I've got one category on this site for bought direct online and another for bought direct at a gig. Numbers actually qualifies for both. I paid for it online some weeks before the CDs had been manufactured. As reward for this, I got a download version of the full album plus, as exclusive bonus tracks, the rough edits of the tracks. Then I went along to the album launch (one of my first gigs after the Boy was born) and picked up my CD.
