scottyrobotty Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 I already have money set aside for all of these. Given that SIgur Ros is pushing their vinyl catalog now I'd be very surprised if they don't do special edition vinyl versions of at the first three albums and Takk wouldn't surprise me either. They need to put out Peel Sessions, We Bought A Zoo soundtrack, and a rarities collection while they're at it. I'd buy a Simpsons theme 7" too. wbhendrix 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 First time I've ever read that! Brave man and though I'm 180 degrees from you on Takk (even Saeglopur, mang, really?), to post that without asbestos suit in a SR thread takes some huevos. Not sure if I'm going to shell out for the AB. Nah, I will likely cave. My NM++ Takk OG was $125. I really really don't like Takk and glad I'm not the only one. I hardly even like ( ) though. AB, on the other hand, is one of the greatest albums I have heard. Those bass lines (Olsen Olsen, Ny Batteri) make me melt. serious business 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianmorgante Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 I'm curious what the expanded edition of ( ) will be. I might have to go all out for that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blumplum Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 I didn't realize they did the soundtrack for We Bought a Zoo. That's awesome, you learn something new every day. I believe it actually was just Jónsi, still a damn good soundtrack though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nelso330 Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Guys the boxset is clearly vinyl as they say the represses are out or wait for the set! Vinyl is implied and if your a fan of sigur ros you would be a fool not to pull the trigger on any boxset! iMO but then again I am a sigur ros nut!

Stravinsky Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Has anyone in the US who pre-ordered these from Amazon UK received their copy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottyrobotty Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 I believe it actually was just Jónsi, still a damn good soundtrack though. Well, it has Hoppipolla on it and the rest is new and old stuff from Jonsi. I have emailed vinyl films about this a couple of times and they say it's happening. Someday.

Blumplum Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Has anyone in the US who pre-ordered these from Amazon UK received their copy? Not yet, I got my shipping confirmation on the 16th with an expected delivery date of what was supposed to be Wednesday. If it doesn't show up by the end of today I'm shooting them a message.

fondfarewell Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 Has anyone in the US who pre-ordered these from Amazon UK received their copy? AB shipped 2/15 for me and arrived earlier this week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serious business Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 Already messaged amazon uk. They said they sent them by some carrier I've never heard of and that they're held up in transit somewhere and to wait until march 3rd. If I haven't seen it be then I'm supposed to get back in contact with them. Then again...the person have me a couple different conflicting pieces of info, and was less than helpful. Please, by all means get in contact with them and get angry with them. Stravinsky 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please, by all means get in contact with them and get angry with them. I contacted them and was told the same thing... "It’s been our experience that the majority of late parcels arrive shortly after the estimated delivery date. Would you mind waiting for couple of days? As our carrier informed us there is delay in the Asendia network deliveries to United States so it might be delayed. I would request you to wait for the maximum till 3 March 2015. This is the maximum time I would request you to wait. " Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It really does sound great. I took the sleeve and stored it separate. They had 4 at my store and the other 3 were falling apart. Mine has no cd.

helsabot Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 I grabbed a copy of ( ) at my local store, it sounds perfect, no surface noise. Guess I was lucky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sinatra.45 Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 I ordered my copy of ( ) from Amazon.co.uk and it finally arrived today. Immediately threw on C/D as that's where most of the criticism has been with the pressing and fortunately my copy is without issue. Must be a few good copies circulating...
