Anyone else get this?
I checked my e-mail account today, and saw this: Dear AC/DC fan, Great news! There's been so much demand for the Backtracks Deluxe Collector's Edition that rather than wait until November, we are going to ship your order to you starting this week! The first shipment just arrived from the plant (click the link below for a video of them arriving at the warehouse), and we want to get Backtracks out to the band's biggest fans right away. Watch the video here. You will receive a shipping confirmation with tracking information in the next few days, and should receive your order just a few days after that. We've also set up an official Backtracks group on YouTube. We will be posting videos of fans "unboxing" their copies of Backtracks - and even playing their favorite AC/DC riffs through the mini amp (if the mood strikes them). Feel free to shoot your own video and post it to the group! Thank you so much for your order. You are about to rock, and we salute you! ACDCBacktracks.com
I got that email too. Which is odd since I cancelled my membership a while ago when I couldn't get tickets for one of the Toronto concerts. But whatever. If it means I get mine sooner, then awesome.
I think it just represents a reality check on the part of the record company. Now that the CDs have officially been printed, it's just a matter of very short time before they end up on torrents, so they might as well ship them now anyways.
