Definitive Albums Box Set

Just saw this email this morning. Who's in? And who's hoping this means individual re-releases as well?

I'd love to get it with some Christmas cash, but the whole box is a bit much for me at the moment. I'd pay half that just for AITB! Pretty awesome news.

Edit: Look at those pictures and count the number of spines. There's one too many...? OR IS THE NEW LP HERE?

(just kidding, but that IS odd - maybe the limited edition print comes in a sleeve too?)

You're right, I count 8 spines when the description only lists 7 items including Abbey Road and Dead In The Boot. It *would* seem a bit silly releasing a definitive boxset only to release another album shortly afterwards... unless one is a booklet maybe?

All in all, brilliant news.

The only albums you can currently buy separately on vinyl are TSSK (£17.99), BARB (£14.99) and Dead (£19.99)

As for the Box Set, Elbow store shows

Limited edition box set of all albums to date on seven heavyweight vinyl double gatefold LPs plus a USB stick holding all 7 albums as high resolution WAV files.


Vinyl releases are:

1. Asleep In the Back – featuring the track ‘Asleep In The Back’ for the first time on vinyl
2. Cast of Thousands – currently out of press on vinyl, and first time it will be available as a double gatefold
3. Leaders of the Free World – currently out of press on vinyl, and first time it will be available as a double gatefold
4. Seldom Seen Kid
5. Build A Rocket Boys
6. Dead In The Boot
7. Live at Abbey Road – previously only available as a CD release and not available outside of this box set.

Hmm - It's not something that appeals to me to be honest. I'm not bothered in the slightest in how I listen to music - just as long as I listen to it. Having spent all my youth collecting LPs, I have no wish to add more 'stuff' to my life.

For me, putting the words "Limited Edition" in front of it sealed the deal, lol.

Mine's just arrived. :-)

Early birthday present. Beautiful!

Lucky You ! Well jealous ! Happy Birthday !

Hello!

I was given it for Xmas as a pressie but due to being a student who is muchos skintos, am clearing out and thought some one here might like it? I actually don't have a vinyl player to play it on so have never used it!

It's totally brand new, still sealed and very very rare limited edition and collectable! Will make a good home for any Elbow fan. Think only 250 copies were made too?

Let me know if any one is interested Thought I'd try here before anywhere else

Cheers,
