If you're designing record sleeves and you can't even get the pictures the right way round, then fuck off and let someone else do it who can. Fair comment - it’s a ‘schoolboy/girl’ error for sure.

Stress Fracture Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 I thought the credits in this would finally give away what they did with Shadow of Your Love, but no. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a real shame, as it looks great apart from that, which should never have happened. I'm sure no-one at Universal will give a flying shit though! Whoever did the final sign-off on it is probably collecting their hefty pay packet without even a tap on the wrist! Ah well. SOMETHING had to be wrong!

I looked at that too....I suppose it doesn’t halt the myth that Slash added in stuff or Axl re-recorded vocals (Disclaimer:- I’m not convinced much was tampered with) as they would just be listed as normal as who performed on the song. But still clearly going with Adler on drums.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweersa Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 I would have bought this if it had a new song, I'd even settle for a song from CD. Better should have made it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could have got away with a new track however. Now - a vinyl release of the cancelled best of......yes please! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JY2016 Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 That they have reversed the picture is terrible. I will have that four times then: the black and gold splattered were delivered today at the local post office, the picture disc is on its way from the UK and a colleague of mine received the Walmart edition in the US and will ship it to Europe. Yep, I know, many will call me crazy but like to collect these items, plus it is the pandemic and I am bored 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure you'll feel like getting it 'soon'... I ran to the record store to get my Prince set & Nick Mason live album and didn't even think twice about the GN'R LP. It's strange to realize that now, but I'll get it when I get it. I have every song on it on vinyl already anyway. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackparker123 Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 So the sleevenotes mention Live Era and AFD LnL as part of the bands discography but not Chinese Democracy? Wtf 3 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dean Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 I had assumed this was postponed til the 9th...which is still the case with my pre-order Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DTJ80 Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 I was going to say that’s because there ain’t any CD songs on there...but notice Live Era is listed but no Live Era song..... Can only imagine that because some of the songs on this Greatest Hits are on Live Era that’s why it’s listed. No matter what anyone says, CD is a GNR album (as if Axl would allow it to be scrubbed) and it’s just not on here due to its nature - classic era/reissue. A ‘Best Of’ in the style of the cancelled effort would have been a different story - that covered everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These cheeky bastards here: https://thesoundofvinyl.com/*/*/Greatest-Hits-Gold-White-Red-Splatter-Vinyl/6MT90000000 I just checked my emails and they notified me of the changed release date on the 4th of August!! Got to love it. I wonder what caused the delay as they didn't say, I thought it was maybe TB angling for Wichita Lineman to replace Paradise City Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're designing record sleeves and you can't even get the pictures the right way round, then fuck off and let someone else do it who can. This Greatest Hits set is a hastily thrown together package, a money grab. Perhaps anyone who gets a copy with the backwards photo will have a potential collector's item if UMG decides to fix it in the future. 8 hours ago, allwaystired said: https://imgur.com/a/cJ0h3m4 Some pics here.

dontdamnmeuyi2015 Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 Got my GNR vinyl today from Walmart. I honestly don't want to unwrap it. I have to display all the vinyls. Just have to get those album cases and then decide where to hang them all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
