Well. I’m right pi***d off! I missed Plectronica now I've missed the CD. I've got to say I don't think this is very fair. I will say this and if I get myself in to trouble, so be it. Surely advance notice of the CD going on sale should have been given, then those who were not lucky enough to get a ticket for Plectronica could have at least had an attempt at buying the CD on a predetermined future date. I knew nothing of it going on sale until just 20 minutes ago; 15:20, 04-Dec-2018. I did not sign on to my computer last night as I had been at work all day on a PC and the last thing I wanted to do was go on a PC again. I therefore did not know it was offered for sale with no advance warning yesterday.I think the whole episode has been a disaster. I know it is first come first served but I don't spend my whole day attached to a device with email on which would have allowed me to be at the head of the queue. Very unfair!
Whenever there's a new release by Bill, I get sent an automated email notifying me of it. I got this at 5pm on 3rd December:

Bill's latest BRAND NEW album, the 3CD set AUDITORIA
is now available to buy from the Dreamsville Store!
Auditoria is a triple album of vocal pieces and instrumental tracks issued
on the Sonoluxe label in a limited edition of 500 copies. The album was
recorded between February and August 2018, and was especially created to
tie in with Bill's 70th birthday event, "Plectronica – Bill Nelson at 70,"
staged at Leeds University Clothworker's Hall on 1 December 2018.
Please don't delay, as these albums were first sold at the 'Plectronica'
event, there are only approximately 300 remaining, so they are expected to
sell out fairly quickly!
Check out the album page at Dreamsville for all the details...

10 minutes later my order went through.
I think you need to edit your preferences in this forum; it needs "Administrators can e-mail me information" checked. I sometimes get these emails on my phone when I'm on holiday but it doesn't need constant monitoring or a PC; just some fiddly screen presses to place an order when I do spot what has come through.
