Thank you Jarkko for taking the time to look into this for us. I feel a little better about my cancelled order now that I know what was posted by the Pledge Music people was probably just a standard "we need more time..." line meant to let everyone know they are aware there is an unusual delay going on and are looking into it. Wishing you and your family a very happy holiday season!

Cheers,
Dave

Hi
Another small update, directly from Tony Palmer (thanks to Dominique Boile):
Be patient.
Just delayed.
Definitely not "closed".
Let's wait and see...

I had ordered the Deluxe Boxset...
Then due to multiple delays said I would cancel if it wasn't going ahead...
Got a refund as they had no delivery date...
Got another email saying delivery would be delayed - ( I had already had a refund at this point)...
Contacted then again saying if the project was going ahead I would like to re-instate my order..
Then today got this email...


Hi FOXWOOD,

Following up on this,

As it looks this campaign will be moving forward however is subject to further delays could you please confirm if you wish to re-instate the order and if so which items you wished to receive?

Thanks for the update! Maybe, despite the fact there is no actual information that it will happen, there will be a release of the material at some point.
As said before I am keen to buy it, but will wait until release date is confirmed.

No I do not have news, but the fact that the Pledgemusic website were the release was offered before it was closed hasn’t had an update since August last year doesn’t make me optimistic that this release will ever happen.
