throughbeingcruel Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 This is a pretty sweet looking disc dude. Parlo stamp on front of sleeve. "Bowie" - big as life, dead center of label, just above spindle hole My local store broke up the box set so some of us could get our hands on these individually. You and I were in the same boat, as far as this release Whats the price on the boxset at LL? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soundofsilver Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 @throughbeingcruel - Did not bother to look dude. I'm sorry. They only had one, from what I saw. Prob around $200, knowing they seem to price things slightly lower than what is spoken of here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This shit is killing me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lexicondevil Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 Still waiting for my shipping notice from deepdiscounts. I figure that if I write this I will probably get the notice today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daswami Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 Placed my order on the 11th and got shipping confirmation this morning. Looks like the vinyl version was taken down from the site so I'm sure if you got your order in you're fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wheez Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 Deepdiscount shipped today. Ordered Monday around 5:30. I also made a back up order with CCMusic but haven't heard a peep on that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
throughbeingcruel Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 $225 at my local so I'm gonna save every penny I can for a couple weeks and try to snag it. Took a look at it today while grabbing my copy of Blackstar, and this fuckin thing is heavy as all hell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rip Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 Tracking says mine was delivered today! Holy shit that was fast. My friends girlfriend (who I talked into getting this) received hers today as well so I asked her how it was packaged and she said it was wrapped in bubble wrap inside of a box. She said it arrived perfectly so I just hope I'm as lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lexicondevil Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 Damn. Mine has not shipped yet. Nothing for me either. I just wrote them. I'm concerned because I ordered on the 11th and on the site they switched it to the 12th. That wouldn't normally mean anything except I think it sold out on the 12th?

GatorPrideSONNN Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 Maybe my youth is bleeding through me but I actually didnt know who David Bowie was when I saw a bunch of people on facebook posting that he died. Iam so sorry for his families loss. I feel bad for his fans to since he made them happy. Black Phillip 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGhostOfRandySavage Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 Can anyone explain to me why the Blackstar thread got locked almost 24 hours after the last comment was made? Clearly it wasn't out of control. tape 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

idioteque... Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 Can anyone explain to me why the Blackstar thread got locked almost 24 hours after the last comment was made? Clearly it wasn't out of control. The immature users decided to be immature with their comments especially the last guy Derek who was just instigating. Hopefully that attitude doesn't come into this thread by me making this comment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully that attitude doesn't come into this thread by me making this comment.It just seems a little crazy to lock a thread after two "immature" posts (this is the internet after all) 20+ hours afterward. Anywho, I'll drop it. No need to get this thread locked too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sidney Crosley Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 Maybe my youth is bleeding through me but I actually didnt know who David Bowie was when I saw a bunch of people on facebook posting that he died. Iam so sorry for his families loss. I feel bad for his fans to since he made them happy. The good news is you're in for a treat - his music is pretty incredible. Get yourself a Spotify account and start listening. Ziggy Stardust, Man Who Sold The World, Aladdin Sane, Diamond Dogs, and Low just to start. But even any greatest hits will do to get you going. You might get made fun of for not knowing who he is (or possibly other influential artists), but use it as an opportunity to get your mind blown - if not by Bowie, then by the many artists you've never heard. Some of my first listens to artists like Bowie, Van Morrison, Big Star, Tom Waits, etc. were so important to me in my teenage years.... bossdj26 and Daswami 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clearly it wasn't out of control. I saw that and it was stupid. There has been way more out of control stuff on this board than what was going on there. Now, people can't post leads for other people to find that damn record. Unlock that shit! dutchflowers 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan8765 Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 You may not think you have heard Bowie's music. But after giving it a listen you will realize either you had actually heard something he wrote, or you will recognize where other artists have gotten their inspiration. Changes, Under Pressure (Bowie/Queen), Heroes, Fame are all songs I had heard before in passing before actually listening to his albums.

Iam so sorry for his families loss. I feel bad for his fans to since he made them happy. As the other folks have already said, you may not know who he is, but you've definitely heard a couple of his songs over the years, I'd wager. Life On Mars seems like it's been in a ton of movies/tv shows, tons of his songs have just saturated pop-culture over the years. I feel the same way about Bowie that I do about Peter Gabriel; if you don't like at least one of the songs he's been involved with, you're a liar. bossdj26 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
