Label: ISLAND


??????????
do you think it is another version from the 10c white vinyl? can you help me to take one?

[pdalowsky]

Island are the record label in the Uk that PJ have signed to here for this release, as they cannot self promote here like they are in the US, so they are not going it alone over here

I really dont know which version this will be but do know its limited and numbered if that helps??

PRE-ORDER DONE

The man in my local indie shop told me that should be two releases of the 7", one numered (with glow in the dark sleeve) and one not.

[jongopostal]

Can anyone help with a website to buy the numbered (glow in the dark) single?
Thanks in advance.

Not a 'different' version of the Backspacer album (as far as I can tell) but this UK record store are offering a 3-track download from the O2 gig with pre-orders: http://www.townsend-records.co.uk.

I know some of you were lucky enough to be there, so thought you might be interested if you haven't already ordered all the versions! They are listing a 'Limited edition' CD and an LP - I assume they are the UK versions listed previously.

Thank you so much!

You are welcome Massimo!

Seems that there are two versions of the Backspacer CD being released in Japan: the standard CD (cat no. UICO-1171) and a Japan only SHM-CD (Super High Material CD) version (cat no. UICO-9047).

I have never heard of SHM-CD but according to the listing:
"The SHM-CD format features enhanced audio quality through the use of a special polycarbonate plastic. Using a process developed by JVC & Universal Music Japan discovered through the joint companies' research into LCD display manufacturing SHM-CDs feature improved transparency on the data side of the disc allowing for more accurate reading of CD data by the CD player laser head. SHM-CD format CDs are fully compatible with standard CD players.

different obi and stickers on cover...so if we have the traditional promo versions (like in these 2links) with sticker on back cover and "sample" printed on disc...we must buy 4cd!!!

Great information, thanks for that

where can we order the Japanese CD's??

Paul, i think it's better wait...we'll see many copies on ebay with a cheaper prices than on-line store in these days...prices will always go down on ebay...
