Re: Entreat Plus double vinylHey Cats! How are you dear? As you know, I had pre-ordered mine from UMG UK for delivery to the States and the order went through, no problem. On November 30, my credit card was charged and I received confirmation that my package had shipped. I still have yet to receive anything, however. | |

Re: Re: Entreat Plus double vinylLA Lovecat wrote: LA my dear! It's really nice to see you here! ;-) I'm so pleased you'll be getting yours :-) 21 working days is a very long time though, hopefully it'll arrive sooner :-) I gave mine to my sister yesterday so she could wrap it up and then give it to me for Christmas. I'll then have the dilemma of whether to unwrap it or not! ;-) | |

Re: Re: Re: Entreat Plus double vinylcats_n_cheese wrote: So how many mint, unopened, still-in-shrinkwrap LPs do you have then? You have remarkable will power! Isn't each Entreat Plus vinyl record supposed to be UNIQUE, though??? I would have to open mine up and have a look. WHEN I receive my Entreat Plus (not giving up hope as I've always been extremely lucky where all things Cure are concerned)... I'm going to open it up, admire the luscious vinyl, place each disk on my turntable and then rip them to my iTunes/iPod. And then I'm going to frame the records with those special LP mats so I can always admire the vinyl as well as the cover art. I have some other Cure picture disks matted and framed like that and they look fantastic. I'm always glad when artists take the time, as The Cure do, to make their whole product a complete work of art. Robert and the band have always taken such care to get great cover art (thank you Porl!) and include fantasic inserts that I read and re-read. Even their choices of paper stock are deliberate. Their inserts and album covers aren't flimsy afterthoughts. Specific materials were intentionally selected in order to create an object that appropriately compliments their beautiful musical art. When The Cure create something, it's a complete sensory experience from when you first hold it in your hands to when you listen to the music and interpret the words and tones. :) WHEN I receive my Entreat Plus, I'll take a photo of it and put it up on Flickr so you can see the vinyl. I'd love to see the vinyl some of the other people have, too, since they're all supposed to be unique! So do you open presents on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day? Not much longer now, at any rate! YAY!!! :) xoxox | |

Re: Re: Entreat Plus double vinylLA Lovecat wrote: Thank you dear! :-) It'd be great if we got sequential numbers! The other friend (from curecolours) got an early number, in the 100's, the lucky girl! ;-) I'm sure yours has got held up. From what people have been saying, non-UK orders have been very tardy! Plus there's the usual holiday-period mail backlog; you'd think they'd learn by now! ;-) We had a lovely visit when my mum and sister came over, had a lovely meal and watched the UK 3D premiere of Avatar! We'd already seen it in 3D at the cinema but those two had only seen it normally. My husband's family only live about 3/4 miles away, and there was no snow or ice once we were on the main roads - residential areas are a bit slick, I was sliding up our road earlier today! It was all really nice!! It's great you and your friend decided to exchange handmade gifts! I think that is a lot better than store-bought gifts as there's the extra thought and effort that goes into them. We experienced that on a small scale when my husband's brother and girlfriend made him a picture made of A-ha fliers and the ticket from when they both saw them at a one-off concert at the Royal Albert Hall. It was really good, and unique :-) And Cure gifts are always good :-) Norwegian cookies?! I'm still loving Norwegian things, after our visit there ;-) My favourite fella has changed for the meantime ;-) I still have the Cure socks that you sent :-) When I log onto the Flickr app on my iPhone your Cure tree is usually the first picture that shows on the slideshow! :-) | |

Re: Entreat Plus double vinylWell that makes me feel a lot better, then, if others outside the UK have had major delays in receiving their records too. Fingers crossed!!! I really hope it arrives here safely! | |

Re: Re: Entreat Plus double vinylLA Lovecat wrote: They shipped it in a really firm cardboard box, but there wasn't any bubblewrap or anything, which I was surprised at. It arrived unscathed though :-) I've seen Avatar about 5 times in total :-) We have it on DVD and watched it a few times, then went to the cinema to see the directors cut in 3D, then again on Christmas Eve when Sky had the premiere, which was also in 3D :-) it's a really good film ;-) Yes, I'm still going through my Morten Harket phase ;-) | |

Re: Entreat Plus double vinylSome people are saying they're not being shipped to the US? Did you get a confirmation? | |
| 12/28/2010 2:06 PM (GMT-04:00) | |

Re: Re: Entreat Plus double vinylcats_n_cheese wrote: YES. I had a confirmation on November 18th when I ordered it, then again on November 30th that it was shipping - and that was the date my credit card was charged as well. Then when it didn't arrive I sent an e-mail to UMG UK support and received an e-mail from an individual there who confirmed that my package was shipped to the States via international mail. Maybe those people just tried to order after they had already sold out - and they assumed it was because they were trying to ship to the States? I was never alerted at any stage in the process that shipping here would be an issue, and according to UMG UK it was shipped here. I truly believe it's probably a USPS issue. | |

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Entreat Plus double vinylcats_n_cheese wrote:LA Lovecat wrote: Maybe we can figure out about when they sold out. I received the initial e-mail confirmation of my order on 18 Nov at 11:30 AM Los Angeles time, which would have been 19:30 GMT. When did you (and anyone else out there) receive yours? For anyone else in the States who tried to order Entreat Plus but was unable to, what time did you attempt to place an order? In the comments for the Entreat Plus news item, I saw one person in the States tried to order at GMT 22:45 but was unable to. On a (perhaps) hopeful note as far as my own shipment is concerned, someone from Austria posted a comment today that she had ordered 2 copies and only one had arrived thus far. So perhaps there's hope for me yet if I'm not the only one who's still missing a copy. She also mentioned that the one she received had shipped from Switzerland. Is that where yours originated, Cats? | |

Re: Entreat Plus double vinylIt does suck that there were only 1000 copies, not enough for everyone!I hope you guys get your copies! Luckily I live in the U.K & my Mum-In-Law got me it for Christmas, which was a total surprise! I got no 318, which arrived with a badly creased corner on the sleeve, due to insufficient packaging, just a thin cardboard sleeve! I did open it, which I regret now! The vinyl is extremely thick & the marbling looks cool,but I will never play it! I will probably get it framed, to preserve it forever... | |

Re: Re: Entreat Plus double vinylsugargirl67 wrote: YAY! I'm really happy for you that you received yours! It's too bad about the crease. I think it's nice that you opened it up to appreciate your unique vinyl. You could get it matted and framed with the pretty vinyl side-by-side with the sleeve so it will be safe but you can still enjoy the cool pattern. I know it's a collecting thing, but I think it would be unfortunate if they went to the trouble to create unique patterns that were never seen and enjoyed. Everyone has their preference, though. I definitely want to HEAR it once, too. Dropping the needle down on a thick vinyl record is just such a cool experience. :) Was yours shipped from Switzerland also, do you recall? | |

Was it around the beginning of December as in Cats' case? I just wonder if the UK orders shipped from there and the "rest of the world" orders originated in Switzerland. <envisions a crate of precious Cure LPs tumbling out the back of a postal van on an icy, cliffside road high in The Alps> <shudders> Does anyone else care to weigh in on where their Entreat Plus package shipped from and when it arrived? | |

I love those VHS tapes with all that lovely candid and live footage... and the videos that, for whatever reason, never made it onto the Greatest Hits DVD. How did Play For Today not make it as a "Greatest Hit"?!?!?!? They have so many great songs, though. I'm sure it was very difficult to choose which to include on that DVD.
