Hi all,

Has anyone received the 7" Ltd. Edition of Polaris? I've pre-ordered with HMV in the beginning of april but they're out of stock.

I have it, got it today.

It's pretty nice, the only thing that's disturbing is that it does not include a booklet with lyrics.

got mine some days ago from amazon. but like rini said there are no lyrics. a bit dissapointing

I booked it from Amazon but it is still on the way.
disappointing too without lyrics
btw,how about the normal edition?with or without lyrics?

I have the Digipack and It actually comes with 2 "booklets". 1 with the Larics and 1 with pictures.

I am thinking of buying a normal one..

I have Digipack and CD+7" on the way.

And another question: is every copy of the CD+7" signed?

i got mine like 5 days ago, and it had a sticker on it that said the 7"s are signed. I just dont have player for that so i havent been able to listen to Second Sight

Great! Thank you!

add: Second Sight on the 7" vinyl is not the original verion but another mix version by Mikko Karmilla. The original version is on Japanese edition.

Yep. I'm very curious about Second Sight. I ordered the Japanese version. But it still is'n here. So I couldn't stop myself from buying the Digipack when I saw it. Really nice and shiny artwork.

I have a problem, or should I say a dilemma...
I've got all other but US version of Polaris (and it was shipped by CD Universe yesterday). But they are all sealed and as somekind of collector, that's the way I want to keep them.
Yet, I'm dying to hear the "Second Sight"...

Isn't that the reason why collector's buy two of each version? One issue to listen and make love too, and one issue to store deep down in the closet away from sunlight?

Thanks for the replies, but how many of you ordered via hmv.co.uk?

Cheers

I ordered via Record Shop X. I get the edition on Monday.

I don't have player for the vynil so I don't know how Second Sight sounds.

duke, I suggest you contact customer support.

It's a strictly limited collector's edition. It can get sold-out very quickly. And once a store has sold all their copies, they will probably not receive new ones.

Anyone has a number on how many copies that were made?

I think there were 3000. All personally signed by everyone! (it took a while)

I guess you were very tired when you signed mine. I can't tell which autograph is who's. Well, I think I know Lauri's. But to me, all the other's seem to start with a J.

Maybe you all here on the forum can help me identify the signings

Haahahaha, it helped...a lot! I knew it was Larry Kainulainen's hand writing!

I got mine (shortly after HMV sold out, they did get more).

Seems mine was one of the last signed by many people...signatures seem a little rushed. That's not a complaint though...if I had 3000 signatures to do, I'd have just laid them in a line and ran my pen along them.

Mine is opened...sadly. Had to get to the vinyl. But, I will keep it safe. I have no intention of selling it, so reduction in value is not really a consideration.

Haha Great video. Just had to laugh at the amount of CDs lying about EVERYWHERE
And how you guys were somehow "systematically" going through them
*Writers cramp*

Where I can buy this limited edition?
