jipc Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 http://shop.thexx.info/music.html From mailing list - We have created some limited edition vinyl box sets of our two albums 'xx' and 'Coexist', each one contains the 11 songs as individual 7" as well as the individual artwork and our logo etched on the b side. They are limited to 1000 each album. This is something we have been wanting to do for a long time, we hope you like them! xx The xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fozzyb Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 Like these, but the idea of having to change 11 records seems weird to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 trying to convert fans into vinyl collectors? give them a product that will make their listening experience as inconvenient as possible! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CardboardDoom Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 Yeah, maybe its just me, but I would never choose that over just an LP. Its more money for an inconvenience. I love my records, but not to point where I need an individual record player Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rpm4 Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 If this had been like the Killers 7" box from awhile back and included b-sides or rarities, this would have been worthwhile. Not very well conceived in my view. RPM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mourning Wood Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 Ouch! $102 shipped to the US. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deafening Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 Our songs are only about three minutes long on average. Let's put them ALL on their own 7"! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jipc Posted November 23, 2013 Author Share Posted November 23, 2013 Yep I agree with all of the above. Definitely not my cup of tea but I know some people here were interested when this was first mentioned around the time Coexist was released.

AlexH. Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 This is the dumbest way to present an album that I have ever seen in my entire life. grizzlyfoz 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beags Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 id call the xx one of my favourite bands and i dont even have a problem with the release format but that price and postage is fucking ridiculous for what it is plasma36 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kidamnesiac Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 I still kind of want that Rancid 7" boxset. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grizzlyfoz Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 This is the dumbest way to present an album that I have ever seen in my entire life. I've been trying to come up with something worse than this and the only thing I came up with was a 5" boxset where you had to flip to the b-side mid-song.
