Still time for the rest of them to be added before November, hopefully!

if only the rest of the world could see the glass as half full as you do

if they are including all the b-sides on CD singles from the 1st three albums and all of them from EMG CD1 singles onwards then at least those who have pre-ordered this are not getting ripped off and are getting a set that looks a good deal better than what was originally announced & indicated. they may well even get a few more orders once the actual tracklisting is announced - there's plenty of us who do not have all the singles prior to EMG, this could be a good, if expensive, way of rounding off the collection.

one can only hope that the band had little say and it's Sony who have come up with this idea, otherwise it's a worrying lack of pride in some of the b-sides the lads have made and are destined to remain unheard.

Wow, that is very very tempting, even though between me and my partner we have all the Sony singles. It's a bit of a shame they haven't made it a complete set by including vinyl and CD2 bsides, but it's very cool all the same.

RE the 7" ... is that ONE 7" with New Art Riot, Suicide Alley and Jackie Collins on it, or three separate 7"s? If it's three, with the related bsides and artwork, I'll probably get the boxset.

Do they accept Paypal?

Play have signed copies. Only vinyl I have heard about is the special edition of Q Magazine which features about 12 or so tracks but not so many singles on it.

I'd say they're separate. Would be stupid to include them all on one. Not in keeping with a collectors box. I'm surprised new art riot is included as isnt that Damaged Goods's cash cow?

Having some of the b-sides, instead of all of them, in a box set collection like this, to me anyway, seems even more bizarre than not having any of them included. All or nothing. They should at least stick the rest of them on one disc, and call it the disc 2 b-sides?
I suppose the people who plan to buy it will be happy more tracks are included, but it just all seems a little weird to me.

Don't know whether this worthy of a new topic and since it was mentioned here previously I thought I'd post a new picture of the Original Album Classics boxset that's coming out:



Its strange seeing that the discs have a new design being that previous GT/GATS boxset just used the previously released designs.

"The boxset is only available from the Manics website store."
Is that true? Because the website store is not available in Switzerland. AARGHH
