    Hey guys,
    last night I phoned my local record store here in Holland to confirm that they’d be getting the Deluxe ‘Blessed’ in today (new releases come out on Fridays here). I was told they expected to. Today I’ve been to 5 different record stores all of which had the single disc, but none of which had the deluxe. Most of them didn’t know whether they’d be getting it in or not but according to Kroese Arnhem there is a problem with supplies? BOL.com (Holland’s nearest equivalent to Amazon) have changed their listing of the Deluxe from ‘available’ to ‘expected in 2-4 working days’. I wondered if anyone else in Europe has managed to find a copy of the Deluxe edition? I believe it comes out in Germany, Ireland and a few other countries today too.

    Myself, I decided I couldn’t wait and got the Deluxe on iTunes. Great price (14 euros 99 cents), but disappointing that no pdf of the artwork/liner notes was included. Anyhow, off for my first listen. 8)

    Thank you for the info. I will pass along to Universal Europe on Mon. I will also inquire about why the artwork isn’t available on ITunes as it should be.

    I received an email from amazon.co.uk dated 26 Feb telling me that my copy of the deluxe edition has been dispatched.

    I got a response from the head of Lucinda’s label in Europe and he said he did not know of any problem but that he would look into it when he got to the office tomorrow.

    Thanks Tom. Kroese in Arnhem were the ones who mentioned the problem being with their supplier (although I’ve only seen the 1 disc everywhere else too). There number is: +31 024 3221346 in case you want to contact them.

    Will there be any way for people who’ve already bought the album on iTunes to receive the booklet as a PDF or anything like that? I already submitted my receipt for the 4-song bonus.

    I asked about the artwork not being on ITunes UK also and haven’t heard back yet. If they don’t put it up I will see if we can put up a downloadable version here on the website.

    A friend of mine in Leeds had no trouble picking it up either. Seems like the problem may be exclusive to Holland. BOL.com have the 1 disc in stock and available for 24 hr shipping but the 2 disc is still listed as out of stock and expected within 2-4 working days.
