You’ll always be special to us, special to us, to us.
Love

According to amazon.fr and fnac.com, a double vinyl titled “Remembering Dolores” will be released on 7 April 2022.
Not much information for now!
There is no artwork and no tracklist yet. It might be a French release only as Amazon marked the country of origin as France and some of their other stores, like amazon.it for instance, marked it as import.
Edit: Could it be the playlist pulled together by bandmates, family and friends (to celebrate Dolores’ 50th birthday last 6 September) pressed on 2 LP… Possibly!
Label: Universal Music

Yesterday, Hot Press informed fans that they had started shipping the “Why Can’t We?” book orders, showing on Instagram the platinum edition.
They shared on the occasion the first pictures of the Platinum Edition:
At the moment, only fans who have ordered the Deluxe Platinum Limited Edition exclusively have received the below email.
Those who have ordered both Special Gold Edition and Deluxe Platinum Limited Edition are still awaiting for their order to be shipped.
Thanks to Jennifer for the screen shot.
EDIT – 10 DECEMBER
Those who ordered the Gold Edition are now receiving shipping confirmation as well today.
It seems the last who will get the email will be fans who ordered both editions at once.
UPDATE – 14 DECEMBER
Fans who ordered both editions are now receiving their shipping emails as well.
Hot Press also shared new pictures on their Instagram account stating “deliveries are going out every day”, everyone should therefore soon be getting their order.

First image of the new Cranberries book “Why Can’t We?” shared today by user SineadB on Twitter. Possibly looks like the Gold (standard) version, not the Platinum (deluxe) one.
According to recordsonvinyl.nl and bol.com, the best of “Stars” will be re-released on double vinyl on 27 May 2022.
There is no information about the vinyl color yet; and dont pay attention to the image used on recordsonvinyl.com, the black vinyl around the album cover is what they do on all their images.
The only thing for now is that recordsonvinyl.nl states from Netherlands, and bol.com states from Czech Republic. So, who’s right?
Also, will they re-use the same transparent disc released for the Record Store Day edition with slightly different credits on back cover, or will it be a brand new black (or else) vinyl edition?
Hopefully more info soon…
Pre-order is already available now. Price: €37.95 (recordsonvinyl) and €42.99 (bol)
Thanks to Barbara for the info and links!
UPDATE – NOVEMBER 26
bol.com now states BLACK VINYL
UPDATE – APRIL 7, 2022
The Cranberries announced on their socials (Twitter, Instagram, Facebook) and by email today, the release of the black vinyl, still on 27 May 2022, and shared a 15-second video for the occasion.
The album was supposed to be released today but was pushed back to 12 November as mentioned on towerrecords.ie
Same for all streaming platforms.
Might be due to Adele’s new LP pressing that is currently triggering shortage – read this article from variety.com
Don’t forget tonight on The Late Late Show, ROE performing her version of “I Can’t Be With You” to coincide with the release of the album… well, not anymore!!
UPDATE – NOVEMBER 5 – 4:00 PM (UTC)
The album is now available on all streaming platforms, it was not the case earlier in the day. Ultimately the physical release does not impact the digital one anymore.
UPDATE – NOVEMBER 6
According to goldendiscs.ie the yellow (edit: black) vinyl will be released on 28 January 2022.
UPDATE – JANUARY 29, 2022
Vinyl pushed back once again!
Supposed to be released yesterday, its new release date is now 18 February 2022, according to many websites such as goldendiscs.ie, spindizzyrecords.com…
On spindizzyrecords.com the mention yellow vinyl is back, which would indeed make more sense.
About the cd, it was released a long time ago, and still available in stores:
To mark the release of the album “Salvation”, ROE will be performing her cover of “I Can’t Be With You” tomorrow on The Late Late Show on the Irish TV RTÉ One.
