What is an "Easter Egg"?
In the context of software (get that Cadbury Bunny out
of your head!), an Easter Egg is a hidden feature or
novelty that the programmers have put in their
software. In general, it is any hidden, entertaining
thing that a creator hides in their creation only for
their own personal reasons. This can be anything from
a hidden list of the developers, to hidden commands,
to jokes, to funny animations.

According to 101 cds, it will be quite reasonable...

Tower are showing a release date of 17th January, and state the following on their site:
This would tend to indicate that it is in PAL and not NTSC format, what with the UK/European standard being PAL. It is region free however, so as long as all of you US based people have a means of handling PAL formatted discs, you will have no region encoding to get around.Note: This DVD will only play on Region 2 or multi-region DVD players.

Note my post above where I state that Tower Records have it listed as a 17th January 2005 release... today is only the 7th so there are still 10 days to go.laughingcrow wrote:Had a look in 3 HMV's, and 2 Virgins...no plums, no pineapples, no bananas and no satsumas...the whole search was fruitless.

Looks like it's sufferering from Monkey To Man Single Syndrome.Tim(e) wrote:I feel that there is something decidedly odd about this supposed release... the title is not listed online at Amazon UK, HMV UK, or CD-Wow, and the site linked to above has is as being released but "Usually Dispatched within 4-10 Working Days"... things that make you go, hmmmmm.

Here we go:
MVC now list it as 'release date to be confirmed'
101cd as available
Play.com: not currently available
Tower: isn't listed but I'm pretty sure it was last week
Woolworths: release date to be confirmed
Virgin Megastores Online: not listed (which probably means they have 100 of them...)
Amazon, HMV, WHSmith: never listed as far as I know
They're probably waiting for Elvis to record his "director's commentary" and considering how long it sometimes took him to write his re-release notes, we could be waiting a while.

Since no one can find out about the Costello
DVD via retail sources maybe it would best to ask
Demon themselves. Incredibly they don't seem to have a
website/address ; maybe someone in the U.K. might like
to try writing to them/ phoning them/ faxing them .
Work means I cannot do anything myself today - does
anyone here have the time ?

Maybe Demon have gone bust. That would explain lack of DVD and ceased phone line.
Here's a link that gives a different phone number (01932 770068).

I've just tried ringing it but it just goes over to a fax machine. It is after 5 so it may be worth a call in the morning.
