"the lot" withdrawn

Just wondering... the Swedish remix of Shove It is supposed to be 5:34 long according to this scan of the label: http://s.pixogs.com/image/R-246699-1148297246.jpeg The box set version is however 5:04 so is this an edit or is the label info wrong? Or a completely diff mix?

"403 - Forbidden"

Ron,
recently I transfered this track from original vinyl. Running time of transfered track is 4:54. Possibly there was some speed issue, so it seems the 5:04 is correct running time of the track.

Question:
Is there any difference between Dear Mr Murdoch (nude mix) from Fun On Earth CD and Dear Mr Murdoch (2011 version) from Singles 2 CD?

As I hear, Dear Mr Murdoch (nude mix) is the same as the one which was released in 2011.

Or it is the 3rd track which is repeated twice in The Lot?
Shove It (extended) and Heaven For Everyone (Freddie vocal) are two others.

I'm told by Amazon UK that, despite ordering when their original stock was in, they have run out and it will be some undisclosed time before I get my box set. Not happy.

I'm about to ring them and check myself. Maybe my original thread was (shock, horror) correct? Maybe they are aware of the errors and have pulled it? Sainsburys entertainment have it down for 2 December 2013.

Yep. Not getting mine either....:(

I'm happy to wait a few weeks IF it means I get a corrected version; if I wait all that time and then still get one with half a booklet etc then they will certainly know about it.

Well.

Amazon have just rung me again to say this HAS been withdrawn, they are not allowed to sell it, and there is no confirmed release date.

Just had email saying they are hoping that they will have stock on 19th December. So I ain't even going to get it for Christmas if at all.....:(

I suspect I will never get it :(

Going to keep an eye on pirate bay and if it turns up on there will download it and cancel buying it. Not as if I didn't try to buy it.

Am amazed that you get so many emails about this order and I havent heard anything about it at all yet. Maybe you placed it on a diff, later, date and are therefore out of luck since they ran out of stock? I placed mine on October 25th. I however dont understand in that case why they tell you that they are not allowed to ship it or that it has been withdrawn.

It seems according to posts from people who ordered from amazon on queenonline - if you ordered on 25th you WILL get it.

A lot have had same email as me. I ordered on 31st

From the Facebook:

MESSAGE ABOUT THE LOT BOX SET.

We are aware that there are issues with some box sets which have been received and we are investigating this as a matter of importance.

A follow up announcement will be posted very soon.

Thank you for your patience.

It doesn't look like Amazon will be dispatching to me today.

Honestly I'm not overly bothered about having to wait for the box since I already have most of it, but I what am upset about is that I cannot hear the Fun on Earth album until it arrives. I do not plan to buy the standalone as well just because they fucked up the boxset, nor am I going to take a first listen off mp3 or spotify. FoE is all I really cared about getting quickly, so this is very annoying.

Amazon are now saying that Virgin / EMI failed to deliver the amount of stock they promised. They have an estimated release date of 19 December and say Virgin / EMI have promised more stock.

Amazon.co.uk dispatched my Lot order today, so I can enjoy all the errors live tomorrow.
