BeardedSteven Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 This is ridiculously expensive for 7 12"s if you ask me. Is anybody else biting the hook?.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexH. Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 (edited) Somewhat of a bizarre release - this is basically the exact tracklisting found on Push Barman to Open Old Wounds, which is readily available. You can buy it for $22.49 from Matador right now: http://store.matadorrecords.com/push-barman-to-open-old-wounds that way you have 8 fewer sides to flip and you can save like 140 bucks.

BeardedSteven Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 I agree. This release makes no sense. I would say they are my favorite band and I would love to be complete, and the booklets and whatnot would be cool. But there's no good reason to repress these...

YouTwo Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 Darn, I was hoping this would be an albums box set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unknown pleasures Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 I don't think this is as bad a release as some of you suggest. I agree the tracks themselves aren't difficult to find, but those original Jeepster pressings were lovely and I think they look great in a nice slipcase. The additional booklets and 'zine repros look nice, as well. They're obviously going after the "collector" market with this, what with the individual numbering and all, and as a collector's item it's not bad. The price is a little on the high end, especially factoring in overseas shipping, but the signed photo is also a nice touch that helps take off a little of the sting. I wouldn't buy it myself but I can see the appeal to a big B&S fan... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YouTwo Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 True. This isn't as bad as The National "A Lot of Sorrow" Box Set that was 9 LPs of the same song. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeardedSteven Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 I keep thinking of the Day of the Dead set with 10 full length LPs that 4AD is selling for $145 I think. $140 for 7 EPs (plus a dvd and goodies) is high. I'm still only about one second from pre-ordering though. It is Belle and Sebastian after all... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unravelled Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 Love love love Push Barman but the bank account can't support this puppy. Looks nice though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ratbrain Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 This is down to around $150-160 shipped, at least $20 less than last time I checked (on Brexit night). Might come down more if the pound keeps dropping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
