I wonder when the exclusive Amazon.co.uk blu-ray version will be announced?

I am really hoping that it still happens for us UK fans!

I wonder when the exclusive Amazon.co.uk blu-ray version will be announced?

The BluRay disc is exclusive only for Amazon US while all records shops will be free to sell the European BluRay release.

That review is fabulous and a good read. Methinks a serious fan of Cohen wrote that piece.

sorry for repeating myself...but i dont really get it.
im looking at amazon.de and theres just a "double-CD"-set and an import of the "US-CD"....no words about DVD or bluray....Im confused

[jarkko]

"Double CD" is a bit misleading, actually it means CD+DVD
I'm sure they will list the BluRay sooner or later

[dannycarey]

thanks..ok....hope so;)

dannycarey,
I had the same problem! At amazon.com they offer the same product. It has the same ASIN.

Scroll down to 'Editorial Reviews'.

This CD/DVD package contains the new, beautiful film documentary by Lerner featuring interviews with fellow festival performers, as well as Cohen's full performance on CD. All tracks are previously unreleased (sans bits of "Suzanne" which were featured in the documentary Message to Love, also by Lerner). Included are live versions of classic songs from the first two Leonard Cohen LPs: "So Long, Marianne," "The Stranger Song," "Hey, That's No Way To Say Goodbye," "Suzanne," "Bird On The Wire," "You Know Who I Am," and "The Partisan" as well as spoken word and poetry.

Isolde

Looks like there are to versions of the CD/DVD:
one for US: Label: Sony Legacy ASIN: B002KREVE2 and one for europe: Label: Col (Sony Music) ASIN: B002MSG5UC.
Both are available at amazon.com and amazon.de and the product details are misleading.

Only 4 stars and they're calling the amazing DVD "bizarre" and Cohen's wonderful hair "greasy"... Unbelievable!

[John Etherington]
