Got an email today that my signed CD order was cancelled as they were unable to fulfil it....a year later.

I got that too, but for a poster. If you read the email, they say to reply to it, and let them know you would like a 'free gift.' Who knows what that will be... But nice they're a least doing something since it's been like a year or so.

I already have 2-3 copies of Unplugged but they got me with the bonus tracks and the color is pretty cool too. 

I’m with you on this. The ORG pressing sounds fantastic. The bonus stuff got me though.

LOL I love this message board. I had some bad experiences with a few box sets. I remember the SP MCIS box a few years ago was kind of a mess.  Hope this turns out good!

ahh ok, i didn't see the 40% off promotion. bad feeling how?

I'm probably over thinking this as I do almost everything in life... But my thoughts are that they are producing so many of these things 300,000+ Box Sets using several different pressing plants, I'm wondering about quality control.  Also my thought is 7x 180 Gram LPs, plus 7 CDs shoved into that box. I'm fearing warping might be bad... I just feel that Amazon would allow me to swap our box sets , and allow me to construct a good set of LPs.

where? the three box legacy set is showing up as a $194.99 preorder for me.

After you add it to your cart and checkout, it gives you 40% off making it like 117+tax.

I have a bad feeling about this entire box set, I think I'm going to keep my amazon order and cancel the one through Garth's store. At least with Amazon i know they will swap out bad Box Sets without any hassle.

Were you ordering a shirt with the album? If so, that's not really out of line. They can't ship it media with the shirt. Sucked though.

No, just the Blue LP.

It’s just odd that it’s popping back up without an explanation. Wonder if the fbi dropped the investigation. 

That's what I'm thinking too, and it's on Capital Records. Looks like he's back on the Artists page on Capital Records Website too.

I would say they have to know something, or at least think they know. They are probably also sitting on a pile of 20,000 LPs.

You must have seen my reddit post. You’re a quick one. 

LOL Negative, I saw it on the Facebook Ryan Adams group. Good call on the reddit group, for some reason i never thought to look for a DRA subreddit. Looks like another store had a Red variation posted but it either sold out, or was taken down.

Looks like Amazon & Best Buy have posted pre orders for Big Colors. Release date appears to be April 19th. Amazon has an Orange exclusive.

This is what I am thinking. It's either going to be garbage or they're hoping to create some buzz then jack up the price later?

I just watched a video of him talking about this thing. He said both Analog and Digital box sets will have an MSRP of $49.99 each; and the Limited Edition has Analog Vinyl and Digital Mastering for CDs which will be $74.99 MSRP.  All 3 sets will be available at retail.

Update:

Analog Box: 7LP & 7CD - All in original unaltered analog mastering.

Digital Remixed Remastered: 7LP & 7CD - All the remixed remastered version.

Limited Edition: 7LP original analog pressing, 7CD remixed remastered version, and this includes 'bonus tracks.' He didn't specify if the vinyl would have those bonus tracks or not...

Ended up caving and buying this. 21 slabs of Garth for $130 is pretty outrageous, and I figured I could sell 1 or 2 of the boxes to help soften the blow. 

Yeah, I’m not sure how they’re making money... unless these things are the cheapest PoS we’ve ever seen... LOL. I really only want the Analog set...

It’s live. Came out to $134.14. I believe shipping is free... Not 100% on that though. They said the hope to have this live all night tonight.

Pretty insane for 3 Box sets with 7LPs and CDs... I honestly don’t even understand what I’m getting. So 1 Analog pressing, 1 Digital Source Remastered pressing, and another Digital Remaster box, but with B-Sides CDs as a bonus?

Looks like this will be going back up again tonight around 10est/7pst. It will be $130ppd this time. Good luck, y'all!

Why is this thing being sold this way? Seems so annoying... I’m sure he’ll sell all 100,000+ Box sets... but this isn’t exactly limited.

Do we know if the B-Side is the same for all releases? I noticed that's different from website to website. I really don't want to pre-order this thing multiple times. :-)

Not sure if this has been posted or I missed it but the red will be numbered to 2500.

Thank you so much! I was out of town today and couldn't make it to any local stores. Really glad to get the Ben Folds, Raconteurs and The Wonder Years Soundtrack.

Now I hope to find the South Park Christmas LP...

This single is incredible! I bought it on iTunes the minute after I listened to it. If anyone is on Pax-AM/Ryan Adam's website picking up something, throw this one in the cart it's worth the 6 bucks. Can't wait for a full length LP from her.

Man, I hope the vault streams this thing tonight!

I still cant believe people care about this band and that they still headline fests

 

Last 2 albums were horrible, 2 before that were ok

 

15 years after the debut they havent really done much of substance

Yeah, well, you know, that's just, like, your opinion, man.

I think if it's worth 35 dollars or not depends on if the LP is of one of your favorite bands. If you're a hardcore STP fan, then yeah this is probably worth the money to have another record to play on the turntable; but if you are okay with digital files I'm sure you can find just as solid of shows on the net.

Technically from what I understand these aren't bootlegs. This company obtains the rights to various recordings outside of the United States through various radio stations. To me they sound like really good radio broadcasts, probably soundboards... I have the Smashing Pumpkins one (and a few others), they sounds okay, but aren't great. The packaging is good, and the pressing looks solid; at least the ones that I have.
