Bump: added pre-order details to the first post.

Storm Thorgerson should hang his head in shame for that cover. I think the poster art for Hop is better than this pretentious crapfest.

When I first read your comment I thought it said "the poster art for IHOP is better than this pretentious crapfest." Actually, that would have been true too. I've liked a lot of Thorgerson's work in the past but this one may be an early contender for worst album cover of 2011.

Looks like Stevie's following the same path as his last release "Bingo !" and putting out 30-35 minutes of music for a full retail price, and adding three or four tunes to jack the price up $ 4 - $ 5.

"Bingo" was rather enjoyable, and I know he's not the only artist guilty of this, but it's rather hard to respect the classification of "Special" or "Deluxe" Edition at an additional expense when the
total package is still weighing in anywhere near the low 40 minute mark.

On the other hand, if it was twice as long because of filler, that wouldn't make it any better.

I agree J.D. !

I'm just decrying the practice of reaming the consumer in the first place. I don't see anything "Special" or "Deluxe" about a release that clocks in anywhere near the 40 minute mark with the inclusion of the additional
tracks unless it includes something unique in the packaging, like Bruce's recent "Darkness" release or the leather tasseled Woodstock 40th anniversary DVD set. An extra set of pages in the booklet just doesn't cut
it..........

steve miller is the poster child for the aging rock star.

not one, but two, albums of covers within a year.

and the additional tracks (for more money), which give the CD a total time 40 minutes is, in plain and simple terms, bullshit.
