The famous, but up to now unseen, live DVD Viva La Vega has been put on hold again. Now the release date is May 29.Okay. So, honestly, what is happening?
- The problem is that the EMI factory in Germany that prints the Norwegian DVD didn't understand the thing with the cover, manager Eivind Brydøy explains.
- Uh, yes?
- The thing is that the inlay, like for the live CD, is a poster that must be folded to fit into the DVD cover. The Germans in the factory have been waiting for the cover they should put into the DVD while they already had hold of it without knowing that. Welcome to the music industry!
- Incredible. But now all the misunderstandings are clarified and things are rolling, so why do we have to wait until May 29?
- Well, actually we could get it out a little earlier than that, but EMI Norway would like to have something to connect the release with, to make some noise, and as Kaizers will play at P3 Sessions on Youngstorget in Oslo May 27, the Monday after is a good time for the release. Call it strategic considerations.
- What's your advice for the most impatient fans out there now?
- Those who don't want to wait longer can just go ahead and buy the international version. It is exactly equal except for the text in the inlay cover. But well, it'll be out in time.
Apart from that, we can only say that great reviews of the DVD come rolling in from other countries. That's nice.
