The price difference is so annoying .. I'll probably wait until I visit my son in the US at Christmas and pick it up from there. I did spot it slightly cheaper (£84.50) on this site with free delivery but still £20 more expensive than the US. www.spincds.com/

PiccRecs have it now, preorder from here if you fancy paying even more for the bloody thing (GB£109.99) EDIT: as a fairly fair comparison, Mogwai's recent (and brilliant) 6LP boxset was/is £50 delivered. EDIT AGAIN: Rough Trade's pre-order price has now risen to £109.95, Norman Records is a round £110.00

Not exactly a surprise (everything's delayed now, as those Phil Collins RSD novelty items won't press themselves), and to be honest I'm a bit glad of this because a) it pushes it back another payday as it's a bit pricey over here; and b) I'm supposed to be writing a thing on all 5 albums and keep scrapping what I've done - so any more time for me is fine & dandy

I did spot it slightly cheaper (£84.50) on this site with free delivery but still £20 more expensive than the US. www.spincds.com/Don't order anything from SpinCDs - they've totally failed to get hold of something for me in the past, and kept stringing me along until the limited edition item was unavailable anywhere else. Numerous lies, poor customer service, messages ignored, broken promises. I know of several people on another forum who have had the same sort of issues with them. They will outright lie to you... So, if it looks too good to be true, it definitely will be. My advice = don't go near them.

Piccadilly's now £99.99 delivered, looks like in order to even try to compete with Amazon, stores are going to be having to do this at less than cost

I should know better by now to go with something other than Amazon for a preorder unless there's some awesome bonus involved.

Good news/bad news for me. Got accepted into a fairly 'big deal' horse competition, limited to 12 and my horse and I were selected! Bad news: such things cost money to do, money to travel with a horse, and money to stay there for 4 days. I will have to hope this goes on sale sometime AFTER the holidays!

Were the albums remastered for this release? Didn't read anywhere that they were but was curious...

They would have been to some extent I guess but as it doesn't mention it anywhere that I can see on it, and going off the Winding Sheet/Whiskey track listings, I'm guessing it's from digital sources (which is fine & dandy for most ears anyway if done well - certainly mine, which are absolutely shagged).

Post by cameron4321 on Nov 30, 2015 0:48:58 GMT -5
Anybody else notice that the pressing of the Winding Sheet for the boxset contains the song "I love you little girl", which wasn't on the original vinyl pressing? I believe the only vinyl version of this song was the B side for the 7 inch of Down in The Dark....so.......there is that!

Yeah, it's the same listing/order as the CD, same as Whiskey.

This box set is great. It's very nicely done, with extra pictures and full lyrics, there are the extra songs (formerly only on CD), the sound quality is great.
It's got me back to listening to "Whiskey" a lot. What an amazing album, musically, lyrically, in every respect.
But then, they're all so good!

I finally got around to ordering my copy today (btw, if there's any Australians who haven't got it yet, JB Hi-Fi has on online for A$175). I'm really excited to hear that the sound quality is excellent!
EDIT: It must have been a one day offer, as the price has climbed back up to A$220. Oh well. At least I got a decent discount on it!

Thanks, great news on the sound quality, can't wait to spin that vinyl. Looks like the release has been pushed back again, this time to 12/11. Can't really complain, 85 bucks with free shipping seems like a bargain.

I just picked this up the other day at my local record shop. The packaging is beautiful and the sound is top shelf. Also it's been so long I forgot how great of an album I'll Take Care of You is, it's been on a loop all day.
