No problem at all Jeroen. I'm in the UK.
They ship to Europe only though.

I mailed them , got a response and now ordered it from the German site.
Also I now know what went wrong: For some reason I was on the Austrian part of their site, and from there the vinyl is not available for foreign countries.

Thanks for the link, maybe i´ll buy one for Christmas!

hi

get the white vinyl and the cd from Tchibo at the weekend.

And how are they Queenboot?

Does the vinyl play well?

Are the records and sleeves nicely finished and presentable?

Cheers.

Overall perfect quality. Like every official release these days from Queen. Nice heavy white vinyl, perfect sound and clear colourful artwork. It was official produced by Virgin Records for Tchibo.

Did not see the CD at this time, but I think it is simular quality like the vinyl release.

Nice one thanks MAYniac91! I have two copies on the way. Self-gifting returns!

Cheers.

Any news on how limited the white vinyl pressing is?[/QUOTE]

I've emailed them with this question.
They will look into it.

This is a new re-release of the Absolute Greatest compilation album pressed on double heavyweight white vinyl LP. Released by Virgin records in conjunction with Tchibo in Germany in November 2015, the LP set also includes a gatefold cover, inner sleeves, MP3 download code and an updated front cover design.

I keep wondering why, in 2015, Queen's download codes are still only for 320Kbps MP3s.

The vinyl sold out in two weeks time.

GT: -any idea how much were pressed? 1000?
-will there be another batch pressed?

I emailed Tchibo and they said that I had to ask Queen productions ltd.

Sold out? Glad I got it last week then.

Because with any luck they'll put the rest of the albums on Bluray Audio.
Sadly I think 5.1 surround mixes are dead in the water as far as Queen is concerned, not that that stops lots of other artists, even in 2015!
Such a loss. Queen's material above all others would shine in surround sound.
