I just rang Warner to find out if the special edition of Noël will be available in Australia with the CD/DVD in Target. They said that they are not getting it here. When I told her what a shame that was because so many people here want it, she said, at least before Christmas they won't be getting it. But it sounded like she was kind of back-pedalling, so I wouldn't take that as a sign of hope Looks like we'll have to make sure we get a copy from overseas people! P.S. I think it'd be a good idea to let them know how much we want the special edition here...if you want to give Warner a call to ask if it'll be available, and take the opportunity to tell them that lots of people you know would like it too (there are over 85 on our website!), that would be great. They may just sit up and listen. (02) 9950 1500.

see the problem there is "Target". because they said the same with the double disc verisons of Closer and Awake. only music stores ended up carrying the double disc versions. so id try somewhere like JB Hi-Fi (thats where i go they are always cheaper anyways)

On FOJG they said the CD/DVD is only available through Target...and when I spoke to the lady at Warner today, she didn't say they're not getting it at Target, she just said they're not getting it here at all...
Having said that, if that's the same as what happened last time, then check wherever you can! But unfortunately I don't know that I would count on it...

That is a shame . Just something else we'll have to order I guess! Should be used to it by now Damn Warner! Obviously Josh has a following here, and that CD/DVD would be an amazing Christmas gift. Sometimes I swear they just don't get it.

on the FOJG board arent they talking US release in regards to target? sorry im not trying to say your wrong, dont take it that way; its just i know that all sales figures that go to aria for charts etc are only counted from places within australia when purchased from stores like big w, target, k-mart, myer/grace bros and david jones. sanity, virgin, jb hi-fi and other retailers sales dont count towards aria charts - which in my opinion is completely stupid! but no i will definitely be checking at other stores. i know that with awake the single disc version was released at all stores including target etc and jb's and then i think a week or 2 weeks later the double disc edition came out in specialized music stores. well in SA anyways. best of luck getting it though. i cant wait to get my copy im gonna ring bout it this weekend. if not theres always amazon

I agree Linda! I think we really need to start jumping up and down and making a fuss...Warner really needs to get their act together and start giving Josh the promo he deserves...
I mean, how many sold out shows will it take to get their attention???
If everyone here can ring them I'm sure it'll, at the very least, get on their nerves enough to do something about it! lol

Hi Celeste, thanks I didn't know that about the Aria charts...dang! That means all those Awake albums I bought at JB didn't make any difference at all to his Aussie chart status Anyway, I know for next time now thanks! I really don't know about the special edition here...all I know is what the lady said, but it may be completely wrong...I'll be checking the shops here too of course! (I can't possibly walk into a music shop without checking out their Josh section lol) Best of luck getting your hands on it! I hope all us Aussie Grobies can get one

If everyone here can ring them I'm sure it'll, at the very least, get on their nerves enough to do something about it! lol I KNOW! It's like they think, oh well he sold a pretty good amount of tickets yet we'll still go back to the way we were in terms of promoting him. i.e. do absolutely nothing. It's such a shame, I thought things would have changed after his tour. Like maybe see an increase of Awake being promoted on the telly - instead of that bad 7:30am Sunrise slot! I thought they would have, given they usually do it for other artists. I think contacting Warner is a good idea, maybe we can start sending them postcards too asking for Noel? At least they can get actual evidence in their mail box LOL. I didn't know that thing about ARIA charts either! It's such a sham though, 'cause the whole ARIA thing is based on sales shipped to stores, not units sold. ] I think JB would be your best bet of getting it as they usually get in import items.

Where did you get your cd/dvd combo from, Rosette? Was it through another fan from America?

Mine arrived from the States today. Three cheers for the US grobies!!!
I've watched the DVD three times and listed to the CD once. My neighbours must think I'm crazy!!! I love watching the "Making of..." DVD's that Josh has done. They totally crack me up! ;D

They're available at Target America stores. An exclusive deal with Target USA, and Target USA alone. I don't get why it wasn't made available thru Josh's fan club (fojg). I like the look of the Christmas ornament, but the cd/dvd/ornament combo would have been an EXCELLENT deal
