No point to that - I'm sure they don't have any. If there were a release date, there would be no reason to keep it secret. Title: Re: hmv cd Post by: pollyblue on August 22, 2006, 03:22:33 PM what is this with HMV? this is going on for years now and you still believe they get the release date before everybody else does?
they just list the cd so you can pre-order it and don't give your money away to another record store. Title: Re: hmv cd Post by: TrueRock&Roll on August 22, 2006, 03:41:46 PM what is this with HMV? this is going on for years now and you still believe they get the release date before everybody else does? Wouldn't they have to have permission from the band or the record label to do that though? they just list the cd so you can pre-order it and don't give your money away to another record store. Title: Re: hmv cd Post by: Woooo! on August 22, 2006, 05:26:34 PM I went into HMV today in Edinburgh, Scotland and asked a guy if he had a release date for the new Guns N' Roses record and he went to check and returned with these exact words:
''We have it down for November 13th'' :peace: Title: Re: hmv cd Post by: Judge Dredd on August 22, 2006, 05:28:45 PM what is this with HMV? this is going on for years now and you still believe they get the release date before everybody else does?

Doubt it. Back in the day I pre-ordered the UYI albums and gave 'em a 50 pence deposit 15 months before the darned thing came out. :rofl: Title: Re: hmv cd Post by: TrueRock&Roll on August 22, 2006, 05:30:01 PM I just hope HMV knows what the hell they're talking about.
Title: Re: hmv cd Post by: Woooo! on August 22, 2006, 05:32:45 PM Well after the guy said that I asked him where the info. comes from and he said 'We get it from Head Office'. These businesses are seriously run so they aren't going to put out joke dates etc.

Title: Re: hmv cd Post by: Sizzle on August 22, 2006, 05:48:58 PM I checked a while back in my local HMV and they said Nov 13th too. It is a posibility...
Title: Re: hmv cd Post by: EFISH on August 22, 2006, 05:53:08 PM Arent albums usually released in Europe a day early? And since the 14th is a tuesday, thatd make sense...
hmm.. whenever it is, i cant wait for the press release. everyones gona go insane! :drool: Title: Re: hmv cd Post by: TrueRock&Roll on August 22, 2006, 07:19:11 PM Arent albums usually released in Europe a day early? And since the 14th is a tuesday, thatd make sense... It'll definately be a big day in music. I'll probably be so freaked I won't be able to sleep for a few days.hmm.. whenever it is, i cant wait for the press release. everyones gona go insane! :drool: Title: Re: hmv cd Post by: requiem156 on August 23, 2006, 08:35:57 AM I checked a while back in my local HMV and they said Nov 13th too. It is a posibility... I hope no one here is naive enough to think that this information would surface first through a distributor. It will be a big announcement when it happens, not something you just happen across. Title: Re: hmv cd Post by: TAP on August 23, 2006, 08:51:13 AM Arent albums usually released in Europe a day early? Yeah, at least in the UK it's Monday. Title: Re: hmv cd Post by: Scabbie on August 23, 2006, 09:26:32 AM It was actually made available on pre-order recently. I ordered a copy and then a few weeks later they e-mailed to say it had been removed.
The same thing happened with Amazon.com in the US last year. The whole thing is farsical.

Wouldn't it be kinda funny though, to one day walk in to a record store and surprise CD is there without an announcement or anything. I know I'd get a good laugh out of it.

I would be convinced I was hallucinating, and had finally suffered a psychotic split.

That was quite funny when we got everyone to pre-order 999 copies to try and make it the most bought album in the charts.

LOL maybe there is a futures market for copies of Chinese Democracy I don't get how they would bother advertising without checking with the record company Title: Re: hmv cd Post by: ryan_of_lax on August 23, 2006, 08:31:22 PM I was in HMV here in St John' s,Newfoundland, Canada, yesterday and they have a CD case with a piece of paper saying "New Guns N Roses album Fall 2005" stacked in the Guns N' Roses section.
It's the first time I've ever seen that there. They have a lot of different ones for different bands with fall releases scattered throughout the store. My hopes are starting to peak their way back up after years and years of disappointments.

I smell BS
Title: Re: hmv cd Post by: Neemo on August 24, 2006, 10:02:29 AM How is it HMV knows everything before everyone else? I smell BS thats cuz this story is :hihi: they are just trying to get a sales jump on other record dealers is all they do it all the time :peace: Title: Re: hmv cd Post by: savedsol on August 24, 2006, 10:28:04 AM CDs come out on Tuesdays. Nov 13 is a Monday.
Title: Re: hmv cd Post by: AdZ on August 24, 2006, 10:30:55 AM Albums are released on mondays in England.
Title: Re: hmv cd Post by: Yesterday on August 24, 2006, 10:39:23 AM I think the single will be out without any promotion at first. Then we will get alot of promotion about single, cd and continued touring. But in the world of Gn'R who knows. I won't believe anything until I hear it from Axl's mouth, Sanctary press release or better yet, I have it in my hands.
Title: Re: hmv cd Post by: ryan_of_lax on August 24, 2006, 02:52:43 PM I meant to say Fall 2006...
sorry Title: Re: hmv cd Post by: CAFC Nick on August 24, 2006, 03:06:56 PM Looks like a lot of shops are getting all of their information from one source, or just taking information from other shops.
