| With the release of HAPPINESS IS THE ROAD advancing ever-closer, we've been getting more feedback and requests from you via email and the Marillion Online Forum about creating an even-more "super-special" version of the new double album. |
| At the moment we're designing the PRE-ORDER 'Deluxe Edition' (the one which many of you have already bought) - which will take the form of 2 hard-bound books snugly nestled in a hard slipcase (similar to the Marbles 'Deluxe Edition' but with 2 books instead of one). |
| However, we are now considering creating an 'Ultimate Edition' of HAPPINESS IS THE ROAD. We've been looking at Trent Reznor's new Nine Inch Nails album "Ghosts I-IV" - the "Ultra-Deluxe Limited Edition" package as a starting point (check out http://ghosts.nin.com/main/order_options) |
| Our initial idea would be to include the entire 'Happiness is the Road' double album on 4 vinyl LPs, a 24-bit/96kHz Hi-definition Audio DVD, a 5.1 surround sound mix of some or all the double album on DVD-A, and a large format (12x12-inch) deluxe artwork book packaged in a special box, numbered and personally autographed by the whole band. This 'Ultimate Edition' would be priced at £150, made in very limited quantities and for a limited time only. |
| Our question to you is: Are you interested? If enough people are, then we might just be able to make it a reality. See below how to register your interest (or DIS-interest!) and over the next month or so we'll let you know what the response has been! |
| If you ARE interested in this idea, please email us on yes@marillion.com. We might be able to include MORE goodies in the box – such as guitar picks, drumsticks, and separate master audio files on a data DVD for you to remix – so if YOU have any suggestions as to what else we might include, please put that in your email, too. |
| If you're NOT interested, it's just as important for us to know why – please email us on no@marillion.com and feel free to add your comments as to why it’s not for you. |
| Thanks in advance for your feedback - we hope we can give you what you've been asking for. |
