No, I aways make a point of having a full English breakfast before the postie knocks on the door.

The same here.I really want the 3cd/dvd/book/vinyl edition but if it's too expensive I will buy the "classic"2cd/dvd unless my husband decides to give me the Limited Edition as an early Christmas present.

On the book, I've had a terrible thought. That £200 (£550 for the lettered edition) photo book that Kevin Cummins was putting together for release last year is still waiting to come out, isn't it?

We do know the band decided to hi-jack it and that they and Sony love to make their box sets as expensive as possible...

Good Idea!I have lots of Cd I don't listen to anymore so that could be a good incentive to tidy up.

As far as I know, I also got in touch with Kevin Cummins to try to sort out this matter, they moved the book to another publisher.
The book being entirely sold out, it will be curious if a "downgraded edtion" will be a bonus for the box.


And yes, like UEF I often have a sense of emptiness when the box arrives.
I don't know if I felt worse with National Treasures or with Postcards From A Young Man, but the biggest disappointment was Death Of A Polaroid signed and numbered edition.

Cheers

Unless I hear sterling reports of the expensive edition, I'll just be getting the 2CD/DVD version.

i imagine the 2 CD 1 DVD set will do me fine, thanks. unless there's something ridiculous and fucking excellent on the 10" vinyl, which i am finding hard to imagine being the case.
