Once again, the real fans get screwed: There is going to be a re-release of the Rival Sons album with two bonus tracks, DVD content, etc. What a bunch of crap! I bought the album a couple of months ago from Amazon and now if I want the extra material, what? will I spend even more that what I bought it for to begin with? Same happened with Lacuna Coil and many others do the same!! I am downloading for free whatever extra content is needed. I am tired of this crap where the real fans, the ones that still buy CDs, and tons of them in my case, get screwed time after time! It is bullshit that the money from digital or copies go to the artists, it is always the f'cking business suits that keep the money! If I have to download shit from the Internet, I'll do it for free! Why pay for a virtual thing, especially when I already pay for the actual physical product? For what, so these assholes continue to see how to pick the fans' pockets at the expense of the musicians?http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,878800,878800#msg-878800Wed, 19 Jun 2013 10:08:13 +1000 Phorum 5.2.16 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,878800,879043#msg-879043 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,878800,879043#msg-879043 Terry K.

Katherine Jenkins - Believe

UK Standard Edition - 12 Tracks
UK Deluxe Edition - 15 Tracks (Plus 1 extra if you buy off itunes)
UK Platinum Edition - 18 Tracks + Bonus DVD (Plus 6 Live Tracks extra if you buy off itunes)

3 Releases of 1 album in one country????? (and I seem to remember the record company sending an email out offering a box set too when it was originally released)


The Band Perry - S/T
Released in UK with 2 extra tracks
I go to buy these off itunes as I already have the cd and guess what? You can't - they are marked "album only" so to get the 2 tracks will cost me £8!

Its getting to the point now I don't see the point in buying an album when it comes out, I will manage with spotify for a few months whilst I wait to see if a 'deluxe' edition is released.

and therefore you are resorting to illegal downloading!

The region restrictions are outdated, especially when I can't buy a download of an album as its US only, yet I can go to Amazon US and order the cd to be shipped to the UK.

Never understood the iTunes region restrictions to be honest, that's where a lot of this re-release bother and crap should've been sorted IMO!]]> Wardy NoticeboardThu, 16 Feb 2012 11:58:43 +1100 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,878800,878913#msg-878913 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,878800,878913#msg-878913 Terry K.

Ozzy Osbourne's SREAM was a prime example... A second Australian version was offerred with bonus disc or whatnot! Why I ask, should that be limited to just Australia, let alone be released only a few months after the standard edition hit the stands?

Same deal with Slash's last release. Few months later there was the version being offerred with bonus tracks!?

It pisses us off!!!!!]]> Wardy NoticeboardThu, 16 Feb 2012 03:02:34 +1100 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,878800,878848#msg-878848 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,878800,878848#msg-878848 InToronto NoticeboardWed, 15 Feb 2012 23:28:36 +1100 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,878800,878820#msg-878820 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,878800,878820#msg-878820 Scott Watson NoticeboardWed, 15 Feb 2012 21:11:28 +1100 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,878800,878816#msg-878816 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,878800,878816#msg-878816 JSS NoticeboardWed, 15 Feb 2012 21:01:54 +1100 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,878800,878804#msg-878804 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,878800,878804#msg-878804 JIMMY AGATES NoticeboardWed, 15 Feb 2012 18:49:33 +1100 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,878800,878802#msg-878802 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,878800,878802#msg-878802 Troy NoticeboardWed, 15 Feb 2012 17:58:38 +1100 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,878800,878801#msg-878801 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,878800,878801#msg-878801 Andrew NoticeboardWed, 15 Feb 2012 17:48:41 +1100 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,878800,878800#msg-878800 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,878800,878800#msg-878800 Melodicmax NoticeboardWed, 15 Feb 2012 17:42:53 +1100
