Robben Ford Discussion

sfhalo

I just saw an announcement on Larry Carlton's website for the upcoming CD release of "Larry Carlton with Special Guest Robben Ford Live in Tokyo" on January 31. Considering how great the 3-song Divx video is that's on the Internet, I'm sure the CD will be fantastic. And, a DVD should follow in the not-to-distant future! Here's a pic of the CD cover:

I read that the cd (Japanese import) will be available here in the US on 2/15...

Interesting experience today. I tried ordering through one of the Japanese websites, which gave me a price of 18.xx USD (excellent price, I thought!), however, at final checkout where the shipping charges were revealed, it turned out to be around 30 USD total, which amounts to what cdnow (free shipping) and cduniverse (minimal shipping) will be charging. So. I discontinued the purchase and decided to wait another week to purchase here in the States from one of the two sites I'm used to dealing with...

Thanks for the date update for the LC/RF cd. Since placing my order with cdUniverse, I've received two followup messages saying they're putting the order together.........whatever that means! More than likely, just waiting for their shipment to arrive from Japan. I'll post a message when my order arrives. So far, I've been very patient, but did consider canceling the import and waiting for the US version to be released.

Since I placed my order for the LC-RF Live in Tokyo CD in January, I've been receiving periodic updates from CD Universe. Today's update changed the expected delivery date to JANUARY 5, 2009! Needless to say, the US version should be released before that! Just for kicks, I'm leaving it on order with them to see what happens.

I sprung for this a couple weeks ago. Same seller. I got here from Japan in 7 calendar days!!! Better than some US vendors.
I know it's a few bucks more, but you gotta do whatcha gotta do.

BTW, it's a great cd. Nice to hear RF do some new tunes. I'm glad I got it.

This is getting crazy. Now, cdnow and cduniverse are both advertising 2 different LC with RF cds, each slightly different titles and from different labels. One is already out, and the other will be released in a few weeks...
