Haven't received an email yet about that they're shipping the replacements. Guess I'll receive one soon enough...

Yesterday received my first mention of the replacement art prints (I wouldn't have known without this forum, thanks!)

And just this moment received an email about pre-ordering Volume 2 boxset.

I'm going to have to look back at the original order.
this is all getting a bit confusing.

I know it's early days, but a few questions:

1. What are people's view of Vol1 so far?

2. Have sales gone as well as team Jarre would have hoped? (taken into account albums don't sell as well these days, unless your name is Adele).

3. Has it got people talking about Jarre again and looking at his back catalogue and legacy?

Early days yet, but running third at the moment ...

Cool, the Japanese CD has lyrics printed in the booklet:

I received my new printed fingerprints and they're from M83, Moby and John Carpenter. My original ones were from M83, Moby and Laurie Anderson. So at least one new print, bit saddened that I once again got M83, seeing how it's by far flat out the worst track of the album (sorry man, but it really is) and Moby (good track, but I just wanted another artist). But I scored John who is awesome, so at least I have that going for me.

Japan getting the best 'regular' release of an album? Can't say I'm surprised really. The digipack is terrible

The Japanese edition is also a digipack though.

I'd like to see them try to figure those out

Maybe they tried ...

Is the sound / mastering any better on the Japanese release ?
The standard CD is woefully loud and over compressed ...
