Yes but everybody knows Price of Love by the Everly Brothers on the pretty Warner Brothers label, red if I remember, more recently covered by Buddy & Julie Miller!!

Having said that, VAT of 4.46 gives a cost of 25.48, rather than 30+ quid.....it could have been more, I guess.
You've lost me Chris - did someone land a copy for £25.48? I'd pay that. Jules |

No - that's what HMRC charged VAT on, rather than the £30+ we have paid....don't ask me why, though...

So that was on top of the price of the CD?  They do seem to have a very inexact scale of measurement. Jules |

Still, the live album is definitely worth getting - its a shame that it hasn't been issued separately as I am sure there are plenty of people willing to fork out 15 quid or so..The current package would be like Island issuing the live 1975 set as part of a 2 CD repackage of Pours Down..and selling for 25 quid.
Back to the music. RT in fine form and his soloing seems less "noisy" than more recent works. Great versions of For Shame of Doing Wrong, Borrowed Time, SoTL, I'll Keep it with Mine (recording of this not such good quality) Back Street Slide and Dimming of the Day (all the more poignant given the circumstances of the recording). The vocals occasionally sound a little wayward, not surprisingly. It does give a much better idea of a genuine live performance than say the 10 minutes of Whitesnake live 2004 I saw yesterday afternoon - loads of overdubs on Cov's screechy vocals.

OK, it was the R< CD, so.... Initial cost £33.40 Customs ransom charge £12.46 Total £45.86  Never again! It is a lovely package though... Ah, well, we're all in it together, I suppose it's cheaper than chasing taxes from them with more money than we'd know what to do with.  |

I must check with the guys at Spin
I remembered to do so today, but alas they say they can't get any Rhino Handmade titles in stock right now. Jules |

This has now appeared on the UK Rhino site - although it's still expensive at £27.29 including postage - no tax however! Try clicking on Folk or searching for Thompson - searching for Richard T doesn't produce it. http://www.rhino.co.uk/Clive |

They should say "£3.20 for postage, packing, and some nice profit for us". At least that would be honest. Jules |

I've had an opportunity to hear the live CD and I'd urge anyone with even a passing interest in R and/or LT to do the same. It really is a remarkable piece of work, with some incendiary performances all round. Their version of "I'm A Dreamer" is amazing.

Mine, ordered from Rhino UK, was delivered by UPS and came from Gutersloh, Germany.

Got mine from UK Rhino yesterday, similarly via Germany. £27.29 doesn't seem so bad compared to the initial import pricetag. So I feel I can say 'result'! Beautifully packaged by the way.

I agree. The packaging and the booklet are one of the most informative in recent years.

Just a warning as I'm not sure if I've been ripped off or just a big error on the Rhino website
I had followed the discussion here and decided I couldn't do without Shoot Out the Lights
went to order it online but was surprised to see once I had clicked to put it in my basket
that it contained 2 items, on looking my basket also contained and mp3 download of a single
by The Darkness....ok as it showed it cost £0:00 and it didn't have a 'remove from basket'
ok a freebie so I continued
When the postage came up it seemed about a pound more expensive I remembered reported here
but never mind I went ahead without looking too hard at things
When I reviewed my email what did I see
Order Summary:
1 x Shoot Out The Lights (Deluxe Album): CD Album @ 23.99 GBP
1 x Christmas Time (Don't Let The Bells End) DMD UPC: The Darkness - Don't let the Bells End MP3 @ 0.99 GBP
1 x The Darkness - Don't let the Bells End MP3 @ 0.00 GBP
Just be warned, I may wait till I have the CD safely delivered before I kick up a fuss
but I don't think I made any slips while ordering
Cheers
Bryan

The worst thing about this tale is that someone may see your receipt and think you like The Darkness. It's a bloody outrage!!  Jules |
