Exclusively at HMV in the UK tomorrow. I love it. The CD is £5.99, vinyl LP is £13.99 and the cassette tape will be £7.99. I love that HMV have these exclusives and for the past 6 months there's been quite a few releases and singles that have been HMV only exclusives in the UK. I think more things like this need to be done.

    HMV are only selling it from tomorrow. It will be a Black Friday exclusive in American record stores next Friday. All the indie stores here aren't happy only HMV are getting it.

    where from? I've not seen it anywhere :confused: Unless you mean in the US? Coz it was out from last week over there.

    The CD's been out for a few months now, but the cassette itself isn't released in the UK till tomorrow. In regards to record stores not being happy about getting it, I don't think it's that big of a deal - if it was a vinyl, then fair enough, but this is more to do with a 'companion' to the movie release itself and the chances are people are going to buy it more of a 'souvenir' or token item, rather than an actual physical piece of media (Obviously there will be people who will play it, heck I would I've still got my tape decks haha - but I imagine the majority of people won't even have anything to play it on! :p )

    are you sure? They were only sent out to stores at the back end of last week with the DVD and other new releases... the CD version comes in a case that looks like it has a cassette inside though if you're thinking of that? The soundtrack itself and "The Awesome Mix" on CD has been out for a while. http://i.annihil.us/u/prod/marvel/i/mg/c/d0/53bef5f27de64.jpg

    Not the cassette? You mean a digital version of the album?

    I noticed a lot of HMV twitter pictures today showing them in stock. I think £7.99 is a bit much though.
