duckula Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 Manic Street Preachers are thrilled to announce the release of a very special 20th Anniversary box set edition of 'The Holy Bible' on 8th December. 'The Holy Bible 20' box will contain a heavyweight vinyl, four CDs and a 40 page book. As well as the album on vinyl for the first time since a limited run in 1994, the 12 x 12" box features the original album, a remastered version of the US edition, a live disc recorded at Richey's last Manics gigs at the Astoria in December 1994, and a collection of B-Sides, rarities and BBC recordings. Order your copy from the Manics store here: http://smarturl.it/ManicsStore A limited number will receive a signed book. This was only released on a crappy picture disc originally so having a proper pressing of it is more than worth the price for me. I imagine a cheaper version with just the vinyl will come eventually but I'm jumping on this now for a signed copy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasteland76 Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 Nice !! Shipping isn't sexy to Canada - but hey it's a pretty damn awesome set Gotta jump on this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billynomates Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 Don't need all the extras. £50 for an LP essentially. Have an original press (pic disc). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glass realms Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 Ordered as soon as I woke up. I'm bummed that I missed getting a signed copy. I guess those sold out within three hours of them putting up pre-orders at like 3am west coast time, which sucks because I actually got up to take a piss at around 3am. hahahah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going to take a wild guess that this will sound better than the picture disc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glass realms Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 I wish they included the U.S. mix on vinyl. It's far better than the UK version. I'm looking forward to the live disc. I've only heard shitty bootlegs of Richey's last shows. Definitely excited for this though. It will be my 13th copy of the album but it's my favorite album of all time.

niblips Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 Man, this is just too much for my blood. Would love to have it on vinyl, but can't justify the cost and the shipping to Canada. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timsimmons Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 I'll wait for the single LP version. I have the 10th anniversary set they put out with the U.S. Mix. I just want the vinyl. niblips 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niblips Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 How much is shipping to Canada (if you checked)? Estimate was $35.... couldn't be bothered to go through and see exactly what it was..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paynegretzky Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 It is painful to see the shipping cost what the record itself probably would cost alone... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duckula Posted November 6, 2014 Author Share Posted November 6, 2014 It is painful to see the shipping cost what the record itself probably would cost alone... That's how I feel importing stuff from the US. It sucks both ways buddy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsusi Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 "Dear Manic Street Preachers Fan,This is important information regarding your recent order.To improve and enhance audio quality, the song "4st 7lbs" has been moved to track 1 on side 2 of the LP.It was a last minute decision so those lucky people receiving the first run of 'Holy Bible' box sets will be getting a rare collectors edition where the tracklisting shows "4st 7lbs" as the last track on side 1 (as per the original 1994 vinyl cut).We hope you enjoy your purchased item.Thanks again for ordering from us!Thank you,Your MyPlay Direct Team" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glass realms Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 It's about $70 shipped from Amazon UK. There are third party sellers on Amazon US selling it for around $75 shipped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

niblips Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 So this is getting a release for RSD. On picture disc. You gotta be kidding me. wow. crazy. Is this really necessary? I say no. I recently bought Futurology for $15 and Journal for Plague Lovers for $10 on amazon.ca hoping this box goes on sale soon. My local store has it for $80.... too much for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it was Everything Must Go i'd be all over it... pre-order even. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
