Hi everyone! My first post even though I've been reading here for a long time (for a much longer time than when I signed up at the board). I'm really excited about the whole RAM deluxe thing
. Just of curiosity I wonder, is there anyone in the UK who has ordered just the deluxe box from Topspin and what did the postage costs end up at for you? I was just about to order from topspin as it is the cheapest/least expensive place to get it. I live in Sweden and I understand that postage and shipping costs will be more to get it here but I didn't think that it would be this much, £30 for postage and shipping! At amazon and hmv on the other hand it is about 2 pounds for that. Well, I suppose I'll have to get from some site here for £85.

Just pre-ordered a duluxe copy with Amazon. So that's me living on bread and water for the next fortnight then!
Think I'm going to put my order through with Amazon as well.

I was just going to plump with pm.com for £72 including delivery. But Im just wondering if amazon are going to drop their price as they are usually the cheapest. If they can have it on the american site for the equivalent of £60 why is it £85 on the uk site?
It's actually only about 56 GBP! I have no idea why you guys get charged so much (not that $91 is cheap!) But 85 GBP is about $137!! http://www.xe.com/ucc/convert/?Amount=1&From=GBP&To=USD

I don't get it either, maybe because the American market is bigger and more people will buy over on your side of the pond so they make it a bit cheaper. I've plumped for the deluxe version from pm.com

Only 1 week on Monday. I haven't listened to Ram in months and im getting serious withdrawals!!!!

Here's a nice series of photos of Paul and Linda during the Ram era that was published today in The Guardian: http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/gallery/2012/may/10/paul-linda-mccartney-ram-in-pictures?intcmp=ILCMUSTXT9387 I had seen most of them before but there's a cool one of Paul and Linda with "painted faces" looking very cool. And there's another one of Paul in the studio in which he looks (not surprisingly) gorgeous.
Good to see this reissue finally gettitng some press attention. It's just been bits and pieces here and there. I also saw a small article today on Paste magazine which had audio for the remastered Another Day (and yes, it sounded lovely).

OMG absolutely. It's been well over a year. I did cheat a bit and listen to a track here and there on YouTube. But I'm excited because it will really be like hearing it fresh.
WOW! That is commitment. I thought I was doing well with a few months. Infact, I would say Christmas last year was the last time I listened to it. Can't wait for the fresh sound and listen.

You won't believe this, but I probably haven't played the (vinyl) album I have in about 25 years!
I am definitely getting the deluxe remaster CDs!

I hope you have fun listening to it!

No just CDs. I'm crazy but not that nuts!
(I do still have a working turntable, but have resisted playing any Paul vinyl--1987 and earlier LPs) Well, I take that back, I played Wings Over America and Venus & Mars a few months ago!

I know. I'm nuts. But I wanted to bring fresh ears to it, so I stopped playing it sometime in 2010 and I kept expecting Ram was going to be reissued in 2011 and it never was.
I can't believe I'm going to finally get to hear it again.
