I always give stuff from the US 2 to 3 weeks to get here before thinking its lost...no idea what holds it up

Praps shipping literally means its coming by boat

Let's be clear here - the sound quality of the UK mix is, just like the vinyl in the box set, completely pathetic and pretty much unlistenable. There is no way that they should have put this album on just one LP - it's absolutely begging to be put on 2 LPs. This reissue on vinyl is a completely wasted opportunity that sacrifices quality to make money

I often think the whole double vinyl thing is an excuse to charge even more.. and its a pain flipping it over after 2 or 3 songs. i think the box set sounds great

I bought the picture disc to look at rather than play. I haven't bought the 20th anniversary box, seems like not a lot extra for the money, and where does it end, will there be a 30th and a 40th?

Same here - bought for the picture (might frame it!) and didnt get the box set either. I mostly listen to mp3's anyway and i'm not sure how many copies of THB I already have on CD!!!!

I'm also close to feeling done with this album now anyway and don't want to buy or do anything more related to it after Cardiff, even in 10 or 20 years time! Slight chance I might get the t shirt but I already bought 2 last year so hopefully I won't! Future expenditure should go on other bands albums now!!

I think the last thing I do is frame the vinyl with a background of cuttings from magazines I have piling up with bible articles/photos, or maybe my dog tags. Then I probably end up putting it in the loft and not listen to the album again for a few months

Umm, I own the box and the vinyl certainly sounds great to me. I wonder if it's a matter of the turntable and cartridge you're using?

Still not tracked even in the country yet, getting annoying now. Probably arrive when I'm in bloody Cardiff at this rate

What!?!

[hummingbird]

I wasn't lucky getting one from Banquet records after all

I was expecting them to turn up eventually on amazon marketplace but not reduced.

Finally received the UK mix from America. Brand new vinyl and the seams are split though, fuck sake.
