Hi everyone,
I thought I'd share with you all my most recent purchase, which arrived in the post last week. For people who don't know, Elton John, my most favourite singer, released a brand new studio album in September. The album is called "The Diving Board" and I bought the 15 track Standard Edition of the album on release day. However, I had to wait a while to get what I'm going to show you now.....are you ready for it?!
"The Diving Board - Super Deluxe Edition"!
I'm very excited!
"The Diving Board - Super Deluxe Edition" comes in a nice size box that feels like it was done on canvas.
It is a Limited Edition, only 5000 (I'm unsure if that's per country or all up), it even shows you on the back what number it is. I have 2653/5000!
When you open the box, there's a black ribbon there to help lift the box contents out. The box contains the 15-track double vinyl LP in a gatefold sleeve, a print of the picture used for the album cover and a nice hard-cover book, which has the 19-track extended CD and bonus DVD, featuring Elton live at Capitol Studios in the back.
I feel it is nicely packaged together, I actually thought that the CD and DVD would be in the digipack version you see at the stores labelled as the Deluxe Edition but I was proven wrong. Had they done what I thought, the CD/DVD case would have been sliding loosely around the inside of the box.
If you're an Elton fan and you don't have the album yet, I suggest you get this as soon as you can.
Stay tuned for my review of "The Diving Board".
