I got my vinyl/CD combo at Best Buy today at 10 a.m.
The album is on 1xLP with a huge full-size booklet and gatefold packaging. The CD comes in a tiny little sleeve that is housed on the right half of the gatefold along with the record. The vinyl sounds beautiful. I love this album. I have yet to put on the CD but I'm glad Capitol did this that way I didn't have to buy both the vinyl and CD for outrageous prices.
If that sales ads are correct, at Best Buy, Viva La Vida will be on sale as a vinyl/CD combo for $14.99. Every store only has a minimum of 2 copies of this, so I'm gonna have to rush over there and get that. This is a great deal!!!!!
OK thanks for your replies. I'll probably just buy the CD for cheap and get the vinyl cheap too sometime. It would be even cooler if the vinyl came with a free copy of the CD too. or at least a download of the album for free in high quality files. Either way I wanna own a physical copy of the album whether it be record or CD.
There's a pre-order on Amazon.com for the vinyl LP of "Viva La Vida" and I just wanted to know if anybody knows if there's any bonuses with it (the $22 price tag is steep even though I'm sure it's on 180-gram 2xLP)? Any information would be helpful, thanks.
