Just watched " I am a Hotel" . It moves me more as I age. Fantastic work of art. Looking forward to the new album. Thank you.

Simon Jones Tonight I had the privilege of listening to the new Leonard Cohen record - way way in advance of it being released - and it is Incredible.

Hmm, still no tracklist!!? Maybe "old Ideas" is an instrumental record. The Leonard Sound of SIlence

'Old Ideas' is available on Amazon U.S. to pre-order. No cover photo or list of songs yet though.

Can anyone say if The Webbs are on the upcoming album or not?

***yes - they and the whole tour band will be doing "Darkness".

And don't completely write off the idea of Born In Chains being on it...

***we have already confirmed that only "Darkness" of the songs we heard during the tour will be on this album.

No cover photo or list of songs yet though.

We will show the track list as soon as an official press release is ready, it's not going to take very long

Thanks for the update, jarkko, thanks for keeping us well informed. It is appreciated.

I expect someone has already posted this but so much about it on the Forum but not sure if I have read Amazon UK pre-orders, so I thought I might as well chance it.

Finally!

I placed my order with Amazon UK but rather alarmingly They are giving me a "shipping estimate" of the 7th of Feb??

The official Leonard Cohen website has just been revamped. Could the imagery of the new pages be a hint of the cover artwork for Old Ideas?

How exciting. A revamped website with some interesting features: there is mention of a "UK Merch Store - coming soon", the "Works" tab has details of Leonard's music, books AND artwork - and our hopes are kept alive via a tour page with links for "Schedule" and "Ticket Pre-sales". Wishful thinking on the part of whoever designed the new website I wonder or .....

PS If a ticket pre-sale is announced openly on a website, doesn't that just make it a public on-sale?

A press release about Old Ideas is coming next week - we will be among the first to share the news with our members.
There will be nothing about any tour; the pre-order info will be for the album.
I am going to open a new thread for the announcement.

Looks like the original date was a systems error. I received an e-mail this morning correcting the estimated delivery date to Feb 2 - 3 (I may splash out on First Class Delivery for this one - don't think I can wait until Feb 3!)
