oojavaguru Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 Wow, that is a lot of good material....still have my original Safari CD EP and tickets to the 20th anniversary tour.... But I'd hate to think how expensive that vinyl box will be.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crapforgenius Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 I am normally not into these super fetishy vinyl sets. However, it's 'Last Splash' for heaven's sake and I will be ALL over this, I don't care how much it costs. I can't believe they managed to exceed my expectations at what the 'LSXX' set would contain. This somehow keeps getting better and better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
no use for a username Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 Wasn't really a Last Splash fan in the 90s, but this album has really grown on me since. Kinda afraid to see how much this goes for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crapforgenius Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 UK shops have started to post listings for this. Average is £18.99 for the 3xCD and £79.99 for the vinyl, which will probably translate to around $30-40 and $85-110 for the domestic pressing I would guess. A bit more than I was hoping to spend, but if these are anything like recent 4AD CD box set reissues - This Mortal Coil, Colourbox, etc. - then it will be well worth the investment.

lexicondevil Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 Doesn't seem like an insane price for what you get, but damn it 's a lot of cash. I better start saving my pennies. kannibal 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest realtalk Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 Last Splash is their finest. Also looking forward to more Kim Deal singles, hopefully soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crapforgenius Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 The 4AD shop has this up for pre-order: http://shopusa.4ad.com/featured-4ad-homepage/lsxx $23 for the CD - A STEAL - and $90 for the vinyl. A little more than I wanted to spend, but I know I'm gonna end up with it anyways. Also note: the vinyl won't ship until June or July according to the site.

heypeterman Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 Pre-ordered at amazon.ca instead. $112.85 but it would have been over $130 with shipping through the 4AD store. Also, Amazon doesn't charge until it ships which is quite a ways off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youspinmeround Posted May 8, 2013 Author Share Posted May 8, 2013 Fallon had the set on the show last night Amazon, which has this for 166, has a date of 5/14. The 4ad site which has this for 90, says will ship in june or july Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonyfranciosa Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 the CD is coming out on 5/14, according to an e-mail I got from 4AD last month. the vinyl was delayed till late June/early July for the infamous "production issues" btw, saw them in Philly on Sunday night and they were fantastic. Kim's voice is definitely not as strong as it once was, but the band was tight and they were having fun. crapforgenius 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orangesix Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 That's a lot of discs and money for a band that had exactly one good song ("canonball"). You must of not heard that album, because the entire thing is great. Their other albums are pretty good too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was at Philly too and Manhattan the next night - this tour is such a blast, I hope it hits the east coast again when it comes back for the summer/fall festivals.

Managed to pre-order from Amazon.co.uk for £48. It's up to £58 now, but still better than 80 quid. God bless Amazon pre-order price guarantee!
