cantdance Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 (edited) It’s a pretty incredible package. I’ll keep it vague since it seems like people are still waiting but it was definitely worth the wait. EDIT: Also it’s *huge* I just set it next to my other box sets and it’s substantially bigger than all of them. I admittedly don’t have a ton but it still shocked me just how thick this set is!

mootloot Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 Just got shipping confirmation. Really excited to see how these came out and hoping it was worth the wait. This album is really important to me and helped me through a difficult difficult time in my life. Now I’m in a much better place and can’t wait to spin it!!

bjorn Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 I assume this set will sound a bit better than the standard variants, which sounds pretty good already, but can anyone comment on the pressing quality? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattallurgist Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 (edited) Mine just came and it seems like one of the little lyric inserts for Winter Solstice (the album version) is missing in mine - can anyone who's got the package yet double-check whether theirs has an insert for both versions of the song and let me know please? I know it's a tiny thing, but it's gonna drive me nuts if it's missing! Tiny bits aside, the package is gorgeous - the labelless records look amazing. I expected plain white LPs for the 'white' version but the 'natural' clear colour looks amazing.

Mine is also missing. Consider it more of a poignant statement, rather than an annoyance! 9 hours ago, bjorn said: I assume this set will sound a bit better than the standard variants, which sounds pretty good already, but can anyone comment on the pressing quality? I'm listening to it now and it's basically the same with the added bonus of more flips. My dog (who has great hearing btw) tells me it sounds wider, fuller, snappier (and also that she wants to be fed in return of this knowledge).

I believe the purpose of the pockets is that it's the same lyrics between the two versions, so you can move the insert to whichever version you're listening to.

RadDonut Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 Holy shit this whole package is pretty incredible. The space variant is super cool. It's the clearest record I've seen and the white blob looks awesome. On another note, am I missing something with the book? It's absolutely gorgeous but I can't read anything 😂😂 whoa 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rickydenim Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 I really REALLY wanted this but the shipping alone was over $70 US to Australia I've been meaning to look into some freight forwarding companies to see if I could get it shipped for cheaper but haven't had the time. Great to hear it was worth the wait! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rcafilm Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 Listened to it yesterday and it sounds outstanding. I don't have a standard pressing to compare to, but the 45 just sounds so good to me. The bass in particular stood out to me on this listen. Great album, great pressing.

chhholly123 Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 I got my shipping confirmation email and delivery on the same day. The splatter looks awesome, and the book is very cool. Haven't had a chance to listen yet but I will tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
backpackoat Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 This is a really beautiful package. I ordered the 200g white and got the clear with splatter though, this happen to anyone else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seanbo Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 Hi everybody, my first post. 350 days later and I finally got what I paid for. I'm a little too conflicted on this. The vinyl is maybe my favorite piece in my collection. I ordered the splatter. It's glass clear and elmer's glue white with intricate etching in the center. When it spins @45rpm it looks like a hurricane. The record sleeves are perhaps my favorite part of the package. If you haven't seen it yet I won't give it away but I was really joyful to see the little surprise extra mile effort on them. The book is giant and you can tell a lot of work went into. However it's beauty is almost lost due to the fact that you can hardly see anything in it. It's like MWY gave you bonus cataracts with the book. Honestly I don't get it. Why make something so beautiful and turn it into a hid and seek game. One or two pages maybe, but almost every page? The albums themselves are on the low end of my favorites for MWY. I think they could have made one solid offering and left the rest on the cutting floor. I don't know, maybe it will grow on me. Still I'm glad to have it in the collection, just not all the unnecessary baggage that came with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pro tip- don’t make the first thing you say some entitled shit about a band that gave regular updates on this and the related delays. pro tip 2- you know they pressed this in a standard single jacket, too, right? so all that design and effort that went into this package (unnecessary baggage, as you call it) isn’t mandatory. welcome to the site, be less of an ass Edited September 26, 2019 by holyvacantsholyhell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you purchase something, you're not being entitled for wanting to receive that item in a reasonable time frame. They were obviously chill enough to wait it out. The point about the book being hard to read is valid, but it's art and I think that the OP appreciates it in that sense. As far as it being unnecessary baggage, well, yeah... Buy the standard edition. But still, don't gotta be so mean about it. ok. and jeromium 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems awfully disrespectful to the band that has consistently put lots of effort and love into their deluxe packaging. Especially when there’s, what? A half dozen standard variants? but yeah you right, lesson learned, no posting before coffee.

mcpherson123 Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 I think @Seanbo just meant the "baggage" was all the delays. I didn't get the impression they meant some piece of the content in the package was "baggage" but maybe I'm wrong. But the fair point regarding the delays, as many have stated, they kept you in the loop about really well. Unlike SRC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RadDonut Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 I made the same point about the book earlier in the thread. It's annoying. The book is fuckin cool but you seriously can't read any of it. I don't get the design decision on that part. It's a shame because it's all so awesome. White pages with white lettering... mootloot and MCDELTAT 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
