With each drop, I ordered each Collector's Edition CD. However as time went by I felt increasingly uncomfortable with having spent over £75 on four CDs! This past week I cancelled/received refunds for three of them.
I've kept my order of "The Manuscript" version of the Collector's Edition CD. Even though it's not my favourite out of the four artworks, I decided to keep this one because it was my cheapest order. I had used a 10% discount code to order it, so instead of being £16.99 it was £15.29. + £2.50 shipping = £17.79, instead of £19.49. I'd bought the other three for £19.49 each... so my refund was £58.47 in total. I have to admit that I feel better for having made the decision to only get one CD! Honestly, I didn't feel all that good about buying all four 1989 Taylor's Version CDs... I realised afterwards that one would have sufficed. I think it's the case for me that during preorders I can get carried away with feeling like I want many different items, then ultimately I realise that I didn't need them. ~~~ I didn't order any vinyl variant during the individual drops, or when they initially came back. I finally took the plunge yesterday though. I ordered The Black Dog version on vinyl because that actually is my favourite artwork! Plus, I had a different 10% discount code to use. Normal price of £33.99 reduced to £30.59. + £4.25 shipping = £34.84, instead of £38.24. ~~~ Long story short, my orders are: - Collector's Edition Deluxe CD + Bonus Track "The Manuscript" - Special Edition Vinyl + Bonus Track "The Black Dog" |

I do have all 4 cds on orders but echoing the feelings above. I think this’ll be the last album I get them all because it was cool enough for midnighrs but I’ve grown tired of it now

I have seen people try to sell it on ebay for £39 with an make offer tab, that might be worth a go if you can't buy on the official site or from a fan.

I wonder why the first deluxe variant is the hardest one to get.
I dropped a lot of money to buy all the variants, but I love her so much that I don't regret it. |

I wonder if the Targets CDs will become available via HMV in the UK? I see they're available via her UK store but not sure if they'll remain exclusive to it.
 I had wondered whether the The Albatross/The Bolter/The Black Dog would end up being released as standard CDs. I might end up getting those but I will first wait and see if they end up sold by HMV. It makes me extra glad that I didn't go through with 4 x Collector's Edition Deluxe CDs, because ultimately that was for different packaging and some other random "artifacts" and personally it's not something I feel I really need four times over, even if it's all different designs! |

Part of me wants to cancel the 3 deluxe ones and reorder as the ones they are now cos it’ll be cheaper and only one x postage but also part of me can’t be bothered 😭 cos I’d have to do it individually for each one (talking from past experience 😝) plus sometimes they say the order is already processed so they can’t even do the refund 😭

Do we think there’ll be another physical release of The Anthology version?

I’ve only got the collector’s edition of the manuscript and that’s it this time round - I think the midnights clock and the 1989 colour covers broke me
 I love the collector’s edition tho it’s so cool!I only have CDs for display purposes nowadays (or bonus tracks that aren’t gonna be on streaming for ages) so I think this is the era where I’m finally gonna stop overspending haha! I missed the signed CD drop - and tbh I’m not sure if I need another signed album atp esp when they feel less exclusive! The only other version I’d buy is if the anthology gets a CD release! I’d snap that up immediately. (Oh and I also bought on iTunes cos that’s a great price for 31 tracks, it’s my first purchase since love story Taylor’s version!) |
