MARC,
Just go to www.raspberriesonline.com and hit the "Click For Details" button on the homepage's announcement of the Special Edition set. There's TOO MANY extras to list here, but believe me you are getting so much more content on the Special edition set than on the Ryko commercial release that I'm sure you won't be disappointed. Just the fact that you're getting all 21 songs on both CD and DVD makes this Special Edition set...well...special!
Also, Amazon has been notified about their faux pas, and it should be corrected soon.

Hey everyone:
Julesberry's, Raspathens and Chew Foil's recent posts about their local radio stations playing Berries songs is the beginning of a great opportunity for you guys to help get the new CD played on stations all over the world.
Use this thread to post some basic info when you hear a Berries song -
The station call letters
The city
The address / phone / contact info if you have it
The Berries song (s) they play
I'll compile this list and get the radio promotion team at Ryko to make sure they focus their marketing efforts on these stations - they'll get the press release and the new CD to feature.
Let's see how many stations around the world we can get on this list!
Thanks,
Al

This is GREAT info! I'm gonna start a thread asking you to let me know of your local stations that play the berries - we'll work with Ryko to make sure they get serviced with the new CD, the press release, etc.

To clarify...the username and password will be the same each time we add a download, so just keep the instructions you received from any of the e-mails and use them to access the downloads.
And...all of the downloads will be available on the page you're taken to after you log in, so if for some reason you didn't get the 1st download, the 2nd one, the 3rd or 4th or...(oops - I think I just let out a secret) you'll be able to download any of them when you want.
I know this may also be asking a lot, but please - out of respect for the band - do not share the access info with anyone who did not buy the set. Let's keep this special feature only for those who bought the set and not let it get out to the masses.
Thanks!

That would be Derek, more affectionately known as "GOOSE". Goose started out as Jim's drum tech, and when needed he played some percussion at some of the shows. A very talented musician in his own right, Goose attends The Berklee College Of Music.

ColoradoGal: I tried to find the article online but can't. Can you give me more info, such as who wrote the article, and if the writer has an e-mail address listed anywhere in the paper? Or maybe the piece lists some way to contact the "Spotlight Staff"?
Any info would be appreciated - The Rocky Mountain News was a big supporter of the Berries when they played Denver in '05. I'll make sure you have more Berries' news to read about soon in The Rocky Mountain News!
Thanks,
Al

I'm still at a loss for words when I think of how Eric got an iPhone for himself...and one for me!!
Thanks, buddy, you're the best!

What I love about this clip is the interaction between John and Paul. There are several spots where John gives Paul a "look", Paul gives one to John, they both flash a big smile at each other, and you know something's goin' on. A particular scream, a particular girl, or maybe the way one of them sang a particular word or played a particular chord...who knows? It's John and Paul's world, and we get a glimpse into just how special their relationship was at this point in their careers. I've seen this clip many times before, and I still get chills watching it. Priceless.

Bill,
I sent you an e-mail with your info.

Bill,
e-mail me your info at pr@raspberriesonline.com.
I don't know why you didn't get a return e-mail with your download...my secretary who's handling these e-mails is obviously in need of some more training!
I'll try to get you hooked up today.

To Cozmik, and anyone else who may be concerned about the quality of this and future downloads:
The intent of these downloads is that they be viewed on your PC or Mac. The quality is acceptable when viewing on Quicktime, but - by design - when you try to watch it thru any other format such as by burning a DVD, watching it on a TV, enlarging the quicktime screen, etc. you will not have great quality video.
While we are trying to give you a special feature with these downloads, we also know that there is a risk of someone abusing this feature, so by formatting these downloads for Quicktime viewing we hope to discourage any illegal sharing / reproduction / bootlegging / duplication / appearances on You Tube, etc.
These downloads are some of the "extra" features included with the purchaes of the "Special Edition" and, again, are of a lower resolution by design.
The video features on the Special Edition DVD are overall great quality - I don't think you'll be disappointed at all in the quality of the DVD, but maybe Eric, Billy, Ernie, Bernie and Kathy can give you their opinion on that better than I.
Thanks,
Al

If you didn't receive these e-mails, please let us know by sending an e-mail to:

Please include your name, address and date of your PayPal order so we can update your e-mail address in our database and send you these e-mails. Your e-mail address as stated on your PayPal order form may be outdated, and that's why you didn't get these e-mails.
Roll call: who received their e-mails, and what did you think of the special extra feature we included?
Thanks,

I can confirm that the e-mail is indeed legit. And the next one you receive is going to make you berry berry happy!!

I let Ryko know about the errors yesterday.
Here's an excerpt from a communication I had with Ryko yesterday about the Billboard.com story, and my hope for future articles:
"Since many of today's younger journalists may not know who Raspberries are, or at best have a basic knowledge of the band but are not as well educated as they should be...should we structure any press releases in a "for dummies" format, with selected points highlighted or in bullet points to steer the more ignorant members of the media as to the important parts of the release they should be including in any piece they do, such as:
- Recorded by Grammy award winning engineer and producer Mark Linett, known for his groundbreaking work on Brian Wilson's "Smile".
-Produced by Mark Linett and Eric Carmen.
- The performance marks the triumphant return after 30 years of the band’s original line-up of Eric Carmen, Wally Bryson, Dave Smalley and Jim Bonfanti.
- Raspberries are considered by many to be the prime architects of the power-pop genre, and are well known for their legendary live performances.
- This is the first live album ever and first new release in 33 years from the influential power-pop group
- The deluxe set features all of the band’s classic radio hits including the million selling “Go All The Way,†“I Wanna Be With You,†and “Let’s Pretend,†plus Rolling Stone Magazine’s 1974 Record of the Year, “Overnight Sensation (Hit Record),†alongside critically acclaimed fan favorites and covers including a scorching version of The Who’s “I Can’t Explain.â€
- Both packages contain rare photos, special liner notes and hard to find lyrics to all of the songs.
Just a thought. I'd hate to get some good press like the Billboard .com piece, and then have the writer not include the main selling points of the release in the piece. Thanks...Al"
