I got one from omnivore, the price was ok I guess, it the shipping to Canada killed me. Hopefully I won't get dinged for customs too.

So, when will someone put this up on YouTube or WeTransfer? I want to hear the remix of Revelations - always been one of my favorite RT tracks! My copy should dispatch from Omnivore Records soon hopefully...[/QUOTE]
I received my copy from Omnivore today.
And for the regular price, not the crazy prices that online sellers are asking since the first day it was officially released.
Can't wait to hear it.

Still not received mine. Ordered from omnivore on 8th December. Got a tracking number but haven't been able to track it. Says number not in system so I'm worried they took the order but had no stock left.

Are you in the UK?
If so, don't panic. I and a few others received ours a couple of days ago, so I'd expect yours to to be not too far behind. Consider the Christmas post... :)

No I'm in Canada. Still international post I suppose, but I'm less hopeful. Will give them till Friday before I contact them.

Got my copy from omnivore and it arrived last week, a few weeks after ordering. The Revelation mix is really nice - a more modern and less 'rock' take, but a nice mix....different enough but still true to the original. Same vocal take, but a lot of new/alternate instrumentation with some inventive loops, though at the expense of 'real drums' in places.

Yeah, the Revelations mix is pretty interesting. Tonight was less obvious, though I didn't listen to it very well.

Does the physical release include mp3-download-codes?

got mine yesterday. A really nice track actually, now that I've listened to it a few times. Hints of Bowie, Pink Floyd imo.
Revelations was a step up from the original. Vocals more prominent, and overall much better production

Got my copy delivered yesterday. It was shipped on 04dec and it took 1 month to reach Spain, so patience to those of you who have not received yet!
Nice, really nice realease. Journey´s End is a haunting track. As pointed by others, there are some Pink Floyd touches in there. I thought I wouldn´t enjoy the song as much without the visuals from the videoclip, but that was not the case. Lights out, eyes closed and that´s it!
As for the new mixes:
Tonight has been always a favourite of mine, and here we find an interesting merge between the album version and the Dub Sangria mix. Yes tt´s predictable, but still very enjoyable.
Revelation(s): this one´s the real treat from this release. It caught me from the 1st second. My wife was laying next to me on the sofa and I believed she was sleeping, but suddenly noticed her hands and feet following the beat. A completely new, different approach from the original and, as usual in Roger´s case, sounding very modern. Thumbs up!

Well mine finally arrived in Canada today. Couldn't play it immediately as it had been sitting in minus 20 temperatures all day and I was afraid to open it in case it shattered so i let it warm up to room temperature before opening.
Anyhow, I had not heard Journeys end before and I quite like it, not as radical as I've seen it described but very much a plaintive Roger song, I'll have to give it more listens to come to grips with it. I love the guitar, not sure if Roger played it or not bit I assume so. Revelations is the stand out track. A lovely mix described in detail by others.
I will say my copy has a lot of pops and crackles on it. Very thick yellow tinted clear vinyl but I would have preferred a cleaner copy in plain black vinyl that didn't repeatedly blow my speakers.
Not much I can do about the pops and crackles as I believe all the copies are now sold so a return is out the question. Anyone else have issues with the pressing?
It's a very pleasant 20 minutes of music (roughly) and well worth the price I paid, but it's a shame there's no digital download included. I will have to rip it with the crackles. I'll definitely be adding it to rotation in the car.

Same problem here. At first listening I was horrified and immediately proceeded to clean the disc, the turntable, the needle, etc etc (haven´t done it for weeks). The resulting sound improved drastically, but anyway I can still hear more pops and crackles than on any other of my newer (or not so newer) vinyls. For instance, no complaints of the recent NOTW boxset vinyl.

The Revelations mix is great!
