Royce Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 Seriously, don't split a box set. So lame. Lame? I mean I'd probably be saving more this way then buying them individually. Also maybe someone likes the britpop version of Lush I don't care for but dislikes the Shoegaze sounding early albums. It would be a win for both of us if that were the case. I plan on playing them, not staring at the box, so I don't see a problem with that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billynomates Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 Tried emailing 4AD as my pizza box was damaged, no reply yet - email sent Thursday. It's a nice set, but the packaging for Gala is nowhere near as nice as the original LP, which was awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billynomates Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 Yes, but still be nice to have one intact, as its part of 4ADs packaging. It has the Lush logo emblazoned on it etc, so would be nice to have one in good condition.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fish Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 Pretty sure the point of the pizza box was to protect the actual set According to Beggars, the outer box was "just extra packaging for shipping UK copies." I know that some of the Canada ones got them as well. But they weren't intended as a part of the actual record. But it would have complimented the RHP box nicely on my shelve.

niblips Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 I rec'd my box from Sorry State yesterday. Shipped from NC to Ontario Canada. 3 of the 5 jackets have top seam splits (2-3 inches) and I think all of the inners have side seam splits. Still happy to have it. Probably wont bother seeking replacement jackets. Also, no pizza box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhulud Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 After doing some research and inquiring, I found out that the "pizza box" packaging was mostly for UK & Europe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YouTwo Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 Did it take anyone else a really long time to download the digital copies? I'm showing over an hour to download Spooky when digital copies usually take me like 2 minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JRHews Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 i feel blessed, none of mine had seam splits How can you tell when all you did was put it straight to discogs with the description "sealed" on both?

Finally spun everything, super happy with this boxset. Everything sounds so clear. I don't hate Lovelife as much as I did but it's still the weakest of the set, I probably won't spin it again to be honest, such a "sellout" album. Topolino has some better jams from that era of Lush though. Split is perfection, everything has aged so well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jhulud Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 Not the box...and since no proper Lush thread...may as well post here. Anyone else score any of the "discovered" copies of the For Love 10" & 12" singles that 4AD had in their store a couple of weeks ago? The jackets were a bit "loved" but the records themselves were completely perfect and clean. Royce and rpm4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glass realms Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 Got the For Love 12" from 4AD. Already owned the 10". Now I just need the Mad Love e.p. 12", Black Spring e.p. 12" and an OG press of Gala and I'll have a complete vinyl collection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Youinreverse Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 I got my copy of the For Love 10" last week. It was floating around in one of the flimsiest mailers I'd ever seen and the package looked like it had been folded in half, but miraculously, the record was fine aside from a little bend and seam split.
