Bon Jovi "Fan Album": Burning Bridges- Out 21 Aug

I'm sure it's been touched upon before but man Burning Bridges (the song) really sounds like a f**k you to Richie, whether he intended it to be so or not - that's definitely how it comes across - a few tweaks to the lyrics (for relevance) and I'd happily play it to my ex.

Sainsbury's was a blank too, although at least it was listed, apparently they have 5 being delivered tonight, no use to me on my fruitless lunch break. My nearest HMV has shut down, and both them and Amazon want to charge for delivery on orders under £10 and naturally the album is £9.99.

Got it on Google Play but it's annoying how bloody frustrating just to buy a CD it is which used to be so easy.

I know it was in Asda in Liverpool today as I was in HMV and Dad text me to say it was a little bit more expensive when he was in Asda.

Loads of copies in HMV. Right as you walk in they were there and then a few more to the left on the stands.

It's currently number 7 on iTunes UK album chart. I'd be surprised if this done well, though. It's a shame because it's a good album.

Exactly how and where? Did you listen to the lyrics? It's definitely aimed at the record company.

Think about two lines in particular.

"Here is one last song you can sell"....can't be directed at Richie.
"I'll give you half the publishing that's why I wrote this song"...again, can't be at Richie.

'Hope my money and my masters buys you a front row seat in hell'

What's the last thing said and who is saying it? Is it 'thank you for calling'?

It's almost impossible to import stuff on Argentina, leaving aside the taxes, you need to go to the AFIP (a government agency) and register yourself as an importer, then the record won't be sent to your house but you'll have to travel to Ezeiza and go to the Aduana, spend all day there because of the unbearable bureaucracy, pay 50% of the value of whatever you bought (+35% of credit card taxes), and then you'll have your CD. If you're lucky.

I'll pass and wait until it's available here... or until 12/31 that they'll open up the importations again.

It's doing very well on Amazon France:
Album category: #4
MP3: #1

Please note that when you buy the physical CD (€16,99) you automatically get the MP3 version for free as well. Is it the same in your country?

Only 2 customers reviewed it, to sum it up they said it was terrible and a rip-off.

Exactly, the masters are owned by the record company.....and they can go to hell.

All that to buy 1 little item! It sounds like it would be easier and quicker to buy a ticket and take a vacation to another country. Hopefully it will be available there soon, or 12/31 comes quickly for you.
