I would just as soon purchase the cd in some store or another myself. I rememeber skipping class back in grade 11 to buy Music @ Work the second the store opened. It was all about the trek to get the album.

Absolutely...taking it to another level, I remember lining up outside the old "House of Sounds" in Kingston at midnight in anticipation of FC's release (October 1992 if memory serves). I remember it was packed with literally hundreds of fans and they had the disc blasting throughout the store...one of my roommates actually won an autographed litho of the FC cover that night...

I've also pre-ordered CDs in the past...it's just not the same...

Yeah, I also remember lining up outside the old House of Sounds back in Kingston. CKLC was playing The Hip all the time that night, and there were lots of rumours that the boys were going to show up at the store. Of course, that never happened, but the atmosphere was still incredible. Nothing like a group of die hard Hip fans in their home town.

As for this CD, I think I might have to order it online... I'll be out of the country when it's released, and it would be nice to have it waiting for me when I get back.

I was also there that night at House of Sounds, and if I remember correctly, with every purchase you received a Gargoyle pin. What a great night, and I sure hope that one of the record stores in Toronto has a midngith release event!
