Well, despite having removed all mention of the Mole and Albert Brown videos from the artwork at the last minute, it would appear that a Virgin carrier pigeon must have swooped into the pressing plant and delivered them in time... they're both on the CDs... a nice little bonus. Hurrah!

So how does one access & play these videos? I cannae see them! Confused

No badges, neither! Sad

Lovely stuff, mind! Smile

Did you keep the packaging they came in?

My badges were inside a little brown envelope stuffed in below the discs in their bubblewrap.

Send them an e.mail if your badges weren't there Al they will send you some out for sure, Gillie is always very obliging. Smile

Nope - nothin'! We don't need no badges! Smile

Might do that - Gillie is very nice!

Mind you - I'm a bit long in the tooth to be moaning about badges! Smile

I didn't get my badges either, but I don't really care. What would I do with them? Certainly not wear them, I'm not that much of a fanboy. Laughing

I love the CDs though, they sound great! It's nice to have clean, crisp sounding Dukes CDs.

I knew I wouldn't ever wear them, even as I clicked to add them to my order.

Still, "Owt for nowt," as they say here in Yorkshire...

I for one, missed the message a couple times that you had to put the badges in the cart in order to get them. Did some of you maybe just order the discs without putting the badges in the cart?

Depending on what they look like I may make them into magnets. Take the pin off, maybe file down any nubs on the back, place adhesive magnet on the back.

I made my pre-order a little late due to a lent resolution not to buy "stuff" and I'm in the states, so I don't expect my discs to arrive very soon.

Ah, no wonder, that must be it. A bit silly though, don't you think? I put it down to the company to make sure you get everything that is advertised, but I'm not about to complain about some silly badges in the face of these BEAUTIFUL CDs! I can't believe we got the videos too, those sneaky little imps, haha, I love XTC.

Just got my package and did have the badges inside.

For those who didn't get badges, maybe if a note or email is sent back to Weatherbox, they may be able to send them seperately. It's a honest miss when placing the order and not something a every order system may do automatically. That they didn't pack them in when putting the package together and seeing both cds bought may be amiss.

got mine today (in the U.S.) badges were in a little envelope but I did manage to miss them initialy.....a minor little nit pick but I hate that they added the "XTC as " to the band name. I dont see the videos anywhere but I'll be happily proven wrong......

When you pop either disc into your computer, and open up your file browser for the disc drive, you don't see anything there? They are listed as Quicktime .mov files (one on each disc).

Another day, another empty mailbox...
But it's very encouraging to hear they've made it over to our side of the pond - so as the old Iveys song goes: "Maybe Tomorrow..."
