The "add to cart" box was at the same place but it was invisible. [:D] A bunch of people emailed them about it.

Anyone in the US receive their copy yet? Pre-orders should be shipped in advanced, especially to overseas customers.

I saw it listed on Amazon for a whooping $44.99. I'll wait till it comes down a reasonable value.

Received mine yesterday here in Australia! Very nice looking set with an extra booklet hand signed by Iva Davies!

The only smigdgen of comment I can make is there was room to include their entire singles output across the two CDs but the idea was to include every single that had a video (though Jimmy Dean doesn't have a video...)

Enjoy!

I haven't bought the compilation yet. But before I do so would like to know if the DVD region is free and compatible with European DVD players or not.

The back of the DVD/CD reads region O or ALL regions.

The sound is absolutely fantastic, doesn't seem to be a victim of the "loudness" factor...

Also, the band has announced they are touring Australia & New Zealand, co-headlining with Hall & Oates...the two bands have a long history, as John Oates collaborated with the band on Electric Blue and the Man of Colours LP.
