This is the first picture that I have seen, posted by a fan in the US. The centre piece is the envelope that houses the signed Wembley Stadium 1992 photograph, hence it is the deluxe version. I would love to see what Number she has (for the band signed page out of the first 350 copies) though she has not posted that yet. I've seen a picture that someone posted of the signed certificate. They weren't happy that at the top of the page it says something like 'this book is limited to 1500 copies'. Then the number was written below that as being in the low 300's. So basically there was no differentiation in the signed certificate for those 350 copies that were more expensive. That is interesting. Although after 15 months of waiting, there can easily be a lack of memory. All 1,500 'Deluxe' (350 copies) and 'Collectors' (1,150) are all signed. The Deluxe comes with the band photograph onstage at the Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert. This differentiates what the 'Deluxe' is. These are indeed hand numbered of 350. Mine is #70. The front cover is also unique.

Then the number was written below that as being in the low 300's. So basically there was no differentiation in the signed certificate for those 350 copies that were more expensive. I'm already anticipating being annoyed by the certificate. I ordered within ten minutes of the books being available to purchase. That should warrant a book number of less than 50, but that will only happen if they actually fill the purchases in the order they were received and the numbered certificate is assigned based on that order timestamp. I'd bet they didn't do that and all the books were just boxed up and a random box selected for each order. That is interesting. Although after 15 months of waiting, there can easily be a lack of memory. All 1,500 'Deluxe' (350 copies) and 'Collectors' (1,150) are all signed.

The front cover is also unique. I ordered mine immediately like you Cindy and you can see I have #70. I'd presume that 'Band, Family and Friends' make up the first batch of 50.

Very nice, Churchy. I'm starting to have non-buyer remorse. One small nitpick would be that the Pyromania pass isn't a true replica from that era but not a big deal. Perhaps they did that because the real Rock Til We Drop Tour laminate wasn't really much to look at. Somehow your sixth and seventh photos appear stretched out when clicking on the thumbnails.

You are not the first to tell me that today Rob. Yes the original era pass was very basic indeed. That's odd, I shall see if I can repost those two pictures.

Clearly its the 350 deluxe versions going out first then. They look great. Hopefully the remaining 1150 won't be far behind. Even the packaging is worth keeping.

I suppose for the other 1150 editions that the number to get is 625.

I suppose for the other 1150 editions that the number to get is 625. Now that would be very special indeed! I wonder though, which band member wanted to be James Bond with 007! LOL When my #070 arrived, it dawned on me that minus the 0's, I have a single digit number in that sense. The others would be (amongst the 1500): 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9, 1 (0), 2 (0), 3 (0), 4 (0), 5 (0), 6 (0), 7 (0), 8 (0), 9 (0), 1 (00), 2 (00), 3 (00), 4 (00), 5 (00), 6 (00), 7 (00), 8 (00), 9 (00), 1 (000), So just 28 editions would be a single number, minus the O's. Interesting to me anyway! LOL That is if my math is correct as well, of course! LOL

Me either. I had ordered the collector version. Hopefully soon though. It seems like people are getting the deluxe versions so they probably started with those. I did get an email back from Genesis recently saying they were shipping stuff in batches starting in January and that notifications would be received when it ships. So fingers crossed that more are shipping in the near future. This does look like a very nice package and a very nice collectible so hopefully it's worth the grueling wait! Still haven’t received a notice for shipping. Hope one of these days the book will finally arrive.

Number 090 is available on a popular website...................for $2500. 🙄
EDIT Jan. 21: Reduced to $2400. Very long way to go if he wants to sell. Different seller has listed number 024 for a copycat price of $2250.

I asked Genesis to tell me the lowest number copy that was sold to the public, knowing that the first 1-?? were held back for the band and their management. I received this reply.

Anyone else had their copy yet? I emailed them and they told me they couldn't give me a specific date, other than it would be shipped in Feb sometime.

Nothing here. Which version did you order? Collector or deluxe? Collector for me. Very frustrating. I would've thought that since deluxe versions are shipping out to people that collector versions wouldn't be far behind being that the collector versions have less stuff in them. Not much else to do but continue to wait I guess. The funny thing is that I actually got the plain book as a gift last June as returned that because I figured the one I preordered wouldn't be far behind. I never even opened it at the time because I didn't want to spoil it lol. Guess I should've just read it! Anyone else had their copy yet? I emailed them and they told me they couldn't give me a specific date, other than it would be shipped in Feb sometime.

'Collectors' have also started shipping, as fans are posting. Not had my collectors copy yet. 'Publishers' shipping in February. I am awaiting that also.

By the looks of the pictures I've seen the collectors version looks more of an 'involved' process to put together?

It had been so long since I had placed my order that I completed forgot what was even included in what I bought. I was a bit taken back by how heavy the book is with the riveted metal cover. The wait was a bit much but overall I'm glad I didn't cancel. Haven't had a chance to play the 7" single yet.

The deluxe cover is all black surround, with gold lettering. The sofa picture from the standard version appears as the centre piece though it is metallic. The collectors cover is different as it is the 1992 Wembley photo as the cover.

I liked the extra of the 'Def Leppard' stamped box and velvet bag!
