Nice, they got back to me already - a copy of the second disc is indeed on its way with the first. I just have to wait for them to get here, hopefully it's not TOO much longer...by Saturday would be nice, since I'll be headed back to school on Sunday.

Might be worth sending the folks at genepool a quick email to see if you got the bonus disc - I imagine they'd have some kind of record of who did and who didn't.

That's a good plan - I'm assuming I did, since I pre-ordered (the day before pre-orders ended actually Embarrassed

) and if I understood correctly all pre-orders got a copy of it. Still, I'll send them a quick message.

I'm still waiting for my copy, but it might take a while.

The downloadable bonus tracks have been played to death here already! LOL

Unfortunately no - I'm hoping it'll get here tomorrow (I think mail comes on Christmas Eve LOL

) If not, hopefully not too late next week. I preordered it the day before it was released, so I'm hoping I get the bonus disc.

Update from Kavus (via Progressive Ears):

In a crazy bit of last minute re-jiggery The Magic Numbers' fantastic contribution A Little Man And A House has been added to the album. Having a 'high profile' name should hopefully further the cause but does mean that we've had to shunt the release date back a week to December 13th.

Let's hope that helps to shift a few more copies! Big smile

Indeed. And if the handful of tracks I've heard so far are anything to go by it's certainly not going to disappoint!

I had to restrain myself from pre-ordering a dozen copies of this. Tim's music has been so utterly life-changing for me that I feel forever indebted to him. I'm honestly struggling to find the words to articulate just how much I want this to be a success. I was shocked when I read that Tim is still in hospital - I think most of us had assumed that, even though we knew he was far from well, he was at least at home with his family. I hope this album will go some way towards making a real difference.

100% with Trouserpress on this one.

I must remind the right honourable gentleman that a monologue is not a decision.

Then do it! S'all for a good cause, innit.

Not having an international creditcard nor much money restrain me from doing it.

Most times it would be a lot easier if I didn't lived were I live for album shopping. Cry

Are you on paypal? It says if you email them they can arrange it on paypal. You don't necessarily need a credit card - most debits cards work with paypal too.

Paypal does not work in Brasil anymore. Aparently some retards managed to get them so pissed off that they decided to cancel their coverage of the whole country. That actually made me lose the possibility of having a hard-cover DT biography book with my name wrritten in golden letters. That still makes me sad.
