Nice to see it will be a numbered release. However, i can't seem to find on the websites that the copies will be numbered, only limited.

Numbered would be nice but to be honest...I never really care about what number I get when something is being numbered. If 2.000 are made I don't see why number 1 is more valuable than number 2.000...but I know that's just me

They list for 30 pounds but show up for 25 in cart. in the UK residents have to pay VAT (value added tax) and when you order for export, there's not VAT, so you get a fiver knocked off the price! Correct. I got it for £25 and they added £5.69 in post cost, but since I am living in Norway, I have to pay Norwegian taxes for it. I guess it will cost my another £10-£15 before I have it in my collection

i'm hoping that in canada, since it's under 60 canadian dollars, it might sneak past with no excess fees!!

While it this 2xLP does sound nice, I think I would be more inclined to buy it had they done something amazing with the vinyl (colored, etc). Now...had the diamond dust been added to the vinyl and the vinyl been pressed on clear vinyl! I'm sure they could have done something like that (I know there are glittery records out there). That would have been pretty nifty, especially if you shone a light on the record while playing...instant disco in the room! But alas, they only pressed on black vinyl.

If 2.000 are made I don't see why number 1 is more valuable than number 2.000...but I know that's just me I have to agree with you here. I never understood why anyone really cares that they have to have the lowest numbered one possible. I suppose the overly anal vinyl enthusiast might think that they get the early pressed copies while the master plate (eh..whatever they call it) is still fairly new and you'd get the best possible sound quality. I think that's just extremely asinine to think that, but there are people that do. Honestly, I think the whole limited edition numbering thing is a massive marketing gimmick. Nobody can tell me that my #0020 out of 2000 is the actual twentieth one pressed. For all I know, they pressed a batch and they randomly went to some numbering machine or group of employees to sit and number in whatever order they were received. Or not. Maybe just whatever order they decided to do them in after they got back from their smoke break. But hey, if it makes people feel special... So yeah...numbering is just...all kinds of lame imho. And don't get me started on RSD numbered exclusives that end up going on retail sale after the fact! Uggh...

I do have a feeling that it's selling quite well, seeing the posts here and on Facebook. The better it sells the sooner we might get Medaz and Pop Trash on vinyl

A live album on vinyl is indeed a bit strange these days. Tracklist is far from complete.(No Leopard ?) Would prefer to see Medazzaland and Pop Trash on vinyl. There are two errors in the titles : Sunrise should be (Reach Up For The) Sunrise Wild Boys should be The Wild Boys This makes is seem a hasty job... The tracklist is the same as the 2-disc Japan edition of the CD release of the concert (same as the North American version but with ITSISK added). Wild Boys hasn't officially been referred to as The Wild Boys in a LONG time. On Decade, Greatest, Live In London, & Live 2011 A Diamond In the Mind it's been listed as Wild Boys. So that one's not really an error...it would have been more startling to see it listed with the "The", which hasn't happened since 1984. Sunrise, yes, I will grant could be seen as an error...but then, the preview pics may not be of the final product.

Completely agree...as soon as I saw "diamond dust", I assumed it was colored vinyl. Would have been awesome. I envisioned something like this beauty from Simple Minds:
