Hi, I go to the store page. Only the one CD is showing up - but when I enter a quantity of 1 and hit add to cart, it shows to the right that one item
is the cart (so far so good). Then when I hit try and checkout it says no items are in your cart.

the ambition within has been hidden from the store. i assume that means it's out of stock. i've sent an email to chris and i'll post
what i find out here when i do.
as for the store forgetting what you want to buy - a setting was changed by the website hosts and it broke the store i wrote. it's for the best
though - since i rewrote some of it just now it's more secure. it should all work as expected now. thanks for bringing that to my attention.

i'm sure chris would have sent you an email if you'd ordered when they'd already run out (if they even have - haven't heard
back yet). so sit tight for now.

they have indeed run out. he's not sure if they're going to have more made - he's not sure he'll sell enough to cover the
pressing costs.
livid, i'm pretty sure yours has been sent out - he would have refunded you if he didn't have a CD to send.

Hey Bart
just an idea maybe somehow you could talk to Schembri and make the album availible via pay and download
Just aa idea...that way Chris doesn't have to pay for a whole new batch of discs

i noticed some errors in the Fear of Fading cd booklet. in the Step Up lyrics, it starts off with "Mabe" when it should be
"maybe" and in Live To Imitate, it starts off with "lieto" instead of "live to"
but im sure those have been mentioned before

yeah, i spotted those after sending the artwork off. in my defence i was in a hurry redoing the artwork... we all make mistakes. i suggest you get
some tipp-ex and correct your copy.
it still beats the first edition though.

My copy doesn't have typos (save for the usual case where some words aren't in the booklet, possibly due to changes later, etc but hell,
what cd booklet DOESN'T have that?), what crazy World are you living in?

then you have an original copy. the artwork was all lost before the second batch was made. chris had the inlay scanned, and i reconstructed the edges
from nothing (you need to provide more picture so it goes right to the edge when it's cut - that's called bleed). i also redid the inside
completely. the thankyous page on the second batch isn't very good - the text is blurry. that's as good as it could get, though, since i
didn't have the artwork underneath to put new, crisp text on.
so that's why your copy is different sin. i have one of each - aren't i lucky.

yeah i have one of the earlier ones too. i also found it cool that there were mistakes for some reason. looking back on it that was a dumb thing to
think.

Oh drat. I've been a fan for years and finally got a PayPal account up and running, only to find two of the three albums unavailable!
Well...to be fair I never saw King of the Castle for sale, but you know what I mean.
Did The Livid get many copies of The Ambition Within out to any of the indie record stores? I must find a copy of it! If I can't get one here,
I'm forced to look elsewhere.

i'm going to set up a pay-to-download system for all three CDs. chris wasn't keen on the idea when i mentioned it, but there's
nothing to lose, and he will make some money from nothing. i'm busy these days though. i'll keep you posted.

Just a word of caution - you may want to wait to place orders once the download is set up. I ordered a number of items back in August and never
received anything - kind of a bummer...

Same here. Ordered a few weeks ago and haven't gotten anything. Is the store still working or should it be taken down?

I'd like to order some stuff but I'm hesitant with all these comments about people not receiving their stuff. Maybe someone could confirm
the status of the store for me.
The Livid rocks!! I live in BC so I never got to see them. I'd love to get a copy of The Ambition Within, but I guess I never will now
I'd still order the other one as long as I know the store is still running.
Rock on!

give it a while - i'm in the process of investigating these comments. thing is, i'm sure chris would have told me if he wasn't going
to sell merch anymore, but still people say they aren't receiving their stuff. we'll see.
