play.com have the new Ash album 'Meltdown' in stock and ready to go - £8.99 delivered.

If you order it today, it'll probably be on your doorstep by Monday (the scheduled release date in the shops). I cant promise it, but there's a chance....

Same also goes for Gomez - Split The Difference, & The Charlatans - Up At The Lake

Heard Meltdown played in full on XFM on Tuesday night. It's heavier than their other stuff, but still the mutts nuts. I have my copy on order.

You can check it out on the XFM web site.

They also have The Charlatans.

Cheers for the heads up, I've got Meltdown & The Charlatans on pre-order....think I'm gonna wait until I have them before I listen though, I'm a traditionalist

I'm a bit of an ash nut, so I couldn't wait. I wanted the double cd set (with the extra live album), but play are out, so I ordered it from cd-wow.com for the same price as play had it (£10.99).

[Floodedstatue]

Yep I pre-ordered it from play a few weeks back, looking forward to hearing it!

I will be getting this.
Always liked their music, but never bought any albums.

I saw them live for the first time last year at the Vfestival.
This was enough to encourage me to buy something...

BTW
Will be watching them again at Reading this year

reading! argh! i need a few weekend passes but they are not on sale / sold out! >:-(

[Floodedstatue]

I wouldn't worry mate, the line-up looks shocking

meah, its just a good laugh, i'm noramlly well out of it (on nothing illegal i might add, heh), managed to lose my shoes in the mosh pit 2 years ago when andrew wk was on, of all people! heh

I'm going to the signing in Virgin Megastores in Oxford street on sunday night. Should be awesome. Hopefully they'll sign my 1977 album too :D

[tom_nieto]

Got all my stuff signed, they played an excellent set, not just new tracks either. The album is excellent by the way. A must buy for Ash fans.

[Floodedstatue]

Good to hear, mine should arrive today or tomorrow

[MunichMag]

Querried cd-wow to find out why my order of the 2 cd edition was still showing as "pre-order", and they said they are having delays in receiving stock from their suppliers, but are "hopeful" they will be able to fullfill their existing orders, although they can't say when.

Play are also out, so hunting for somewhere else that has it, then I'll cancel the order with cd-wow. This is the first time I've used them...and possibly the last.

[Floodedstatue]

MunichMag - best price I can find the Ltd 2CD Edition online is £9.99 delivered at www.virginmegastores.co.uk, but it's still listed as pre-order so you might not get it this week!

If you can't wait it might be worth going to your local ASDA or Tesco, or scowering Virgin, HMV and MVC!?

Hope this helps

[tom_nieto]

The 2CD edition is really cool, I would definitely go for that if you can!

[MunichMag]

Thanks, Floodedstatue, I hadn't thought of trying Virgin. It's now showing as available for dispatch within 24hrs, so the order is in. I actually live in Germany, and it isn't released here until next week, but i'm over in england next week, so it's going to a friends address and i'll pick it up from there. I'll just have to wait a little longer for it, but I'm sure the extra live disc will be worth it.

[MunichMag]

Shame it isn't avaialble on DVD-A, or (prefferably) SACD.
