Options For Purchasing A Different Kind Of Truth

[GreenEyedMurder]

On my way home tonight, I was bored and started looking up Amazon, Best Buy, J&R Music, etc., but the only site that seems to list the upcoming album is Walmart.

Is it too early for the album to show up elsewhere, or am I screwed (because thanks to our City Council, THERE IS NO WALMART IN ALL OF NEW YORK CITY)?

[Sensible Shoes]

There's a K-mart in Manhattan - weird that there's no walmart.

Yes, that one K-Mart is in the East Village, of all places. The City Council makes it SO difficult for companies to come here. I'd go into a big rant about them, but this isn't the place for it.

[Hardrock69]

Hell, if it were a Walmart exclusive, they would have been trumpeting it to the skies already.

Remember AC/DC? Garth Brooks? As soon as the ink was dry on whatever contracts they signed, Walmart was making all kinds of big announcements.


I am sure they would have LOVED to have an exclusive deal, but I don't see it happening, as Walmart has kept their yap shut.

Well this one was within walking distance of Madison Square Garden, where we were for the Westminster dog show. It was a DIVE.

Thank you!

Oh, right! That's in Penn Station -- right underneath MSG.

[GreenEyedMurder]

I just hope it's at J&R Music, because that's walking distance from my apartment.

I'm just concerned that it's not showing up on any sites other than Walmart. Is it too early?

[tap1966]

They're putting a lot of effort into promo, can't imagine they will make it difficult to obtain especially in NYC.

I'm planning on dropping my daughter off at school that morning and then heading to J&R to pick up a copy. Can't imagine them not having it.

That would be the best! But nothing on their website yet.

I ate Sushi in Penn Station. Was that bad?

now there is a green carrot rubbin' one out pretending his name is sushi. so, yes

[sadaist]

I ate her sister Ming at Grand Central. I was fine so you should be okay.

[mdk1967]

You can pre-order it and the Deluxe version CD at Amazon.uk.com.

They sell Sushi in Penn Station? (And why does that remind me of Susie sells seashells by the seashore?)
You're still here, so it couldn't have been too bad!

[GreenEyedMurder]

That was really her tranny brother!

[GreenEyedMurder]

You can pre-order it and the Deluxe version CD at Amazon.uk.com.

I can also order at Walmart.com -- although the t-shirt only comes in L and XL.

[mdk1967]

There's a new shirt too? I'm drooling!

I LOVE online shopping!

[FORD]

I hope they have it somewhere other than WalMart because I really hate that fucking store.

[knuckleboner]

well, it ain't on amazon yet. but i just saw what is...

DVD of brazil 1983. van halen finally cracking open the vault?!?

van halen bottom's up DVD

[FORD]

Yeah, I saw that the other day. Looks like one of those gray market imports. Probably legal in Brazil where the broadcast originated from, but they'll probably have someone try to kill distribution in the US. Whether it's WB or Van Halen themselves, or both. (Or Interscope, if they happened to buy the back catalog, like they did with the Stones, Elton John, and others that they signed.)

[BumBahDeeDah]

Walmart in Bayonne, if it comes to that. Not TOO big of a pain if you're in Staten Island, or Manhattan.

[Va Beach VH Fan]

Looks like it....

Where is Bayonne? Seriously, I have no idea. I can get to the PATH station at the WTC site, but have no clue where to get off or what to do from there.

[chi-town324]

what about amazon usa? isn't there going to be a deluxe with a DVD?

[GreenEyedMurder]

There's not even a listing for the album (alone) on Amazon. As I said, the only place online I've been able to find it is Walmart, which made me wonder if it's a Walmart-only deal, or if Walmart is just the first to list it.

[ZahZoo]

Best Buy has pre-order llisted for the new album Deluxe Edition (CD+DVD) listed for $16.99 regular for $14.99

[VanCanHalen]

Looks like BestBuy (USA) is listing both the reg and deluxe versions http://www.bestbuy.com/site/searchpa...egories&ks=960 And HMV both versions as well http://www.hmv.ca/Products/Detail/648173.aspx

That thing is a steaming pile of dung. Horrible quality and if it's the same one that was released about a year ago (and I believe it is only a new title) the picture had a "frame" around it, so the video picture is actually about 2/3 the size of the screen with this annoying red border and a VH logo on it.

[george]

Wonder how it works if you already paid for Tattoo? Do they credit you anything for it? Not like it is a lot of $$ at all but I'm just curious..

[VanHalener]

Snatched it up from itunes at 8 this morning.

My neighbors may finally call the police on me after I get this album.
Oh well, it's been a good long run for six years.

OWWWWWWWW


(And George, you get Tattoo now and the rest later)

[Matt White]

Wonder how it works if you already paid for Tattoo? Do they credit you anything for it? Not like it is a lot of $$ at all but I'm just curious..

I do believe that they'll not charge you for that one tune if you buy the rest of the CD....its always worked like that in the past on Itunes......

[Cruiser]

They will actually charge you less than the 14.99 for the amount you paid for Tattoo I believe to "complete the album" as they call it...either way you are paying 14.99 total.

[PanamaHat]

OKay peeps....went to Itunes this morning to "see what I could see"....

15. You and Your Blues (Intro) (Downtown Sessions)
16. You and YOur Blues (Downtown Sessions)

Great find Matt! That last part was particularly interesting. I wonder if there is an instrumental intro to YaYB (a la Little Guitars)...
