So BestBuy sells the 10 track while Amazon has the 5 track ??   I'm confused

Unfortunately BestBuy doesn't ship to Europe, so... I would really appreciate it if one of you living in the US would be so kind to buy an extra copy of the 10 track and send it to me. Of course I will cover the costs including shipping costs using PayPal.
Or alternatively, I can send you the European (Dutch) version of the 3-track and 2-track.

Thank you,
Alex

Alex, amazon.com just has the wrong track listing posted.  If you buy the CD at this link, you'll get the 10-track version.

Right, I'll give it a try. Thanks.
Funny though that Amazon still has the wrong tracklist up.

I've heard from a mailing list that the track listing of the single is the same as the promo.  They said the artwork is a little different, but didn't describe in what wy.

The cover art is similar to that of the first commercial single, with the band on it -- specifically the two-track single, for which the picture has red and gold tinting. The track listing is identical to the CD-R promo, including repeatedly spelling David Audé as Aude'.

I can say this with complete confidence because I just got it in the mail. When I saw it was indeed 10 tracks, my life exploded.

Scans to come.

So, anyone with free time on their hands to do a waveform analysis between the consumer CD and the promo CD-R to see if there are any audio quality differences?  In other words, does one sound better than the other?

Front of card insert:


Back of insert:

I'm not happy with the color correction on this one. The scanner made it too orange, but in trying to darken the red it's turned a little magenta or something.

Back of jewel case:

I figured it was just a glitch on the promo, but apparently nobody at the studio knows how to type an é. I'm sure "Dave Aude' " gets it all the time

Front of disc:

A little glitchy in the upper left, trying to clean up my discolored scanner padding in the background.

Back of disc:

Also a little rough around the edges. Whatever the numbers on there mean, hopefully they're readable enough for anyone who wants them.

In general, my scanner didn't quite capture the colors, and also is covered in dust, fingerprints, and weird streaks of unknown origin.
So if someone else wants to upload better pics, go for it. But these are 300dpi and between 600 and 700 pixels height & width, if you wanna just save, resize (maybe tweak the coloring?), and load them in the discog entry.

I ordered four and I've already traded two away, so only one spare left.  ;D
