New Album available

[Mayor]

Went into the Best Buy yesterday and there it was up front with other new releases.

[ConchRepublican]

Darn!!!

I was hoping my pre-order would arrive early. Maybe I'll have a surprise when I get home tonight?

[Buffettluvin]

Scored mine from a Bestbuy as well.

It felt like X-mas morning.

Made it thru twice. Thank you Jimmy for more tunes!!

Picked up my copy at Best Buy in Palm Desert yesterday. Last time Circut City put out a new release early the caught it at the register, so I was supprised when I Best Buy did not catch it.

I got mine from the Best Buy in Coralville this morning when they opened their doors.
And it was ALREADY marked 10% off.
So I got Buffet Hotel for $11.99.

After taxes, I paid a total of $34.85.

I just got back from the Best Buy near me. They did not have it yet. I even asked about it.
The guy in the music section new nothing of a new Buffett album.

I got it to from best buy. I don't get why you can get it early when it comes out tuesdsay.

if more people buy it this week it might stop him from getting a number cd next week when its offically released

I have, occasionally, picked albums up early, and, other times, having read of stories hear, have tried and failed from stores that knew what they were doing. Stuff is shipped to the stores in advance of release dates, and stores are supposed to hold things in storage until the release date--given the quality of help at Best Buy (at least from my experience) they aren't always aware of this and just shelve things without checking.

You will find this also sometimes happens at bookstores-with blockbuster books you sometime read about some store screwing up and releasing a Harry Potter book early and the publisher coming after them for it.

I had pre-ordered from Mailboat hoping to score it early as i usually do with them, and after reading about Best Buy I considered checking there today...But lo and behold my pre-order came in the mail today! Listening to it right now. Kid on Christmas...

[Martyritaville]

Mailboat arrived in Buffalo today (literally - from Mailboat Records in the mail).

Sitting here on a Saturday afternoon listening and watching the snow outside - sounds GREAT Jimmy & CRB!

Thank you!!

[spadilly]

after seeing this thread, i rushed to the closest best buy and found it for sale!!!!!

listening to the cd,
watching florida/bama on mute
drinking a shiner Christmas brew


great way to spend a saturday afternoon before heading off to my company Christmas party.


oh, and i was right...after a quick listen, Big Top is probably my favorite song!

Best buy here in DFW had it as well, only a couple copies left on the new release rack. Made some margarita's and now its time to listen!

[catsway]

Not available at the Best Buy in Destin, Florida. We'll wait 'till Tuesday and get it on ITunes.

[txaggirl91]

i went by the best buy in college station... no luck. damb college town!

I'll swing by wal mart on the way to work on Tuesday and pick it up.

[playafigi]

Yeah, it was only on the new release rack.. because I missed it there at first and went to look under Jimmy Buffett - and it was no where to be found. Took a walk back to the new releases and saw the last couple of copies sitting there.

I've made it through the album 2 or 3 times now, and I like it. Really I just love that Jimmy is still giving us new material - keep it coming!!

[BGunn]

I preordered through Mailboat records and got it yesterday. Love it so far. Hate paying the full price for it though.

Me too! I like most of it (certainly not all of it...Chill the Rose is a disaster). It is certainly much better than that "last album".

[changingchannels]

maybe im in the minority but as of now i dont like the album. maybe it will grow on me.

[playafigi]

I agree, Chill the Rose is a disaster of a song - at least for my tastes. I like Nobody from Nowhere, Wings, Big Top, the title track... its certainly not going to be the crown jewel in Jimmy's catalog, but its still new tunes and means another tour I dont think we as fans can ask for or expect anymore than that.

[changingchannels]

upon further listening the album is growing on me. but i will say i do really miss hearing more steel drums.
