Angel CD Soundtrack Update. Robert Kral tells CityOfAngel.com that the "Angel album looks like a go: nearing final stages of completion" but that it will not be released in the United States. A decision which will disappoint many fans.

Ah, well... that's what www.amazon.ca is for. (That, and hard-cover non-"translated" editions of the HARRY POTTER series.)

Canada: It makes you proud to be a North American.

PS Thanks very much for posting the news, Simon.

This site has information about the differences between US and UK versions of the HP books. Scroll down a little and there are links for each book. (It's mostly just the changing of certain Britishisms to US terms. For example 'roundabout' to 'carousel.')

We knew it probably wouldn't be released in the states, but hearing it officially still sucks. I guess I'll have to import it or download it.

Invisible Green | August 06, 17:28 CET

Well at least U.S. fans can import the CD. It's good to be British

Nadia to win! (Shell to come in second)

I hope Australia gets a release

aapac | August 06, 17:49 CET

I don't get it, but it still shouldn't be that hard to get in the US. Online or Ebay, for example. I wonder what the release date will be???

trekkerj | August 06, 18:03 CET

How utterly odd. I'm frequently mystified at the kinds of decisions "The Suits" make. Still, I'll pony up and then hope that they'll go ahead and make a "songs" album.

Ocular | August 06, 18:34 CET

It reminds me how US version of Radio Sunnydale got less songs than the versions released in the rest of the world, which were similar to the british ones.

Hope they'll release it here in Brazil.

As Lorne might say, that doesn't make a lick of sense.

None of it.

Chris in Virginia | August 06, 18:48 CET

Would it have anything to do with licensing rights and the WB? And some one pointed out elsewhere would it end up on iTunes?

Simon | August 06, 19:01 CET

Dammnit, why are US 'Angel' fans treated like the freaking red-headed stepchild at a family reunion?

Haunt | August 06, 19:10 CET

Pardon the expression but "That Bites" !

AncientMagicks | August 06, 19:30 CET

AncientMagicks, not to mention sucks, too.

Chris in Virginia | August 06, 19:36 CET

Right Chris in Virginia! Took a clue from bookrats and already tucked away the www.amazon.ca website. I'm willing to let them "bleed me dry" - for the shipping - as long as I can get it!
Here's hoping they won't make us wait too long.......

AncientMagicks | August 06, 19:53 CET

If we have the Whedonesque-Con talked about elsewhere, any Canadian attendees can bring a stack of these....

redfern | August 06, 21:11 CET

Hey! I helped with this! Okay. That's overstating things. I got a call from Angel production before it shut down to give them contact info for Darling Violetta. "Allyson, do you know how to get in touch with the band who does our theme?"

I was tickled.

Allyson | August 07, 00:37 CET

Have the Whedonesque-Con in Toronto and everyone who comes can pick up their own copy.
(Personal agenda? What personal agenda?)
Allyson, you should get your own personal copy.

Lioness | August 07, 01:02 CET

I hope Canada gets a release.I bet they will, for sure.

TheSlayer246 | August 07, 01:20 CET

Whedonesquers in Toronto, that me and Lioness and ??? !!!
Lets do the Serenity party thing!

redfern | August 07, 04:49 CET

Also a Torontonian. :)

Christopher | August 07, 10:14 CET

Simon, I suspect you're correct with the licensing conflict. A real shame when these matters affects the actual target market. Go figure. Numfar PTB, I've both the US and UK versions of "Radio Sunnydale". The UK version is a much better value for the money.

Madhatter | August 07, 14:03 CET

I still think they need to include Angel singing Mandy, Fred singing Crazy, Cordy's inimitable version of The Greatest Love of All, and Cordy, Wes and Gunn doing We are the Champions!

Hey, a fella can dream, can't he...?

Chris inVirginia | August 07, 19:49 CET

Bookrats - are the US version of the Harry Potter books different? If so, I didn't know that - thought they were the same exact books. Fill me in on some of the differences if you could because I might want to buy some from the Canadian site myself.

Firefly Flanatic | August 07, 19:59 CET

Redfern, You're on! Christopher, want to come? Who else is from Toronto?
