I hope you find it!! I know country stores can be a bit slow. I've found that Sanity usually has it on the day of release, but BigW can be almost a week behind release date!

Guys, I'm a bit worried about something... Sorry if this has already been answered, but I didn't read all of the thread - I'm on my aunt's computer on dial-up and it takes WAY too long. My mum pre-ordered CTW on the Sanity website for me (nice surprise! ) and I got an e-mail today to say it had been dispatched already, so does that purchase count towards the charts? I really wanted to do my bit towards getting D to #1 and now I'm afraid that it won't count at all... Do you know anything about that?

hey SJ, if you go here www.dleithonline.proboards101.com/index.cgi?board=action&action=display&thread=3374&page=1 there is a discussion happening regarding the pre-sales etc. ;D

So glad you are able to get the album

Thanks Roxy

I've been reading some very lukewarm reviews for Madonna's new CD. Apparently she's given the production over to Timberland and Justin Timberlake, it's designed to get her chart success in the U.S, but she's sacrificed a lot of her individuality.
I still say "Ray Of Light" is her best CD ever!
Anyway, I'll be buying Damien's CD first, Madonna can wait a while.

Sunshine, you should start a Madonna Thread in the Music Discussion, in the Members area.

Happy Braffy. I just got a text from my brother to say that he has bought it.

2 hours ago my friend told me that she has requested it for Mothers' Day. (this is a friend who lives in the country area and hasn't heard much of Damien. only via me - you know - yakkity yak yak yak. Plus I have sent the Old Man video and Wild World video.) She also saw Damien on The Morning Show this morning singing Annie's Song.

I just started a new job and I found out one of the partners here is a fan of Damien and has downloaded Where We Land. Furthermore, his wife is an even bigger fan and had bought both Winner’s Journey and WWL in the first week of release. So I asked him today if she had bought his new album yet, to which he said he wasn’t sure if she knew about it. After I told him she ought to get it (“this week, as we’re trying to get him to No. 1”) he said once she knows about the new album she will probably have it playing by the time he gets home tonight!
I’ve bought three copies (one for me, one for a friend, and one for my Mum who I converted at Xmas –she watched the Winners Journey DVD over and over and loves him).

I went to a friend's 60th birthday. He requested no presents, just presence ;D so, of course i had to give him Damien's CTW. He'll love it and will no doubt go to the concert at Revesby because I wrapped it with a tour flyer Getting the next one tomorrow at westfield so i can enter the contest

[Nuffy]

Just my message for lovers of Damien's music (and especially our casual visitors to DLO):

Hi
Besides buying the album (from ARIA accredited stores) and encouraging others to as well, we can do a bit more to help get the word out about Damien's amazing work. How about requesting Damien's songs on your local radio?

I'm thinking that with the huge sales of Catch the Wind (CTW) people are rediscovering Damien's previously released singles. So, we could be requesting ANYTHING previously released by Damien.
But more useful for Catch the Wind, I thought we could target certain radio stations and request their studio recordings Damien did during his interview with them.

Sorry, I don't have all the links. If there are any mistakes someone will let me know and I'll fix this - they were all over the place! Also, any missed interview songs.
