Supplier out of stock

Of course you want to know — When do I get it?

We strive at all times to get it to you sooner but here are some indications:

If we say In Stock, we dispatch same day (if ordered before 14:00 on a working day) and depending on where you stay it will be with you the next working day (Main Centres) or the next working day after that (Regional Areas). If you are in a remote area it may take an additional working day (a day longer than Regional).

If we say In Stock (You can also collect in cpt), the stock is available from our Cape Town warehouse and you can collect on the same working day if your payment has been authorised and you collect before 5pm.

If we say dispatched between X and Y days then it takes X to Y days to receive from a supplier and it will then be with you within a working day after dispatched (Main Centres) or the working day after that (Regional Areas). If you are in a remote area it may take an additional working day (a day longer than Regional Areas).

If we say Pre-order it means that your item will be dispatched to you on the day it's released.

We always try our very best to get it to you as soon as possible but cannot guarantee same day delivery.

Imports are a best effort service, we strive to get it to you as soon as possible within the guidelines above but it's not always within our complete control so if something goes wrong we will let you know.

And then there's a Friday, sigh... Try order early on a Friday, we can then try our best to get it to you on the same day (Main centres), otherwise we will have to get it to you during the next week.

If this is all too confusing, call us on 0861 222 989 or send an e-mail to info@takealot.com. One of our friendly employees will get back to you pronto.

Description

A must for South African music fans, the release will be available in SA retail from 11 October 2010 and features the original Wonderful Wild Album with an 11 track B Sides & Remix CD and a 45 Minute DVD showcasing album music videos, exclusive acoustic performances and an album documentary not previously available to SA fans.

As an artist, Arno is a prolific songwriter. He has a constant need to push his boundaries creatively and has never been shy to try new sounds and stretch his songwriting and vocal capabilities. During the recording process of Wonderful Wild, Arno wrote and recorded over 60 new songs. The material ranged from high-energy rock anthems to melancholy ballads and showcased his ability as a multi-dimensional songwriter. The body of work that was selected as the album Wonderful Wild meant that many of these incredible tracks (due to their diverse and experimental nature) remained unreleased, until now.

Arno Carstens notes; “This deluxe version of Wonderful Wild is the musical and visual sum of the commercial album released earlier this year, with B-sides, videos and out takes that took place while recording the album. It will bring you closer to understanding the making of Wonderful Wild and the creative journey that I took in getting there.”

The EPK features footage and interviews from the Isle of Wight Festival, Hard Rock Calling, Glastonbury as well as his time in New York and the recording process in Spain. Well-known documentary maker, Gavin Elder, who shot the first Springbok Nude Girls video in the early nineties and subsequently went on to work with Duran Duran, ACDC, Dave Gilmore and Mark Ronson, filmed and edited the footage.

The Unplugged material featured on the Deluxe edition was shot in New York while Arno was there to perform at a Yoko Ono fundraiser and album release on which Arno is featured alongside, amongst others, John Lennon. Also included are acoustic performance videos of Nine Inch Nails’ ‘Hurt’, Bob Marley’s ‘Chances Are’ and Lady Gaga’s ‘Bad Romance’ which were all filmed in London earlier this year with international guitarist Matt Chandler.

Wonderful Wild’s first radio single ‘Dreamer’ achieved high rotation airplay peaking within the Top 20 Airplay Chart on the SA Hot 100, remaining there for an incredible 6 months. The 2nd single ‘Emergency’ saw instant playlist adds on regional South African radio. Both tracks were play-listed internationally. Arno’s current single ‘Heartbreak Monday’ (co-written by Paolo Nutini) achieved playlist adds on most of the UK radio stations including BBC’s Radio 2 and Absolute FM. The track will be the third radio single released to South Africa radio in September 2010.

Wonderful Wild was written, recorded and mixed in London & Spain with co-song writing contributions from Giles Martin, James Walsh, Jim Duguid and Youth. The album was produced by legendary British producer Youth (The Verve’s Urban Hymns) and Jim Duguid (Paulo Nutini’s These Streets). Final mix on the album is by Tim Bran (The Verve’s recent UK#1 album).
