@Tourist my “like” is not because this particularly looks like a Bill Nelson album cover, but damn! I like it.

@Tourist please do.

I guess it’s the color scheme, but I am reminded of Snakefinger’s “Greener Postures“ album cover. I don’t get out much.

@Tourist @Tourist I actually thought this said “Memory Motel“ (instead of “Memory Metal”), which I kind of like.

@wadcorp This one *really* looks like a BN album cover along with the album title!

Great article! Thanks for pasting it in. Very thorough.

I had not yet heard that news. Very sad indeed.

@Bill Nelson And it is a GREAT release, whether autographed or not! Not that I don’t wish I’d stumbled on an autographed copy, but I’m just glad to have a copy. I hope that all who are interested in this release will follow your hint and buy a new copy. Stunning!

@Palladium Congrats To you, too!

@Sedan Love congratulations!

Happy belated and delayed anniversaries!

The title of this collection seems humorously appropriate given the double 8s "mix up."😉

More exciting news for 2021!

@Tourist right. Signed card would’ve been nice but no big deal. I have several things signed by Bill so someone else can enjoy staring at his signature this time. I think (emphasis on, “not 100% sure but I *think*”…) they all come with postcards, just not all signed. And we all get to join in the raffle for Bill’s artwork. Cool.

@Jon I thought eBay didn’t allow sellers to sell pre-orders. Maybe that’s just Amazon, which reserved the privilege of selling pre-orders to Amazon only.

Ordered as soon as I saw the notice! Still too late for the signed postcard, but the important thing was getting the box ordered, plus one for a friend. While we wait for the final product, I guess I'll just have to continue immersing myself in the new Faust box set.

waiting lovingly for the official release notice. emphasis on lovingly.

Very cool!

"Rip" sounds absolutely commonplace next to his real name, Elmore Rual.

Yes, I’m “jealous” but not so much that I don’t want to hear all about the packaging and your listening experience. I’m guessing you might be in the UK. I’m in the US and the release date on ImportCDs (where I ordered my copy as soon as it was available to order) is listed as Sept. 24.
