Half.com has some copies of Bless You at very competitive prices, especially if you don't mind promo notches in the spine.

I couldn't work out badorb.com either, but it did look nice while I was clicking through. I have found another UK supplier for Bless You here http://search.cdzone.co.uk/ but if you do the maths, I am still almost three pounds better off getting it from the US at CDNOW!!! Talk about rip-off britain. In the meantime, while I wait '9 to 14 days' for my exquisite parcel, I will placate myself with this as my wallpaper http://www.tsew.net/glasto/stages/pages/DSCF0011_JPG.htm You should have been there 8) Billy -> rachel wrote:
Woo hoo!
Got my cd copy of Bless You today - NOT from BadOrb, I might add, but rather my fairy Godmother. First off, the packaging is *so* exquisite that I found it hard to believe it was actually a badorb product! :-P Seriously, though, its a lovely greyscale booklet with all the critters next to the appropriate tracklisting. (I'll get a scan up on my site tomorrow sometime, in case anyone's interested.)
And the cd is most excellent! I know its contrary to how most of you feel out there, but a cd is so liberating compared to vinyl! I mean, I can listen to it anywhere! Yeehaw! I have renewed enthusiasm for the music now! The Cool Harbour track (by the Orb) is superb, and was included in LX's dj set when he came through SF last time (IIRC, which I don't always do) - its a groovy little tune which chugs along like a rhythmic train!
(BTW, I sent a pretty blunt email to sales@badorb.com expressing some of my frustration yesterday.)
So for those of you still waiting, it sure is a treat when it arrives!

If anyone else is listening to Radio1 can they confirm they just heard Briggy Smale say that the Essential Festival is cancelled. More news is promised on air within the hour. I'm off down the pub for lunch but if someone else can get to listen to this (live stream at www.bbc.co.uk/radio1 ) and confirm to the list I would be very grateful. Billy
It's unfortunately official. The Essential Festival in Hackney Marshes (London) has been cancelled. More details can be found 9 mins 45 secs into this; http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/media/news/main_news/newsbeat.ram Please note this file will be updated with a new report at roughly 18:00 BST today. If The Orb are now at a loose end on 3rd August I'll be happy to put a tent up in my back garden, invite a few mates over and stream it over the internet. How about it?
From a very sad Billy :(
