gmoney Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 From their blog: Big news for ‘The Books’. We are releasing an extensive limited-edition box set of all our releases plus a lot of bonus materials, both visual and auditory towards the end of the summer. I can’t reveal any details until we get the first demo copies in a few weeks, but I am very excited about this. It will be the perfect way to wrap up a project that I lived and breathed for the first 10 years of my career. Amazon has it up for preorder saying it will be nine (9!!!) discs: http://www.amazon.co...ASIN=B007Z84XJY For $163.81. I'm sure it will be less from TRL when it's released. $152.22 with free shipping which is a little better than TRL. Pretty pumped about this, but already have everything, so hoping there is something in here that will make it worth it for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thousandjulys Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 this while cool, would have to offer something pretty spectacular that i don't have as i just bought all the remasters last year. curious to see whats included! thanks for posting.

gmoney Posted May 16, 2012 Author Share Posted May 16, 2012 Yeah - it seems a bit redundant. Would rather just have a box of maybe unreleased tunes with some 'visual' (as they call it) bonus materials. And not make it over $100. Because I don't need a third copy of their first three albums. Sounds like a tough sell to me. We will see though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dreamover Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 maybe they'll sell the unreleased LP's separately? i'm fine with my colorful vinylz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shamrocks Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 i missed the colored represses, so i might be all over this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deafmx Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 I'll probably sell all my color copies for this if it's affordable. depends on how nice the box turns out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fitterhappier Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 I remember Nick Zammuto mentioning about doing a box set after The Books were no longer. Definitely going to buy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
esbe Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 Will be buying if the price is reasonable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harukim Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 I know they say "box Set", but I can't help but wonder if this will be packaged more along the lines of the Eluvium book that TRL put out. It would likely help to explain the price a bit. And I would be all over that, the Eluvium book is stunning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robotnetwork Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 This will be a perfect entry and exit point to the books on vinyl... much better than my crappy burnt cd-r's!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archiced Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 Just seen on the TRL Facebook account : GET READY! PRE-ORDERS BEGIN JUNE 1! ONLY 1,000 COPIES MADE! SORRY FOR SHOUTING, WE'RE JUST REALLY EXCITED!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
koremora Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 Fuck, I want this but I cannot afford 150 dollars right now. Probably gonna miss out. Wish they had released it in the fall! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shamrocks Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 i preordered, would hate to miss out on this. i can always cancel the preorder. edit: down to 151 on amazon, id imagine it will go lower Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deafmx Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 wait for the TRL preorder, I wouldn't trust amazon to ship this beast properly. TRL have the best prices as well, and possibly some color vinyl variation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monsterrod Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 I almost regret picking up all three of the reissues. I'm gonna have to pass on this. I can't swing $150 right now, especially on records I already own. Love TRL and The Books though, and I hope it sells as great as it looks.
