freverend Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Just got this email! WOW, I am so glad I didn't buy the recent vinyl re-issue... Original text below ... trailer here to mark its 16th birthday, a definitive, much expanded edition of ágætis byrjun is in the works for early summer. the deluxe boxset edition will feature previously unheard studio recordings and rare live versions from this pivotal period in the band's development, as well as a welter of photographic and documentary material from their personal archives and plenty more besides. it will be a beautiful thing to behold, and the last word in completist editions of sigur rós catalogue releases.while we are still finalising design and content - and will share with you as soon as it's fixed - we wanted you to know about this now [as well as other expanded editions of von and ( )], since the band's first three albums have all just become available on re-mastered, heavyweight vinyl for the first time in ages. go either look for the vinyl reissues now, or hang on for something grander still.

scottyrobotty Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Already have money set aside in my Sigur Ros vinyl emergency fund. I'm glad I didn't buy the regular edition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markok Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Are these even records + CD + DVD or just CD-s + DVD? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Vool Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Knowing "expanded Sigur Ros" releases will be super expensive (and probably you'll have to switch/change records after one track), I'm still happy with my "regular" version...depending on the price, I might give it a thought!

That Kveikur box set was indeed very stupid. Usually on of the records ironically has a non-fill or a scratch and so you are stuck with the defect box because replacement is no different.

rpm4 Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 Just an FYI "at 21.00 gmt friday, to mark the 16th birthday of their second album, ágætis byrjun, sigur rós will be streaming the release day concert played at the icelandic opera house on june 12, 1999. unless you were there, this 1hr 40min never before heard concert, will be streamed through once in its entirety. exclusively via agaetis.sigur-ros.co.uk, at 21.00 Icelandic time (14.00 pst / 17.00 est / 22.00 bst / 23.00 cet / 06.00 jst), the same time as the original reykjavík show all those years ago. newly mixed by the band’s kjartan sveinsson at sundlaugin studios, the 11-song set draws in equal amounts from ágætis byrjun and its 1997 predecessor von. it shows the band at a pivotal point in their development, a couple of months before they broke through on the international stage with the album’s first single, svefn-g-englar. the opera house show also proved to be the last performance with drummer and founder member ágúst ævar gunnarsson, who would soon be replaced by orri páll dýrason. live at the icelandic opera house will form part of a forthcoming deluxe vinyl box set edition of ágætis byrjun to follow later in the year." Really excited for the box set. RPM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itsgoodtobefree Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 Sounds like it might've been delayed past summer. :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dreddfan Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 I thought kjartan left before kveikur came out? unless "newly mixed" isn't all that new at all? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rabbitvinyl Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 This is all fine and dandy and I will most likely try to grab a copy even though I already own two versions of it - but WE'RE STILL WAITING ON THAT TAKK REPRESS.

DarcX Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 Don't own any Sigur Rós vinyl... Or any boxset... Guess I HAVE to get this now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunkilmoonfan Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 I am hoping it will be in the $50-60 range. $100 for each of the deluxe editions coming our way would be painful... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SNEAKORDS Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 I got an email from "ágætis byrjun" today, no subject or content. another announcement coming up (or already happened and my email is broken)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottyrobotty Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 I literally can't wait for this deluxe box set So does that mean you're going to die? Don't own any Sigur Rós vinyl... Or any boxset... Guess I HAVE to get this now! No, you still don't have to. But this is a good place to start for Sigur Rós and will probably be a decent box set.

toomanyrecords Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 That's horribly rude for someone you don't like for a juvenile and inconsequential reason on an Internet forum but to each their own. simonsj 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
