maximuss Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 It is not so much special i think. The white vinyl version looks much more nice and sounds great. This would only be interesting if it is 45rpm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't fit in my shelving units vertically so I have to angle the thing. Hoping the height of this new one is the exact same, if not a tad shorter. flip it .. it fits but you dont get the title on the spine... you dont need to the title on the spine to know what album it is. *whoopsie daisies.. timsimmons beat me to it.

timsimmons Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 (edited) Yeah, its a pretty obvious box on the shelf even w/o the spine. When I realized you could turn it to have it fit, it was a game changer. Edited September 28, 2016 by timsimmons Cloudsbelow 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stress On The Sky Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 Very very excited for this especially since I missed out on the In Rainbows box because I didn't have a working record player at the time of release. I got the special edition King Of Limbs but I felt pretty disappointed by that set. This is the first time I've cared enough to get excited for a shitty un-boxing video.

jeromium Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 The special edition looks great and I love the stylized unboxing video. It was too much coin for me to drop on it, but I'm jealous of all the artwork. Makes me think back to the OK Computer and Kid A artwork that came with the CD versions and wishing that was just part of the standard edition.

timsimmons Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 I Do wish they could go back and do special edition deluxe sets of the pre IR albums. Even if they can awkwardly on the shelves, their art is always gorgeous and I'd love to have special edition versions of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cloudsbelow Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 My appreciation of the special edition IR and KOL really comes down to them being a better presentation of the music. They sound better, plain and simple. Admittedly, I am not one who appreciates album artwork, lyric sheets, inserts, gatefolds, etc etc.. I just want the best sound possible. If they could press KidA better than the new 12" release, Id buy it.. same with the early parlophone amnesiac.. I will be a bit chuffed if the AMSP special edition is just a repackaged version of the standard pressing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wiscodeman Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 Yeah I agree with the above sentiments. I really just purchased the special edition in hopes that it's pressed to the level that the special edition IR was. For me, the cool artwork and packaging is just there to complement the music.

ejc625 Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 Haven't received anything yet. Although USPS shows a Media mail package coming my way from somewhere in PA that I can't think of what it would be. But I thought these would be coming from the UK?

Based on the info from WASTE it looks like these were deployed to various locations worldwide for more local packing and shipping. ejc625 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe that's it then. Because it just moved yesterday after being processed and waiting for USPS to pick it up for about a week now. Actually, that's what it is. It says it's coming from Asendia. Which a simple google search yielded Asendia being an international shipping company. Will be here on Monday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AMSP is the only incoming record I have that this could be... unless I completely whiffed on logging a preorder. My package is coming from Folcroft, PA via Ascendia. Please be it!

ryantark Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 Official W.A.S.T.E.hq shipcon via USPS. No tracking yet, so I can't tell you where it is coming from. I'm going with 33rpm based on the size of the dead wax in the creepy vid. lethalenforcer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
