My ram dx order was shipped today! i live in the u.s. it's like x-mas in may!!
1st post? Couldn't be for a better topic! 
welcome aboard!I registered early on, but i had forgot my usernane and stuff lol, the sites like thefest.com started shipping today on their mono/dx edition's. i really like their site, the owner mark lapidos says he started beatlefest in 1974 with john's permission, and today it's grown into a giant empire.thanks for laying out the welcome mat.
I usually go to his fests here in Chicago. But he is usually kinda expensive...Paul's own site and amazon were cheaper than that.
Yes your correct, the deluxe was way cheaper at amazon. if it was my last resort, i think i could swing it, but times are hard and i enjoy eating lol
Well, you can always save money when you Eat At Home
Good One! Lol

I got mine through Amazon, got confirmation this morning

The great think about the deluxe book is that it contains all the recording dates for the individual tracks.
Pity they didn't have that information for the Band On The Run release though.

I admire your optimism.....but yeah, I wouldn't put it pass MPL to try and use the 40th anniversary as an excuse to squeeze yet another version of BOTR onto the market. -
Pre-ordered my deluxe and vinyl yesterday thru amazon...can't wait!!!

by reading some of the complaints on here regarding Topspin they don't seem to have a good customer service team, I would contact consumer services if they continue to fob you off.

When i received mccartney dx, the download card didn't work right, i contacted topspin and they replied rather quickly,on the same day, they did a fantastic job with me.

Only the other week I was reading about the Apollo 16 mission which took place between 16th & 27th April 1972. It occured to me that Loup (1st Indian on the moon) was probably inspired by the event, as the Red Rose Speedway sessions were well underway at the time. It was then that I realised it was 40 years ago. Its a pity this Ram release wasn't ready this time last year as a 40th anniversary issue would have had a greater promotional impact than a 41st anniversary.

Mine is due for dispatch tomorrow. I ordered from pm.com. I thought the whole point was to have it for the date of release not dispatch the day its getting released so you get it 2 or 3 days later!!

For those in the States wishing to buy Ram in the stores...the Sunday paper has the Best Buy insert ad with a little photo of Ram, credited just to Paul McCartney, for $14.99. They say it is the deluxe edition when actually its the special edition at that price. I am just hoping Amazon ships my deluxe today so it has a chance of showing up on Tuesday. Thus far, hasn't shipped.

Here in Massachusetts, Newbury Comics will carry the deluxe version for something in the $130 range - haven't shopped around yet to know where that stands in terms of being a good or 'not so good' deal

THAT is pricey, when you consider Amazon has it for about $90.00. I would be shocked if our local Best Buy has that deluxe in on the release date as they are selling so few CDs now. Ordering online is the way to go.

Agreed. I think Amazon is the best price.

Mine has shipped from Amazon, but I have Amazon prime. A friend found it cheaper online, but by the time I went to the link, it was no longer available at that price and was higher than Amazon.
