Phew!!! mine just turned up today, a full 10 days after ordering it
(and I live in the northeast of London, not too far from SOS offices in Cambridge).
Ordered at just past midnight on Monday 8th, the day of release, received confirmation of the processing of my order four days later on Friday
(when I assume it would've been posted out) and then sweated it out until today
Not sure what effect the supposed Xmas post delay had on this, as someone I know posted a small parcel to me this week on Tuesday and it arrived the very next day, which amazed me.

I was relieved when
Shining Reflector turned up, though I was confused when opening the package, as all three of the sellotape coverings that secure the card packaging had been slit carefully, so it's seems obvious that someone had opened it and looked at the contents somewhere along the line. Luckily they can't be a BN fan, otherwise they might've spirited the CD away. Or can anyone think of another explanation for why the package had been opened and closed again very carefully?
Which brings me to ponder this thought. With only 500 being pressed and a super quick sell out, what happens if an order
(or a number of orders) goes missing in the post, but with no extras left to replace it? Bill's CDs used to be sent as recorded delivery within the UK, but this one wasn't for some reason (change of policy or oversight?).
It may sound like I'm complaining, but I'm merely wondering
(PS: Can't comment on the music as I won't be able play it until tomorrow)
