fatherotti Posted July 6, 2018 Posted July 6, 2018 I remember Tre saying the reason they didn't put any Pre Dookie music in Green Day Rock Band, was because the master tapes were too old and worn out. According to Tre himself, mastering them for the game would have ruined them. Something about the tapes possibly melting during the process. So how was this Sweet Children demo mastered for Turn It Around? Did Green Day/Warner music have digital backups, that they wouldn't let Harmonix have?

Probably this demo is only a rough stereo mix and that was the thing that was recorded. Is not like you have multitracks in a huge reel somewhere. You only got a lousy tape and that was transferred and polished a bit.

I was told this demo is sourced from a cassette tape from a certain someone’s personal collection :)

IcyMoffatt Posted July 9, 2018 Posted July 9, 2018 Amazon.ca has not yet shipped my order. I pre-ordered the movie like 3 weeks ago and it was supposed to be shipped last friday. But, for the moment, it's backorder.
desertrose Posted July 13, 2018 Posted July 13, 2018 Hope they ship soon, still waiting to get this from 1234Go
IcyMoffatt Posted July 23, 2018 Posted July 23, 2018 Did anyone beside me order the movie from Amazon.ca? I pre-ordered it and then it became backorder the day of the release. I'm looking at Amazon.com and it has it in stock while it is still backorder on the canadian store web site. I did get an email this week telling me they were trying their best to get the movie in stock. I'm really thinking to cancel my order and buy the movie from somewhere else, but I think I will have to pay the custom/border thing.

I’m in the US, but I had originally placed my order through amazon because, prime, but then the release date changed and I didn’t want to wait 2-3 extra weeks. So I cancelled that order and bought it from 1234 go. I don’t know what their international shipping is, but domestic was $5.00 and I had it within 5 days of placing my order.

International shipping from to the UK was rather expensive - about $25 for DVD & vinyl, $18 for dvd alone (which is almost as much as the $19.99 product). Plus, if the value of the package is more than £15 (so, everything more expensive than the DVD alone) then you have to pay customs fees. Pretty expensive 😕
Squashie Posted July 23, 2018 Posted July 23, 2018 geeez.... well @IcyMoffatt, I hope the canadian amazon store has it soon.

Pretty expensive 😕 Customs charges for my DVD and vinyl came to an additional £17, because Customs takes into account the shipping charges as well as the goods total, which always seems very unfair. I must admit that the shipping costs have been kept comparitively low by 1234 Go/Turn It Around, I have been stung much worse by other suppliers before. Hot Topic is particularly bad. Getting the DVD via Amazon was never an option on the UK store, only the vinyl, which is now selling for £32. Also I liked the idea that getting it via 1234 Go meant some of the profits go to charity.

So weird to see Billie that young and singing with a mic but no guitar. I wish there was more of that around. The video is probably from early 1987. Corbett Redford said in an interview that they were in the backyard playing when they were 14 at the time, so early '87 when they hadn't turned 15 yet. However, this video really confuses me. In an interview from 1995 Billie Joe said he never wanted to sing in the band, but he had to "otherwise would Mike kick my ass" said Billie. But in this clip he just sings without even playing guitar, I find that odd. lol i asked Marshall Stax for the demo and he said https://goo.gl/PkJACa i was about the first one to ask apparently

IcyMoffatt Posted July 27, 2018 Posted July 27, 2018 Update about my order: Amazon.ca sent me an email saying they now have a estimated date of when they will receive the movie in stock. Between August 28th and September 28th.

The movie is worth watching. In my case, I received good news today: my order shipped to my post office over the last weekend. I need to go pick it up tomorow.
IcyMoffatt Posted September 1, 2018 Posted September 1, 2018 Last year, I told my history teacher to watch the movie, that she might loved it and that it talks about punk, etc. I met her this week for the first time in months and I told her the movie was now available on dvd/bluray. She immediately said that she will present the movie to her class. Oh! YES!
Karl Karlson Posted September 24, 2018 Posted September 24, 2018 ANYONE here ordered from InterPunk? (maybe even someone from Europe?) I'm still waiting for the Vinyl, DVD/blu-ray and the MC...pretty pissed by now
Squashie Posted September 24, 2018 Posted September 24, 2018 @Karl Karlson When did you place your order? Have you contacted InterPunk and have you actually been charged for it? If you have been charged but do not have a confirmation of shipping, I'd be contacting them daily until you've received a shipping notice. I ordered from 1234 GO! and had it within a week, granted, I'm in the USA.

Got a confirmation of shipping at the end of July (!) with a tracking number that doesn't work (...), and since then they haven't replied. Wrote on their FB page and sent SEVERAL e-mails - no reply. Just now I opened a case with PayPal and immediately reported it to PP, since it's been way too long to be acceptable. Thanks for your response and the tips
