Nothing on the news page and a pre-order link that doesn't work. Is it me?

The link doesn't work. Ferry's website is old fashioned and even commercially useless. I hope he doesn't pay too much his webmaster....

Having watched the You Tube premier (interesting) and logged into BF.com to find a wealth of products, the signed CDs / CD&vinyl bundle are "not available at this time" when you reach the checkout, which is presumably code for 'sold out'. I mean, how many signed items were there - half a dozen? Whatever the answer, clearly not enough. Another rip-roaring success!
Sigh.
In fact having checked again, by 2.37pm said items have been removed and the remaining signed item - a print - is now annotated 'sold out'. Lamentable.

The album appeared today on Tidal. Only the two versions of Your Painted Smile can be played. It says the release will be 17. of november. It says the original songs is the 1999 remaster. So the same as on the CD I bought 23 years ago. Somewhat disappinting. Thought maybe it would be a new remaster..

I dont know what Raga is , nor S&M , and it’s telling that loop de li was so long in gestation.

The Horoscope track list is using what were the 'working titles' at the time.

Cher UKRichard, It does appear that our hero’s commercial efforts are masterminded by a certain Derek Trotter of Trotter’s Independent Traders (T.I.T) - Quel Bordel ! Salutations, W2

RM1 deluxe was the same. You would think they would consider 5.1 or Atmos mixes as well but no, they stubbornly tread their own path. And I've seen it suggested that there were only 100 signed prints on sale yesterday, which went almost instantly. Previous releases have had such options available for much longer than that.

Well, finally. It's official. Ordered mine from Ferry's website yesterday. As an aside, "Bryan Ferry" is a business, and in this consumers opinion, this business needs straightening out. The entire affair over this album has been really badly handled from the first leak on HMV, through the pre-order button not working, to the reuse of 1999 masters.
