U2 Q Magazine - December 2011 Edition

[@lmighty DS]

went by a B&N sat. night. didn't have the mag at all. not the new issue i mean. ive already bought the album on itunes but id like to read the articles on AB

Just to add to everybody else experience, my local B&N also does not have the CD with the magazine.  They told me the magazine has not come with CDs for quite some time now.

I think I read there was some kind of copyright issue about selling the magazines with cd's in the U.S., don't know if there's any truth to that or not.

A lot of B & Ns have stopped selling Q. Bastards. I have seen Q sold here with the CDs but who knows. Why couldn't Borders have eeked it out for one more holiday season?

They have the mag now at the local BN, but no CD. I want the actual CD, not just the download from Itunes!

Any aussies need a copy? I'll likely have a couple of spares next week. With postage and the like it would probably come in around the $25 mark which might make it a bit expensive... but if you've not been able to find one let me know.

Wow, I got the magazine without the CD (as a gift) and I have to say this is a bloody awful magazine. Bad jokes, bad interviews, mediocre writing, uninteresting content, way too much surface and product lameness. I hope there are better music mags out there, there sure must be better music out there.

[briscoetheque]

Oh yeah, Q went to sh** many years ago.

First shock of this kind came with my first purchase of NME in 2005 or so. That is cultural toxic waste, not journalism. Uncut is pretty good though in comparison, but I'm not a regular reader so can't form a final opinion.

Click on the thumbnails - it's easier to read that way!

                     

According to the UK person who provided this: This was released in UK today. It comes with the CD, in a jewel case, with liner notes.

I saw it today in one magazine store. It costs 12$ here. But I think that its only magazine, without CD, in a jewel case, with liner notes.
I would buy it right now if CD and other things are inside but if its not I will think about it.

I didn't feel like trying to read the scans online, so I bought it, even minus the CD.  The article--eh.  I wish it had focused more on AB, actually.  I can see why people were worried about the defeatist vibe in the interview--and I was surprised, given the adulation here, about their impression of Glastonbury.  Though I guess the adulation here shouldn't surprise me at all--this was the first I'd read of their own impression of it, though, after hearing nothing but praise here.  I still dig the covers album, though.  Very glad they released it as a download for us yanks.

eBay is a good bet. There's some good sellers with it at present.

your best bet would be to email greatmagazines.co.uk and ask if you can purchase one copy directly. Sometimes they sell individual copies but they're not doing it explicitly at present. They have GREAT customer service though and I'm sure would be able to help you out.

I went with eBay, and I got the CD and magazine for GBP 8, plus shipping at 3.50, so I'm happy. Thank you for your help!

I rate the album 7/10, and the sound quality 8/10. The person who did the mastering actually did less damage than the persons mastering U2's latest CDs!

[briscoetheque]

yeah the CD is great. Just wish Jack White had played a solo on Love is Blindness :-(

OK, I am not buying it.

Our (I'm talking about Croatia) has NOTHING but magazine itself. And articles about U2 inside are not the same as its shown in this thread. I asked employer in the store, shouldn't this magazine come with CD in jewel case and with liner notes and he said "No, others were asking the same, looking for it also, but you know, this is Croatia...!". F**** Croatia!!
It was said to me that the magazine with CD and the things inside was only for UK market.

I was also checking on amazon for it, but couldn't find it. There are a lot of Q magazine editions but they are all different. And they ARE really expensive!!
