Derek™ Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Legendary album, and I think that boxset would be really cool to have. But at that price, there's no way I could personally justify it. I'd love to hear those demos, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 It would be a shame if the DVD was only released with the box. It has been in progress for years and should be seen by the masses. I assumed the release was far off, so I am still excited to be able to watch it soon. Derek, PM me around the release date if you don't buy it and they don't release everything separately.

jhulud Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 104 page book with over 100 never-before-seen photos documenting Slint's entire history, as well as lyrics to the songs on Spiderland, and a forward by Will Oldham How am I the only who caught this and no one else has?!?! And it's in the video too!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sanjuro Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 "SIGNED BOX SETS ARE SOLD OUT. January 30, 5:00PM CST." Per T&G Kind of glad. I was on the fence and this has pushed me back to the reasonable side of financial planning. drds89 and wellnow 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I think car having working brakes is the better choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glass realms Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 I'm really hoping they do a standalone LP/DVD version later on down the line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nothingnatural Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 I will definitely get this on clearance at some point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drds89 Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 I will definitely get this on clearance at some point. Same, no problem here waiting a year or two to get it 50% off. If it had been /313, well, that's what credit cards are for. Sigur Ros can sell 3000 box sets for $150 a pop, can Slint? We'll see if they languish or not. $450,000+ gross is a pretty good chunk to siphon from the vinyl club, and a small subset at that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Timbo_Slice Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 I wish this wasn't so pricey, or that I could just buy the book somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 I keep forgetting about the shirt. Jeez it is ugly. I'm glad I just bought a different Tweez shirt recently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Timbo_Slice Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 The shirt is stupid…like, they "found" their 1989 screen (which they could have easily remade) and they only make it available through ordering a $150 box set. This whole thing reeks of classism. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jerseydave77 Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 Breaking News: Juan (hearts) New Member haha this thread did make me pull out my OG pressing and spin it this weekend. Don't need a box set but if I didn't have it I'd be more tempted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhulud Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 The documentary included in the box set is getting a limited theatrical release in select cities: http://www.the1stfive.com/news/slint-documentary-breadcrumb-trail-to-get-theatrical-screenings-in-select-cities Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still holding onto the $ and not regretting missing signed set, but do want the price to drop some day. Any significance to the number /3138 pressing? Ideas?

bannedinjapan Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 Any significance to the number /3138 pressing? Ideas? The only thing I can think of is that Pajo is a huge Misfits fan (and probably all of them are), and they have a song called "We Are 138." Beyond that, I have no idea. Beyond all logic, I actually sprung for one of these - signed copy. Looking forward to hearing the remastered version! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be willing to bet it's pressing plant overrun, which happens all the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
