If you can, buy it from your local record store, rather than filling the pockets of Amazon.
Still hesitating which version to get, might go for the deluxe 3-cd, we will see:

I preordered the 3 cds at www.cede.ch , ok I am not really excited but cds sre affordable nowadays and warchild deserves our support
Received a newsletter from the band...
"I chose warsong to remix as it's one of those slow building, brooding musical pieces that has always drawn me into the cures music. My idea with this remix was to strip it back slightly of its organic instrumentation and bring in ridged, mechanical percussion and some down pitched vocals aimed to bring forth the cold/dystopic feel of the song while maintaining the core beauty of what existed." -Chino.
thanks Ulrich, I must admit I like the remix :-)

I agree. I think I will order the deluxe 3cd version too. At least it's for a good cause, and the Chino Moreno remix is wonderful. Still have to listen to the others, though. I hope they might be available (or at least some of them) on Youtube
Just ordered the Deluxe 3 cd version. I hope it's worth it...
From the newsletter I received today:
QuoteAudio fragments from Mixes Of A Lost World have been pressed to vinyl acetate
A number of independent record stores worldwide – nominated by the remix artists – have received a copy
There is one copy per nominated shop – for visiting and listening in store
The acetates will decay more and more with each play
There are a small number of extra acetates... go to Instagram, Twitter or Facebook and nominate a favorite store. They might receive a copy...
Thank you to independent record stores everywhere and always
Seems like someone has questions on this...

Do you know, or at least remember what Roger's (now deleted) message said on the matter? I'm curious to know. I follow him on BS too, btw, but somehow missed that one. Thank you.

Perhaps unrelated but I saw you mention something called NOSTR on Bluesky as a true alternative to X. Can you elaborate what it is? I checked the wikipedia link you pasted on your post but didn't understand much
@dsanchez .
Btw, thanks for mentioning me on Bluesky and the fact I discovered the forum through Curepedia...
The grammar police has a problem with this... :winking_tongue

Same here, it was okay to listen to on youtube while surfing the net, but buying...? I would hardly ever listen to most of those mixes. :1f636:

My guess is Roger's deleted message expressed the same skepticism about these mixes, but then somebody (RS?) persuaded him to "reconsider"? It sounds plausible...
or reminded Roger that he made good money beeing in the group....his Ferrari does not pay itself
Quote from: Rietan on May 19, 2025, 21:58:17good money beeing in the group
Not with this one though, with the band's royalties being for the benefit of "Warchild" (which might indeed be the main reason for me to buy it, maybe add another cassette to my very small cassette Cure collection!)...
News about the acetates with fragments and where you can listen:

Can't say I'm too thrilled about this release. I liked Mixed Up (except for the crap remixes of Pictures of You and Inbetween Days) but so far not feeling it for these remixes ...
Out today... anyone bought it?
I might go get the 2cd version (for the sake of supporting "Warchild").
Ordered a few weeks ago through my local record store and it's ready. I will pick it up today :)
Should anybody be interested in this: I think the new shopping experience on the official website has become less efficient. The evidence for this: when I ordered SOALW, the deluxe CD arrived in a few days and the shipping expenses were not that big. Since they switched company - I think the new one dealing with the shipping of items is located in Virginia, USA - prices have almost doubled and shipping is likely to take much longer. I preordered the deluxe version of MOALW, because the site claimed the cost was 25 euros, only to discover it doubled up after the shipping expenses (to a European country, in my case) were calculated. Ok, I could have stopped and delete the operation, but decided to proceed instead (silly me!) and let them process my order. Now, the cd has come out officially, but my copy is not due to arrive until June 28th, possibly June 30th. I don't think I will shop from the official website anymore.
@Sacha8 the fault is all your dear,not of the official store
Perhaps you chose to order for the US version rather than the UK or European one.
EU orders ships from DE
:-)
BSI merch is for UK
(he Cure UK Store 20 Commercial Street, Spitalfields, London, E1 6LP, United Kingdom)
Music Today is for US
[From the date that your order is dispatched we aim for delivery to you within 2-5 business days (UK), 3-8 business days (Europe) or 10-15 business days (Rest of World).]
Shipping for the cd version from the EU store costs around 8 euros.So you did something wrong i assume.

That's good to know. It sounded rather strange that the store made such a heavy mistake... Thank you so much for clarifying. I feel really embarrassed by the whole thing, and kind of depressed too... :1f62d: :1f62d: :1f62d:
Don't get depressed, mistakes can happen and you do pay for it after all. :)

Last time I ordered something (MC early this year) it was
not shipped from USA and arrived within a few days (even sooner than expected)!
If possible, do not hide your IP address and always double-check when visiting the store if you're in that part of the world where it's shipped.

Thanks a lot for your support! The funny thing is I spent the same amount of money to get the deluxe versions of Pornography and Disintegration (in the same order, and for both CDS) from a local store...
