I was expecting a £60-£80 release. I can see why its expensive becuse the quality of the materials are of an excellent quality. But if EMI want the fans to fork out so much i'd expect at least 12 extended mixes on the b sides instead of instrumentals.
I imagine alot of people will hope that the Instru's turn up on the net.
I'm amazed at this, especially in the current economic climate.
Emi have messed up the release so far and now want us to pay £300 for this.

You're so wrong there!! - I debated for about 2 minutes, but then thought well £300 (+ p&p) divided by 12 ( I know there are only 11 discs - but the 12th is the signed print) which basically equates to around £26 quid per promo - which is what I'd probably be paying if they released them as DJ only promos. Only down point is the money being taken in one big hit.
The Introspective US promo set was roughly around £75 to £150 when it first surfaced (that was only 3 discs).
I personally think it will be a very nice item to have.
Wonderful, a very lavish thing to own - its the perfect meeting of both pop and art in one exquisite package...
If I was living in London with a 22 grand job I'd take five! sadly not...I'm quite happy with the normal vinyl release for £13.
I couldn't justify spending that amount on a record - the most I've paid in one go for a music release was the Kraftwerk Minimum - Maximum CD & DVD laptop set (£45)
