Anyone: Found Good Stones '09 Calendar? - Caveat Emptor: Don't Buy Your Biggest Bang 09 Calendar from RS.com

The 35% off Boxing Day sale may seem to be a great deal, but here is how it works for the calendar, should any of u be of a mind to buy it:

$15.00 less 35%

revised total $9.75
plus shipping $6.96

total $16.71


I got one on Amazon today:

Rolling Stones 2009 Calendar: The Biggest Bang,

$4.95 Shipping & Handling: $3.99 Tax: Total: $8.94

Of course, it is not guaranteed to be delivered til between Jan 5 and 21st, but I can wait.

Last time I looked, there were still some for that price, don't know about UK.

Of course, if u are buying other stuff on rs.com, maybe it's not so bad, but I find their standard shipping rather high.


Anyone know of another good 2009 Stones calendar?

Here's a question for folks who buy r&r calenders...in the USA, for the past 20 years @ Xmas time...one could find dozens of R&R calenders for sale everywhere...book stores, record shops, gift shops etc....Stones,Zep,KISS, Britney..anyone popular....but this year...ZERO !!!...I couldn't believe it...after searching many of the stores, I finally started asking some questions...the answer I got is not 100% correct but the ONLY one that makes any sense at all...there was really only one major distributor of such calenders...and it appears that they went out of business...there is really no other explanation but if anyone knows otherwise, please let us know....peter

I was wondering what happened to all the Rock And Roll calendars. I've seen only The Beatles, Pink Floyd and AC/DC.

Thanks, timbernardis! Just ordered mine from Amazon.

same cost as me?

Virgin Megastore in SF today...$7.99 peter

I really want this calendar, but all the info (amazon and RS.com) I've seen on it shows the same pictures from 2008. Of course I don't want the same calendar with different dates. Does anyone have this yet?

i am sure that whilst it looks the same it it is different

how different? -- i bet they use a lot of the same types of fotos

No, 2008's calendar was an Exile on Main St calendar - I believe 2007's was A Bigger Bang, but this is all different photos - I love the shots on the '09 calendar.

I got it for Christmas- it has exactly the same photos as last years Bigger Bang calendar!!

NO! what a rip off!! exactly the same fotos for each month?

I will return it and get another.

CAN ANYONE RECOMMEND ANOTHER STONES 09 CALENDAR??


P

Well, has anyone found a good alternative to the Biggest Bang 09 calendar if what nanker sez is true that it is exactly the same as the Biggest 08 calendar?

or even if it isn't true, what has anyone found for a good Stones 09 calendar?


p

Unbelievable, so it's true they used the same pictures from the 2008 calendar? Why do they make it so difficult to get photos of the Stones? I know they do professional photoshoots, where do those pictures go?

Yep it is true- even to the small pictures at the bottom of each month! i.e. if Keith is the main picture for the month, there is always 1 small picture of the other 3 at the bottom- these are the same as well!

There must be 1000's of Bigger Bang pictures available to use!

Unbelievable.

Actually, on second thoughts, not really.

Is it actually a 2009 calendear? ...or are they selling last years model?

who wants yesterdays paper - nobody in the wo-ho-ho-ho-rld

Yeah it is a 2009 calendar! Obviously a lot of thought went into it!

is it the exact same fotos for each month i.e. March is Mick in the large foto above on his harp (for example, whatever) and the same 3 fotos down below -- both in March 08 and March 09?


p

The bright side is that if you didn't buy the 2008 version then the 2009 calendar will be a nice and not before seen treat.
The money saved on this re-issue might go to lower ticket prices on the next tour....

Yep to the detail- I usually keep my old calendars but have just thrown the 2008 one away as it essentially the same calendar apart from the 2009 calendar dates being the only difference.

Ha Ha Ha Ha Lol -best laugh I've had for ages!!

SO yet again -- are there other Stones 09 calendars out there and can anyone post the link to it or them???


p

Holy Jeezles. I ordered mine a couple of days ago. So now it appears that I will get the same calendar as last year. Except for the dates then DOH.

The great Rock And Roll swindle. Top that Johnny Rotten!!!!!

I didn't have last year's calendar, but I got this year's for Christmas.
I love the January shot of Mick!

I ordered my ABB Calendar from Barnes&Noble.com for $7.49, a good deal but GEE, I can't believe they did not change the photos! How tacky! With all the pictures taken during that tour!! They say it's a 2 day delivery, we'll see!!
