Pretty sure the difference between Standard and Deluxe is only the 180g (both black) and slightly different jackets?? Big price difference though @ $30 and $19

 

The Deluxe LP comes on 180 gram vinyl in high-gloss jackets, CDs come in hardbound book packaging recalling the classic Push Barman To Open Old Wounds collection. 

LPs include MP3 download coupon.


2003’s Dear Catastrophe Waitress ushered in a new chapter for Belle and Sebastian. Once a hushed bedroom indie project, the band reemerged as a pop powerhouse. Subsequent albums, The Life Pursuit and Write About Love marked a newfound confidence in the Scottish collective, and with it, some of their best record and ticket sales to date, elevating Belle & Sebastian from cherished undergroundlings into masters of modern songcraft.
 
Third Eye Centre, like its predecessor Push Barman To Open Old Wounds, collects fanfavorite b-sides from cherished albums and also serves as a documentary of a decade - in this case, Belle And Sebastian’s second coming.
 
From the remixes of “I’m A Cuckoo” and “Your Cover’s Blown” to soon-to-be-classics: Blue Eyes Of A Millionaire” and “Last Trip”, this collection traces the band’s growing interest in and mastery of classic rock, glam, disco and pop, all anchored by Stuart Murdoch’s forever-intimate lyricism.
 
Third Eye Centre’s collection of b-sides, collectibles & non-LP tracks is an indispensable entry into any Belle and Sebastian fan’s stacks and an essential preview of what the future holds.

Oh...I see now, its the CDs that make it jump up!

Anyone know a good source to get the 180g copies of their previous albums? I need to get Life Pursuit and Boy with the Arab Strap to round out the collection. I don't think Write About Love came in an 180g version right? 

[beatnik11]

Well, this is an instant buy.  B&S is definitely on my shortlist for favorite bands

[nelso330]

I have all their LPs.....I recently scored PUSH BARMAN...and I am looking to get rid of the 12" singles that are in that LP set...if anyone is interested..illl have to look at which ones....

 

as far as their other LPs just do some googling and hit up online retailers....their stuff is readily in print and able to find with a little work...

 

I ordered the Write About Love from the band...with the 7" so that was the "deluxe" one...I think it was 180g ill check tonight...

Does anyone know for sure the difference between the deluxe and standard vinyl versions?

 

The deluxe is sold out through Matador, but from the description it sounds like it maybe just came with the autographed poster? I don't need that, so I just wanna make sure I don't get hosed if I buy the deluxe off Discogs.

The poster was limited to 100

The deluxe is a thick cardboard like the qotsa is a bit taller as well. And the 180g

Gotcha, much appreciated. I was confused because based on the prices and descriptions from different sellers, both versions come in gatefolds. Now i know i want the deluxe, cuz those heavy jackets rule.
