I'll write up a review of it in the next few weeks, I think, on progarchives. I really anticipated giving it three or four stars. Shows I was wrong. There is more right in this one album than (gasp) Marillion has done yet. Don't tell Pete.

I know, you should have it. It made it to damn Nowhere, Missouri before it made it wherever you are.

But these things happen. I lost Pawn Hearts in the mail for three months. During which they sent me another one, thinking it was gone forever. And then all of the sudden I had two. There may yet be a bright side: you might be able to sell a copy to the used CD store. Yay.

If I haven't been properly appreciative before, THANK YOU SO MUCH, FROST* STAFF. It's harder to thank you for your hard work before you get your CD, but once it's all there and you've had some time to reflect, a hearty blurb of gratitude is far beyond merely in order. Seriously, dude and chicks, well done. Way to turn what could have been a promotional fiasco and turn it into a chance for more than half the forum to have a personal conversation with the bassist... Hehe.
