tonyfranciosa Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 I probably would have been on the fence for the deluxe, but I played the In Rainbows and King of Limbs deluxes over the past 2 days and they are still 2 of more amazing sounding records I own, so it's totally worth it to me.

Thanks. However, will a standard hit retail? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's already a white exclusive for independent retailers. i can't imagine why there wouldn't be standard version for all retailers. Most likely released by XL.

downisthenewup87 Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 Ordered the white. It only came to a little over 25 bucks to the US because taxes don't seem to apply (so it subtracts 4+ from your total). Pretty sure that's less than the standard will sell for in shops.

There's no PayPal option so I can't just take it all the way to the PayPal payment screen and see how much I would be charged in USD. edit: I think homebody did a 22.49 euro conversion, not GBP which is what Rough Trade deals in. Hope he doesn't mind the extra ~$7. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scruffy...the janitor Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 I did the same. It brings it to about $38. I will wait for a cheaper price...On that note, is there anyone who has an extra download that could hold me over? Sorry to be that guy, but here we are.

YouTwo Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 Maybe I'm misunderstanding but when people are talking about the deluxe versions being the best records they own does that mean they sound better than the standard version? Will the deluxe be a different pressing than the standard? (I know there is probably no way to know for sure) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuckle Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 Grabbed the deluxe. RH hasn't gone wrong with the deluxes yet, so I'll continue to put my faith in them. I do find it interesting that they rolled S&H costs directly into the price. A nice surprise, but sneaky win Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyfranciosa Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 They are definitely pressed differently. Both In Rainbows and KOL were 45 RPM and sound much better than the standard 12" 33 RPM versions to my ears. Not sure what they have planned for this, but it appears for now that only the packaging is deluxe here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talking about how he was married to his wife for 23 years and they divorced late last year (when he was 46). He spent half of his life with her. If you notice in the video, it's him walking alone doing day to day activities in various places like a house, laundromat, beach etc. Then at the end, he's still alone. Yea that makes plenty sense, thanks man. Beautiful tie in with the video, also listening to " True Love Waits" again jeez if that doesn't have a massive Steve Reich influence i don't know what does, its absolutely gorgeous. The whole album is painfully beautiful, filled with heart wrenching textures and beautiful sprawling soundscapes. The album as a whole has really impressed me through the first few listens, and only has been getting better after each listen. I have wanted an album like this from them for awhile, beautiful masterpiece. Very excited to get the deluxe package in September and spin it.

Hope he doesn't mind the extra ~$7. That's definitely what happened. I'll blame all the weed I've smoked with my mother today. Don't mind the extra $7 either way. I'd put the odds on the standard retailing for around $30 anyways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youspinmeround Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 I was getting worried but it only took a few hours for vc to overrun the thread with prices and deluxe edition comments. Whereas on the hoffman forums, they immediately started bitchin about the dynamic range Maybe tmmw we can discuss the music agaetisbyrjun and Tommy 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rip Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 Remember how I didn't want to pay the $40 for the standard? Well I just caved and bought the deluxe bundle. What's wrong with me? thesewoodenideas and unknown pleasures 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
