Derek™ Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 Agreed with your guys' sentiments. CODY and Young Team are probably my two favorite Mogwai albums - I struggle to decide which I favor more, all the time - and I caved on a YT boxset a few months back. I think I paid something like $60, and justified it by convincing myself that all the additional material would be bad-ass. And looking back on it, I have zero regrets. If the CODY box is of equal or better quality, I'll be thrilled to drop a chunk of change on it. The idea of having box versions of my two favorite Mogwai albums has me pretty giddy, I think.

radiatorhums Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 ^ My thoughts exactly. CODY and YT are my two favorites and the YT box set is pretty much perfect. Also, you have to figure that a 4xLP CODY box set will probably cost about as much as a used copy of the OP goes for on eBay. Fantastic news!

Also, you have to figure that a 4xLP CODY box set will probably cost about as much as a used copy of the OP goes for on eBay. Fantastic news! Precisely. I could maybe see myself caving and dropping $60 on an OG copy (if I was guaranteed a repress wouldn't be happening), but it'd have to be in damn fine condition. And unfortunately, all of the copies I've seen for sale have some significant wear on the jacket, vinyl, or occasionally both. I'd find it really tough to pay premium prices for a product that's been handled poorly. The wait will be worth it, regardless of how dreadfully long it may feel. Anyone know what a Young Team boxset retailed for, stateside? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Youinreverse Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 I think it was $80 or $90... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek™ Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 Seriously? I think I recall seeing it listed for $80, but it was through a site I've since forgotten, and I recall them always marking their stock up quite a bit. Did most people go through Amazon for it? If it retails for $80, I'd still have no problem jumping on it for the reasons discussed above. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Youinreverse Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 I just checked Insound, and they have it for $83.99. I got my copy from them a few years ago for somewhere in the $65-75 range because of a sale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 I still need that YT box. I have an original but I love the bonus stuff and it's one of my favorite albums. I was lucky enough to get a never played copy of CODY a few months back for $60 on discogs. Not to brag but I am still stoked that I got it. Probably my prized possession.

Derek™ Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 That's a hell of a find. I've had both the US and UK versions in my watch-list for months now, but probably ignored that listing when one or two particular sellers kept listing CODY two or three times a day. Or maybe I was just broke. Either way, that's a sweet deal. I hope they don't tamper with the album's cover, inside the boxset. It's easily my least favorite Mogwai art, but I still wouldn't change it for the world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radiatorhums Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 If I recall, I paid a little over $80 for a new copy of the Young Team box at a local shop. It was definitely something I eyeballed every time I walked in there until I picked it up. I need to revisit the supplement LPs, but I remember the live versions of Like Herod and Mogwai Fear Satan being killer. In regard to them messing with the CODY artwork, I'd be fine if the did it similarly to the YT set. Where the box cover is different, but the first printed sleeve has the original artwork. I still need that YT box. I have an original but I love the bonus stuff and it's one of my favorite albums. It would be worth picking up day for the different master as well.

Greystash Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 "Off"topic: This is how my longboard actually tuned out. We found the Batman-logo but then decided to use a different picture.

Greystash Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 Cheers! But right now I'm rather thinking that it was a mistake...This girl and I have maintained a strange relationship over the last 4-5 years and now it just feels awkward to ride with her painting but that's something for the Man Advice thread.

Derek™ Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 Unrelated but on topic: listening to Ten Rapid for the first time, right now. Holy shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 You've never heard it before?!?!? One of my favorites. It is so good. That reminds me to listen to it now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek™ Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 Yeah, I just never really bothered with a lot of the older [or obscure] material, outside of albums. Still haven't checked out Kicking A Dead Pig or the Zidane OST. But Ten Rapid and EP+6 are dope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 I love how different it is than their newer stuff. Once Barry joined the band and they added keyboards, their sound changed a bit. I love going back to the stuff before that. Kicking A Dead Pig is so so. I am not a fan of remixes for the most part. You'd love Zidane since you like CODY.

I haven't managed to dig through their entire catalogue, but there are some gems hidden in the EPs and singles. Kicking a Dead Pig doesn't do much for me, but I don't really feel like Young Team warranted a remix album either. On the plus side, it's a 3xLP which can be snagged for relatively cheap. I think that A Wrenched Virile Lore was a better remix album, mainly due to the material that it had to work with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derek™ Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 Very nice. My copy just arrived this afternoon, ironically. Feels great, man. Officially just waiting on dat CODY, now. I am overly determined to own a complete Mogwai collection. Regarding the remix albums: I generally don't even bother with them. Would you guys recommend Wrenched? I quite enjoy HWNDBYW, for what that's worth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
