toomanyrecords Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 How the hell isn't this sold out yet? So confused. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Friendly1 Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 Anyone know the dimensions of the box? I am selling two copies of Cities in the for sale section if anyone is interested. Thanks [Banned User] 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tedwards_ Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 So...i assume everyone who ordered probably chose "USPS Priority Flat Rate -Free" But i noticed they also offer another option of regular "Priority Mail" for $11 What would make anyone choose the $11 priority over free priority? Is one supposed to be faster than the other? Or are they the exact same speed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpazzyMcGee Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 Was just thinking this today. Haven't heard a peep on whether or not these aren't even ready. Hope they are though but my guess would be Nov/Dec shipping date Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Banned User] Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 I just figured we would have seem some updates with pictures of the process. Either way, we know that the masters were sent out at least. Now to just be more patient. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tedwards_ Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 Went ahead and emailed Benchmark Customer Service two days ago asking if these boxsets got delayed or anything like that and they replied to me this morning saying these are still set to ship out on 9/28. I was hoping they'd ship a few days early so we could receive them on release day, but hey at least there's no delays. throughbeingcruel, texan4life, SpazzyMcGee and 6 others 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmhmm Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 Whenever this arrives, it'll be interesting to see what reducing both Cities and New Surrender from 2xLPs to single LPs each does, quality-wise, especially with Cities. Hopefully the "remastered for vinyl" nicely eliminates that concern. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully the "remastered for vinyl" nicely eliminates that concern. The live version of Cities (from the Live in New York double LP) wasn't bad. There was a transition issue where they started playing or introducing a song and then it cut off on side A (then picking up on side B ), but looking at it's length it was about 49 minutes. Looking at the "studio" version, Cities is 46:30 with New Surrender at 45. So I think they will be just fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at the "studio" version, Cities is 46:30 with New Surrender at 45. So I think they will be just fine. I suspect you're correct. It's just interesting that there are 2xLP versions of each album out there...meaning, a conversation was had somewhere along the line where it was decided it was preferable to split the albums up that way due, I assume, to length. However...this may have been due to how the records were mastered (as in, they weren't mastered for vinyl during their first pressing, classic T&N). Assuming these were properly mastered for vinyl this time around, the length concern shouldn't be an issue. I wish there were digital files of the new masters included with this release. That'd be solid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
