Dispatched in 5 to 7 working days

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).

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

Live At The Olympia ventures back to July 2007 when R.E.M. set up camp at the venerable
Olympia Theatre in Ireland's capital city and tested new material over five nights before
fired-up, capacity crowds comprised of fanclub members. Live At The Olympia features
39 tracks and liner notes by author and music journalist Andy Gill. The two-CD / 1 DVD set,
produced by Jacknife Lee, features 39 songs that capture the best moments from the band's
"working rehearsals" at Dublin's fabled Olympia club during which singer Michael Stipe, guitarist
Peter Buck, and bassist Mike Mills Stipe tested out new songs for R.E.M.'s 2008 studio album

Previews

Rolling Stone (p.76) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "[This] captures intimate, occasionally great performances....The selling point on LIVE AT THE OLYMPIA is R.E.M. spelunking through early catalog gems..."
Q (Magazine) (p.118) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "What comes across is not just the genuine sense of a band flying by the seat of its collective pants, but also one that's delighting in rediscovering almost forgotten parts of its own past..."
Paste (magazine) (p.62) - "[T]he band's earlier semi-punk instincts ring through and its taste remains impeccable."
Uncut (magazine) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "In 39 tracks over two CDS, the punk-fuelled folk-rock group that had ruled the '80s along with U2 magically reappears."
