At the same time, what a wife to recognize the value of it. At least, you hope so.

As for my own copy -- I'll admit it, I bought the Deluxe Edition off of iTunes. I'd have loved the box set, but being in Canada would have guaranteed that the price and shipping times would have been out of this world.

As it stands, I have material ready for listening on my iPhone and viewing on my iPad. The wonders of modern technology!

Quick question. Were the videos in HD?

The album is available on US iTunes in both regular and deluxe editions. Also you can buy You Do Scribble (Abbey Road Version) as a stand alone track for 99 cents.

Not quite HD... But they look pretty nice.

All of the videos are H.264 encoded with a resolution of 640x360, with the exception of Hamburg Hotel which is 640x256.

The iTunes LP piece looks good... It's divided into Audio, Video, Art, Photo Gallery, and Credits sections...

Actually, Amazon Canada was listing the box set pretty inexpensively.

I can't believe, but today I got the album finally in my hands!! And I listened it...
Not a bad album, but nothing special. For me, it's too poppy and commercial.
The worst song is Moon In Water, it's soooo weak and empty.

The best songs are Bird1, Hamburg, Scribble. Hamburg is aaawesome!!!

These are my first impressions.
