...First of all, thank you everyone for the massive amounts of phone calls over the last 2 weeks on this:
First of all, as everyone knows, the U.S. licensing of Pagan's Mind "God's Equation" (Jewel and Limited) is not to be release until January 15th in the U.S. WEA/Ryko owns the rights to this territory's release. In our speaking with the VP of Sales in New York, I can tell you this: DON'T PANIC DUE TO A CERTAIN INDIVIDUAL STATING: "PAGAN'S MIND 2CD LIMITED IS SOLD OUT", it is a big fucking lie to get a presale. Like all Limb titles, 4,000 limited edition are available worldwide. As clarified with VP of Sales @ Ryko, the limited edition for Europe is the same limited edition coming out in January in the U.S. and they are FOR SURE not sold out. Beings both editions (Limited and Jewel for U.S. and Europe) are the same has also caused many to call us this week in discussion about this individual is lying about this release to get a PRE-sale, and pointed out to me that they are definately in direct defect of U.S. parallel import infringement on this title even if they get it direct from the German label. Laws for licensing in the U.S. fall under U.S law, not Germany. It is called "Parallel Importing" when someone imports a different territory's (U.S./Europe/Asia/Japan) version of a title that is the exact of the U.S. pressing or pressing where that individual resides. If the song line-up is changed even slightly or the release has a bonus track (Japan vs. U.S.) then it is not seen as an infringement. In this case, We are told, both versions of Pagan's Mind Limited ARE the same. Notice that even Amazon and CD Now are not listing the November Europe release as noting of the proper release dates. Europe release is this Monday, November 12th and again, U.S. release is January 15th. No worries, you guys did not loose out on anything. I would send the standard disc you purchased back to him when you get it and tell him "stick it up your ass you lying clown"!!! Everyone still has time on the preorders for the limited edition, even multiple copies if wanted...
Preorders are to make sure you get the titles you want faster than waiting when they are releases as there are often large lines at the release date. If you get ahead of them, you get the titles earlier. Beings these labels offer limited editions does not always mean if you don't get the title preordered, you will not get it! It seldom happens. I can only think of one Limb title that sold out of it's 4,000 piece pressing within the first 4 months after it's U.S. release. Galloglass. Most of you have a good 6 months on the limited U.S. release, and beings the U.S. is not a huge market like that of Europe, you have time, but I still would not wait too long...
