so... but i'll find a way.
28 pounds is the cost for delivering an item via priority express. A safe and quick way to receive an order, but quite expensive. So you might consider the Airmail delivery, which has a cost of less than 4 GBP for CD's. I ordered my copy to http://www.Play.com (they ship all items for free), but they currently ship only in Europe countries.

Chris & management

Post by Zgred »

As always truth lies somewhere between Jennifer's and Marcolino's.
I think it's a mix of the great individualist and typical commercial management that has a work to do. They can even don't listen to his music.

I just thought about it and at first glance almost agreed with JW. Yeah - we are the fans that created today's Chris Rea, he never said "thanks"......... all true. But then... a question. Do I listen to the one that says "thank you my dear fans, thank you"? The one that smiles to every flash of camera? Or the one that makes music for masses? HELL NOT! I chose the one that writes music not for me, but for himself and his closest people rather. I see this is the point. Everyone is making music that everyone would like to hear and forget soon. But as long Chris is different, his music is also different. I really respect what he (probably) respects, he's not a showman type and for each one of us he's special, but let's say this, we are somehow like a crowd (not that's something bad). But paying full attention to each fan, each day, including press etc. is something each of us could not bear.

So - let him be, whomever he wants to be... we know him as rather shy person, and his music is such different that some "fancies" we should forgive. Think of it as side effects. He records not just sorta bluesy music but... you know as well what. [EDIT: Please don't use this word], people, it's still our Chris!!!!!

PS. Hey Bart, maybe you're right you'll receive more attention by asking if you can date Josephine??? :smt025

Why don´t you try to ask from someone who lives in Europe to buy and send that Blue Guitars to India? I´m sure that if civilian person sends it that will cost less money than if the Amazon etc. sends it. Obviously it would be smart to get it from closest European country as possible so it won´t cost that much.
Too many good words to add here.
I better just sit back and drink beer. :)

True! =D>
You're right, that should cut down the cost severely.
Just I'm not sure if saying this loud is absolutely legal... ;)
