Sorry to jam the fence firmly between my rectum and my kidneys but I see both sides. Without wishing to drag my Wildheart promotion tendencies into the open too much, Ginger lives in Britain, was born in Britain and Britain has been responsible for a great deal of his success.

Despite this, his first solo album (Black Leather Mojo - available from all good online retailers) was a Japan-only release, which cost me about £40 to buy I seem to remember. I was a bit cheesed off, but because the rusty pubed tunesmith is such a godlike genius I bought it anyway.

2 years later it recieved a UK release, repackaged and with extra tracks, which pissed me off a bit more because I didn’t want to buy it again for the sake of a couple of live tracks.

So it totally bites when your favourite band/artist only releases their works abroad, but shit happens so work your way around it. Ultimately there are a very few decision points here. 1) Do I like Ginger/Therapy?/Ace of Base enough to spend a shitload on their new CD? and 2) where do I get it from if I do.

Record companies, just like everybody else exist to make money - that is why they are evil. If they do not view Therapy? as being a viable business investment then they simply will not invest in it. No different to opening a sausage roll shop next to a synagongue, it won’t make money.

The fact that they are stupid pointless dickheads -and they are wrong - has no bearing on it.

So Michael A - sorry you’ve had a bit of a pasting on these pages and I’m sorry you can’t get NANE in the states. IT’s a great album, if it was me, I’d bite the bullet and hit Amazon.

I do think it’s funny though that the problem is Therapy? not apologising nor explaning.

Good for you It must be very boring for you on the WOM like when your posting the majority of us european WOMbles are in bed and vice-versa.

You seemed to have missed the boat on this one. Everything was resolved a little shy of a year ago, and I’m pretty sure somewhere amongst all these pages I said that I did, in fact, have a copy of NANE.

I swear, this thread will always come back to haunt me.:D

Yeah you have a pretty good point there - I saw the post, but didn’t read all of it, and posted my reply anyway. I then finished reading it and though, well I sound like a proper cunt don’t I?

Valor del Corazon is available in all good record shops now and is better than happy nation by ace of bass.

High praise indeed :D

Well it was the landmark Scandinavian pop-reggae album of the mid-nineties. An essential purchase for all fans of mid-nineties scandinavian pop-reggae.

Reminds me of the front cover of the VHS version of ‘The Crow’ which had the phrase “Better Than Batman” plastered accross the top in big letters… as if Batman is some benchmark of film-making that all other films should be judged against :)

…made me want to watch it :D

As an american, i’ve basically resigned myself to the fact that T?’s records won’t be sold here anymore. but that’s fine, the internet will get me what i need.

as for importing, i don’t mind. i’ll happily pay whatever it costs. twice as much as a regular cd is still worth it for a new Therapy? disc. i think i paid $25 for NANE, and i would have gladly paid more.

as it stands, i’ll likely be paying for the new one twice, if it’s available for download like the RHC EP was. (download, and then again off ebay or wherever i have to get the actual CD) and it’ll STILL BE WORTH IT.

To the Americans quit wanting everything all the fucking time, you guys get a lot of things already and you are very luckyt for the things you have.

Wow, that was totally unnecessary.

You know, just because it looks like everyone in America is making $40 grand a year doesn’t mean they are. Some of us make $22 grand and have to choose where the little bit of extra cash we have goes. Don’t be a prick. :mad:

Just because we’d like to get the T? cd’s doesn’t mean we’re all greedy gimme gimme’s. Stop lumping nationalities into a stereotype.

I agree with the post above, but when you are plugging away to try and do something and you’re getting nowhere, it is hard to get to a point where you can step back from that and present that as news…I mean, if something IS coming out, you have a release date you can tell people, but when you are hoping that around the corner is a solution, when do you say “Stop! It ain’t gonna happen!” and then how do you bring yourself to announce the bad news when you’re as pissed off about it - if not more so - than the fans?

Hey Krisken then tell your mates that when they have an issue to show some damn respect.
There are a hell of a lot of Americans who complain and fucking whinge that a certain band is not coming to their town. Shut up you prick and take a look at the people who are homeless before you complain about your very high financial status. A bilion people on this planet survive on a dollar a day. Shut up!
Since when does it look like Americans earn 40000 dollars a year?? And where? What garbage!

Spot on Speedball! Preach the word! :)

My mates? WTF are you talking about? I don’t even know these people, just as you don’t. I’m not the one saying “X nationality, you’re complainers”. This is the equivilant of if I had heaped any trouble the IRA caused onto your shoulders. It’s absolutely absurd and mind numbingly obtuse.

Oh, you’re right, I absolutely don’t know what the rest of the world has or doesn’t have. However, since this thread has NOTHING to do with poverty, what I give to charity, or the F’ing price of tea in China, you are way off topic.

I wasn’t complaining about my financial status. I was stating a situation where buying cd’s is a luxoury I won’t indulge in when the price is twice as high because I do like eating each day. Hell, I don’t buy ANY music now since I’d rather be able to buy necessities like clothing, food, and pay my bills. I ask for no help, and I recieve no help. Get off your high horse already.

Sidenote: There’s this mentality that America is the land of plenty. We have a lot here, I admit. Don’t think for a second that it’s any different than there though. There are crappy poor area’s here, and disgustingly rich people on the other end of the spectrum. The distance is quickly growing as production jobs leave the area for foriegn markets and are replaced with service jobs, which pay much less.

So as an end statement. I love Therapy?. Supported them since Troublegum. Although I won’t be able to buy their albums in the future (unless I can go the route of ITunes), I want nothing but the best for the band and hope they are able to release many albums in the future. I understand they can’t tour the entire world, and touring here wouldn’t be feasable in any case as the record companies are only interested in the current uber-money success which = pandering to crap. Keep rocking out and enjoying yourselves. You guys have been f’d around by record companies so often it’s not even funny, and yet you still keep kickin ass all the more for it. It’s why I’ve stuck around here as long as I have. Take care, and good luck.

Bye all.
