Brooks "LEGACY" pre-sale goes awry
He said he would reschedule the sale for this Thursday. "How do I say how grateful I am for the demand, while apologizing for the frustration people were going through. We're gonna try this again on Thursday," said Brooks.
"Everybody's been taking about vinyl," Brooks said in a live online chat on Facebook on Monday. The LEGACY package will come in three different configurations - analog (the original recording), remix/remaster and a limited package with both. The release contains bonus tracks.
Each boxed set contains seven vinyl discs along with accompanying CDs of "No Fences," "The Chase," "In Pieces," "Fresh Horses" and the recently released "Triple Live" album.
The cover features an astronaut on the moon with fans at a Brooks concert superimposed on the shield. The box sets will not b eshipped until Nov. 1.
"Due to a massive overload before the on-sale even began, Garth Brooks Talk Shop Live special for LEGACY never launched," he said on his website.
"The good news is absolutely NO numbers were given out."
The vinyl sets will start going on sale at 7 p.m. eastern time on Thursday. Fans pre-ordering all three of the LEGACY packages are being given the option to reserve their number, which will be printed on their edition.
Those watching will get to see behind the scenes at his first rehearsal for the stadium tour.

CD reviews for Garth Brooks
If naming your release "Gunslinger," you'd better let it rip and go for a harder country sound, especially if donning a black cowboy hat on the cover. The reality does not exactly match that sentiment for Garth Brooks, but at times he comes mighty close.
The high points for Brooks are the three most traditional country songs - a couple of honky tonkers ("Honky-Tonk Somewhere" and "Cowboys and Friends") and a ballad ("Whiskey to Wine"). ...
After releasing his debut album in 1989, Garth Brooks released music almost every year until he announced his retirement in 2000. Since then, he has released repackaged hit collections, new music on "Scarecrow" and "The Lost Sessions" and last year's cover song collection "Blame it All on My Roots." Over the years, there have been live recordings, concert and music video collections. The country songwriter became a pop culture icon, transcending genre to become ...
Garth Brooks is back with his first release of "new" material since 2001's "Scarecrow." (Truth in advertising, his "The Ultimate Hits," which actually is part of the new box set, included four new songs back in 2007). And it's quite an undertaking - four CDs of covers - Country Classics, Classic Rock, Blue-Eyed Soul and Melting Pot, an amalgam of country, rock, soul and folk; the two-CD set, "The Ultimate Set" and a DVD of his live performance in Vegas. ...
