Nah, there's definitely two more headliners to be announced.

This was an earlier poster before any of the three headliners had been named. There's no Doro either on this one.

Hollywood Vampires Live In Rio cd/blu-ray digipack arrived. This 55 minute Alice Cooper concert appearance is on YouTube but the official release has a 4.1 lossless sound option and the PQ is also an upgrade. Pleased with purchase even if I would have preferred a bd of a more modern (this was 2015) full-length HV gig. This will tide me over until I receive the Road cd/bd later this week - can't wait to hear Roses On White Lace performed live.

Road is HMV's album of the month.

£22 for the CD no matter if you go for the DVD or the Bluray...

The price is a bit off putting to be honest.

Just the single cd version is £16.

A rip off.

I paid £19 for my Road cd/blu-ray set off an ebay business - just checked and unfortunately they've sold out of their 50 units.

I'm just relieved that, this time around, Ear Music weren't expecting me to pay 50 quid for the blu-ray option! (which is why I bought the cd/dvd of Detroit Stories - luckily that dvd did look good considering it was just standard definition).

Road is a solid rock album, will need to listen again tonight before properly judging it. Least favourite track is easily Big Boots!

The blu-ray is 73 minutes long and has a lossless 5.1 option. Looking forward to watching it with my wife on our next shared afternoon off (when I can play it loud without upsetting flat neighbours). From my glimpses at it, it looked like a fun show.

I listened this morning as well, and I liked all the songs, particularly Dead Don't Dance but I think the album runs out of steam somewhat towards the end before Magic Bus, The Who cover.

So I'm glad I enjoyed it because I bought the CD/Blu and it is on the way to me I'd be peeved if I didn't like it. I'm also looking forward to watching the concert this evening.

I notice Amazon now have the cd / blu listed at £20.69.

Slightly better.

If they don't make a complaint via the chatbot or give them a call. Say you'd never have preordered had you known the price was going to drop on it's day of release. What's the point pre ordering something if they reduce it immediately it's available.

I've done that a few times. I usually get a fiver credited to my account or worst case the reduction reimbursed.
