Title: Game's album available in UK
Post by: Lord Funk on November 09, 2006, 04:47:42 AM
Just a heads up for any folk in London - a record shop off Tottenham Court Road has the album already for £9. They've obviously bought in the European version 'cause the sticker on the front is translated - PM me if you want to know the store, not sure whether I should broadcast it or not.

Interestingly, they have both covers, but the guy told me there's absolutely no difference between the two versions. The limited edition is just a different cover - nothing else, no new tracks or bonuses of any sort. Seems kinds shitty.

Bought my copy anyway :)

Yeah, that's what I though too - I was gonna buy the limited edition cover before the guy mentioned it.

Strange - maybe there's another special edition with a DVD... wouldn't make much sense though. Oh well, if there's another version with a DVD I'll just have to cop that too :)

Yeah, Asda's good.

Aaaaaanyway...

It's CD City, in Soho off Oxford Street. They always get the US releases in before they drop and put 'em on the shelf for £10 or less. Is that the one you mean Rudki?

Props, I'm checking that out on the way home from work. Is this the place behind Virgin Megastores?

Bit further up Oxford Street, then off a side road to the left as you walk away from Virgin.

It's on Berwick Street, I think... down from Reckless Records and opposite Mister CD... great area for hip-hop in case you didn't know. See if you can get any other info on the limited edition ;D

I've only heard the two singles: One Blood and Let's Ride ---> beat that! ;D It was very tempting to d/l the album, but it's so much more fun bumping a highly anticipated album on a decent sound system when you haven't heard it yet 8)

Anyway, I checked two local stores on Tuesday but they didn't have DA yet. I guess Belgium has to wait until November 14th.

PS: Only £ 9 for a brand new release?! You're some lucky mofo's, I tell you that. Out here, I have to pay 17 to 19 euros for a release, depending on where I buy it. Some stores even charge you 20 tot 24 euros for a new release. (For the US people: that's basically 20 to 24 dollars. Go figure! I-N-S-A-N-E)

Thats the one!!

Their bargain basement is great, but I've taken all the good stuff out, Soopaflys album for £3  8)

@ Digital Pimp's Advocate: what cd store is behind virgin megastores? cuz about 5 years ago, there was a shop called Buzz and they were pure underground- had every west release you could think off.....im just wondering could it have resurfaced there? the guy usually had the basement to your random Clothes shop.

I remember Buzz, it used to be next to Dixons, nearly every album under a tenner. I don't what the store is behind Virgin Megastores, I just remember there being one.

Dammit, I just called my local CD store and they don't have Doctor's Advocate yet >:( They said it should be available on Tuesday though.

The CD is out in Italy too, but standard edition only. I would like to get the limited one+dvd, anyone knows if it will contain some bonus tracks?

I received the special edition with the mail today. Got no bonustracks, just a dvd with a couple of interviews.. Nothing really special.
