Yep Rock is offering a bonus cd with 3 extra tracks to the frist 500 people who pre-order Shrunken Heads at $19.98 including USA shipping (ouch).
I was having trouble with their web site & emailed them. They wrote back:
"We've had so many loyal Ian Hunter fans hitting our site that it's slowed us down, but you should be able to order now. We've had a good response, but you're still comfortably within the limit to get the bonus disc."
I purchased the set (although $20 for something i won't get for over 45 days is painful!).
Here's the notice from Yep Rock:
Preorder Shrunken Heads at the Yep Roc Web Shop
http://store.yeproc.com/album.php?id=12353
and download three bonus MP3s! The tracks - "Your Eyes," "Wasted," and "Real Or
Imaginary" - will be available in your Stash right away. The first 500
orders will also receive the tracks on a bonus disc!
As the leader of seminal seventies band Mott the Hoople, Ian Hunter
ripped straight through the hypocrisy and broken ideals of the hippie
generation, cutting a jagged swath through popular music and paving
the way for the punk rock revolution. Hunter's interpretation of the
David Bowie-penned classic 'All the Young Dudes' made him an icon
and further work with legendary Bowie guitarist Mick Ronson cemented
his position as underground rock 'n' roll royalty. After Mott the
Hoople's final break-up in 1974, Ian Hunter pressed on as a solo artist
releasing 11 solo albums to date. Now, with Shrunken Heads, the man
that has influenced bands from The Clash to Oasis is still affecting
today's most groundbreaking artists (Jeff Tweedy collaborates on
three tracks), recording with his beloved band (Soozie Tyrell [E Street
Band] Graham Maby [Joe Jackson] among other luminary sidemen) and
offering characteristically wry commentary on today's political climate.
Listen to "Words (Big Mouth)" from the new album, Shrunken Heads!
