darkeyelids Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 So keen for this release, a DVD from the era would have made this perfect, but its pretty great regardless. Although I do hope that it comes with a book, some replica posters or something "5LP Vinyl Boxset - Housed in lift off box with 2 double gatefolds and 1 single" Glad that all the seperate 'albums' have their own proper sleeves too. thesewoodenideas 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Saint Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 Whoa, that live set was right down the street from my childhood home. Technically it's Mansfield, MA (45 min south of Boston), but whatever. This is even more of a must-have for me now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lager Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 Looks like the RRP for this in the UK is about £70 (Norman Records have it at £67.99) so anyone interested I'd recommend pre-ordering from Amazon now as it's only £57.75 and they don't take payment until it's dispatched tvham and thesewoodenideas 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've found that, for the purposes of anyone not in Massachusetts, the entire state is Boston. Foxboro? Boston! Worcester? Boston! I thought I was finished with The Smiths when I bought that enormous box set on Popmarket a few years back, but I guess they'll be getting more of my $$.

radiatorhums Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 Bullmoose always seems to be a little expensive when it comes to imports, at least from what I've seen anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waters Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 Up on US Amazon now also at $99. Gonna ride out a preorder and maybe cancel in the hopes of catching a crazy temporary price drop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comcam Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 Was $51 euros when the link was first posted, only about $60 to the US Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timsimmons Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 When I ordered yesterday it was £57. After shipping its £61 and the same price as BM. I'll probably cancel and get it from BM for the points. Plarocks 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tvham Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 I got it for £51 shipped after they took off the VAT. Think I'll stick with that for now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timsimmons Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 Just arrived from Bullmoose. So fucking great. Lift top box, 3 double gatefolds (with only 1 LP in the album sleeve). Pressing is top notch. Didn’t even clean them before playing, and it sounds fantastic. I think the cut is really good. I’m interested in comparing it to my original Sire. Gonna play the live album this afternoon to see how that goes. I had had forgotten about ordering this until earlier this week and considered cancelling in case a better deal came along later, but I’m not disappointed in this isn the least.

somethingvinyl Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 I don't know if those B-sides are really that widely known (like, have I heard them already), but this looks great. OneThreeOneTwo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timsimmons Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 The b-sides are on The World Won't listen and Louder Than Bombs so if you are familiar with those comps, you'll know them. somethingvinyl 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timsimmons Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 (edited) One minor quibble (and its so minor - but I hate them and will be swapping them out so I'll mention it) the records aren't shipped in their inners to eliminate split seams which is class, but they use those poly liners that are rounded at the bottom, which are shit, to preserve the record otherwise. Almost every record was bunched up in their sleeve and partially exposed (which is why I hate them). I didn't get any scratches because of this, but just a heads up to be careful.
