Lilasko Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 But it's really not going to make any difference if they release it in Sweden after they release it in the UK. The process is still going to take just as long. Just think of it this way. Now you are getting the album in your hands earlier. Okay, you're right and yeah that's true didn't thought of that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sofi_4 Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 you perfectly make sense don't worry but Mikalandia works the other way round most of the times well, thank you! at least I know I'm not that crazy now I don't get it either, it's really confusing and in my opinion not very smart to release it in the rest of the world first and then UK yeah, completely agree Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mibuck24 Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 aw man! I just realized that amazon is much cheaper than the mikasounds order... I should have thought this through more thoroughly... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaraMay Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 I'm confused, I thought it was being released in Japan on Sept 11th? What's up with this Oct date? http://www.amazon.com/Origin-Love-Mika/dp/B008GVGIWY/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1342728392&sr=8-1&keywords=MIKA+The+Origin+Of+Love http://www.cduniverse.com/productinfo.asp?pid=8797279 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Sky Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 Well Universal Japan has it listed for October 3. http://www.universal-music.co.jp/mika/news/2012/08/0824/ and Amazon Japan doesn't list the local version, only the import, not available until Oct 16.

LaraMay Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 Oh, ok, then I'll probably order the french version. Just hope it will arrive quickly. The last few days of waiting for this album are the hardest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guylainem123 Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 Just got an email back from HMV Canada, they have no info on the track listing yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christine Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 Just got an email back from HMV Canada, they have no info on the track listing yet I'll ask the woman on that Universal form. Maybe she has an assistant that will answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christine Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 Okay the marketing manager at Universal Canada has confirmed that we are getting the France version in Canada with the French bonus tracks and the remixes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valmont69 Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 I'm really dissapointed with the artwork... I missed the old homemade artsy ones And my gf is a 2D-3D artist and she said it was a crime to see the bevel effect. It's really cheap photoshop-wise... So she made me a new avatar :thumb_yello: Seems not so original to me. I didn't expect the same colourful ones, I like the idea of b&w, but I was accustomed to more creativity...

crazyaboutmika Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 (edited) I love Mika in black and white Remove the gold marks and you get my netbook screen when my husband is away But you never know with Mika...for TBWKTM, the first cover that was shown was also a pic of Mika in a field of hay , then it was all changed to the one we know I hope this one stays because I'm in love with the photo (even better without the gold) I just learned that there will be a vinyl, but I was told it was too late to order one in the local CD shop I go to.

I got the vinal of WAG when it came out, as well as the cd. It means Mika sells more records it there is a vinal too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lilasko Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 (edited) Now you can preorder it in swedish stores. But only the standard CD from what I can see. And it will be released the 19th of September. http://cdon.se/musik/mika/the_origin_of_love-21223191 I think the set list is the same as the UK version. 1Origin of Love 2Lola 3Stardust 4Make You Happy 5Underwater 6Overrated 7Kids 8Love You When I'm Drunk 9Step With Me 10Popular Song 11Emily 12Heroes" 13Celebrate" (featuring Pharell Williams) 14Make You Happy" (Miami Edit) Edited August 28, 2012 by Lilasko Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've felt incredibly stupid with this whole pre-ordering. I'd love to get the UK deluxe version but I'm not sure what is the best way to order it and it annoys me that it's being released later than the other versions (or have I misunderstood something again? ).

Marilyn Mastin Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 I don't know if this has been said... but... I'd advise ppl to be sure to get their own country's version. If anyone wants another version aswell. Or one that's released earlier, that's great. But to make sure he sells well in every country, each country's own version should be on our shopping list for sooner, or later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely, we should I'm ordering the deluxe French version but I'll be buying the Swedish/European version at my local record shop when I see it there. Just hope more Swedes do as well so he can come over here and perform again (instead of just recording his album here) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly have no idea. I haven't been looking very closely into this and in all honesty I'm so confused at the moment I think I'll just order the first one I can get easily, which would be one from a local record shop.

Apparently Mika is collaborating with my favourite record shop because they seem to be releasing OOL on the 14th of September instead of the 17th. I refuse to believe this is an error on their website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The answer to this question would solve all my Mika-problems. I wanna pre-order from mikasounds (they give a poster ), but if I will need to wait until October 8th to get the album, then no, thanks.. I can find another place where to buy it (presumably, earlier and cheaper). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
