Fuck, and I just bought the five iTunes tracks. Well, at least those were only $3.99.

According to The Ideal Copy, the Interscope CD coming in June does indeed have the same track list as the promo.

That's surprising. I would have expected a single version instead of a radio edit as well as some of the EU b-sides. I'm glad I didn't pay too much for my promo copy after all, but still...

Now, to find the RAC Mix...

The plot thickens: the remix single on amazon has added a track list, but it's not 10-tracks. It's the same 5 as on iTunes USA. It also dropped from $8.98 to $7.99.
Best Buy has a the same track list as the 10-track promo.
Both are to be released June 9.
If I knew how, I'd look up the pre-order Terms of Service to see if either website could bait-and-switch you.
I really hope the Best Buy one is right. Not to rub salt in anyone's wounds, but I'd rather not pay $100 or more for a CD, no matter how cool it is.

What's the RAC mix??

Pam and Dolly duet???

Remix Artist Collective. They were commissioned to make a Magnificent remix.

A bit of a disappointment - to say the least - that there has been no physical CD issue here in the UK.

I've been getting each single since The Fly (and have retrospectively gone back to collect others) so I'm keen to get something for Magnificent (which is one of the best tracks on NLOTH).

I'll be seeing the band in Paris in July; anyone know if the single with the live version of Breathe is / will be available in France?

The US single is getting that much closer to being a reality. It's been assigned a UPC code...

I still won't believe it until I'm holding it in my hands.

So apparently the Magnificent 2-track CD from Germany is available in a jewel case. Catalogue #2701247. UPC 0602527012476. *sigh*

Apparently Ideal Copy has been sending out emails to customers overseas stating that the US Magnificent Remixes CDs is, in fact, only 5 tracks.

So all of you (OK, us) that have been kicking yourselves for buying the promo can probably rest easy that it does indeed include otherwise unreleased tracks and will retain it's value.

Yep---I had these pre-ordered but cancelled them when I got my Dutch copies...hmmm...

I was afraid of that.
I pre-ordered on Best Buy because Amazon had changed the product details to 5 tracks. Best Buy still hasn't. They probably have something in the pre-order ToS that protects them in case the product description changes between pre-order and release. I'm still crossing my fingers for now, but I think I can cancel very close to the wire. Better check that too...
I still would rather not pay $100 for a CD, especially a current release in not-very-limited numbers.
