WOO HOO! IT IS OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah, the charts are a terrible indication of good artists these days, especially in Australia. If you want to find fantastic music you have to do it yourself.

Hmm. I downloaded a version like 4 days ago... it may have been a cd rip. When the cd stores get their act together, I will find out if the physical copy is any different. The version I heard was quite superb in quality of sound and content. I hope it doesn't differ. On another note, the album was given 4.5/5 in the mX today. Finally they got something right.

Review in Melbourne's Herald Sun today: COUNTDOWN: LESS THAN 3 HOURS TO GO!!!!!!!!!!!!

sorry, i'm finding more info as I go. The tuesday performance at sydney's apple store is apparently for sale on itunes according to their facebook. I can't find it on itunes, but this was the original message:

Yeah, a US release... that says it all.

Wow, dee, you know about John Farnham??:shocked2::shocked2::shocked2:

Bryce, you still able to upload the bonus tracks after midnight tonight in the Eskimo Joe Dload section of the forum? I may stay up. Thanks. Sorry for the double post. I only just remembered this. And thanks for the compliment on the sig, roddyf!!! Its awesome that we have UK fans on this forum of the eskies!

Yeah the last part of love like a sunset was an AMAZING end to the song! Pheonix will do ok in the charts, even with 4,000 sales, because, it's getting flogged enough in the press.

Some good points raised. I prefer the eskies. Is live on air on the radio? Is anyone able to record it somehow in a good quality? A few new sons live would be good for the collection.

lol, is this the 15th comeback tour?

Which is all good as long as the album isn't over killed to ruin like the KOL album was. That would be horrible. And I guess your reasoning explains why there is no copies at JB! A JB appreciation thread would be nice, although only mostly Aus and NZ fans will know about it...

As far as recent news goes, they are both Fucking mental.

That was this Tuesday. I'm pretty sure, check their facebook page.

oh yes. Bring it.

so it will arrive for you on friday? That's awesome.. I thought it may arrive after friday.... maybe I should have ordered a signed copy... oh well, I will save money on postage.

I know! Yeah the whole band has pull..........

Thank god that was a joke. Otherwise......................

Not exicted also? Its ok.

Farnham announces comeback tour 17:19 AEST Wed May 27 2009 By Katherine Field Tired of being retired and sick of doing crosswords, Australian music legend John Farnham is making a musical comeback, yet again. "I'm tired of being retired," Farnham, 59, said as he announced a national tour for later in the year. "I want to go out and play again." Farnham has been in semi-retirement since performing live at the Commonwealth Games Closing Ceremony in Melbourne in 2006. But speculation surrounding the singer's retirement has circulated since 2002 when he announced his Last Time tour. A disgruntled fan who purchased tickets for the tour lodged a complaint with the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) after Farnham announced he would tour again, with singer Tom Jones in 2005. The consumer watchdog decided not to take action. Farnham joked that the crossword books had been "piling up" and he was "thrilled" to get back on the road. "I've been able to put the band back together. None of them died in the interim, which is good," he laughed. "My hair's got a little thinner over the time. "I haven't. That's okay." Farnham said his decision was galvanised after performing his classic song You're The Voice with Coldplay's Chris Martin at the Sydney Sound Relief bushfire concert earlier this year. "When I walked off stage I was two-foot taller," he said. "To have the reaction that came from that was unbelievable. "I didn't expect it." Responding to comments that it would be looked at as just another comeback, Farnham said he knew there would be cynics. "If that's the way it's looked at that's the way it's looked at," he told reporters at Sydney's Lyric Theatre on Wednesday. His tour called John Farnham Live By Demand will kick off in Sydney on September 3 before going to the Hunter Valley, Hobart, Brisbane, Perth, The Barossa Valley and Melbourne. The shows will be much more intimate than in the past, he said. "As I said before I'll never tour on the scale that we did in the past at those huge venues," Farnham said. "It was fun at the time and I thoroughly enjoyed it but that was then and this is now." Asked whether he was up to the task of touring, Farnham, who turns 60 in July, said: "Absolutely, rock n' roll. "I'm not dead yet." Farnham is also planning to release an album of new work but wants a more grown up sound. "The difficulty is finding grown up songs. I don't want to sing 'ooh baby, I love you baby'," he said. "I'm not going to hurry this." Martin has reportedly offered to pen some new songs for his new album. The tour is also considered a coup for Farnham's manager Glenn Wheatley, who was sentenced to 15 months in jail for tax evasion in 2007 as a result of Operation Wickenby investigations.
