Got mine today and I have to say, what a fantastic little item. Showing it off to work colleages and the general consesus was the same as me, some of them even looking at getting their own made up through the Playbutton website for presents for loved ones.

As for the sound quality, it really isn't THAT bad and playing around with the graphic equalizer helps as well. As Mr love says it seems to be easy enough to replace the tracks on it with higher quality ones and I will definately be adding any extra b sides etc that come out with future Electric releases onto mine.

The packageing is very nice and all in all i'm very happy with it, as far as i'm concerned, £15 well spent :)

Nice find Mr Madness!!
I've lost the chance 'cos even if with a Twitter account, an official site, a newsletter they did not tell to none about this release. :grumble: :grumble: :grumble: :wall: :wall:

£14 - which I thought was a bit much... Oh well, I'm glad I'm not a PSB collector.

"Let's make lots of money", indeed.
And everything about tonight feels right and so young
And anything I'd want to say out loud will be sung
It's in the music...
