I ordered my stuff from the US store. Haven’t received any emails yet, though I wasn’t expecting any until the official release date. I’m curious if it will ship quicker than when I’ve ordered from the UK store.

OOh I see that they did exactly the same I did few years ago, after the HD release of the movie. That is not the actual old video, but a re-creation of it using the newly mastered movie footage. You can be sure of that because there are a few shots on the original video that are not included on the movie, so they replaced that shots with actual movie footage. Surprisingly they choosed the same moments I choose to do the replacements!!! the result is 99.9% identical to what I did!

Received notice today that my local mail order company that my order has been sent. I'd like to have it tomorrow but unfortunately I will probably have to wait until next week. It's going to be along weekend. Fortunately I went to a local second hand store and got myself a few old CDs, amongst them a triple disc collection of 80's hits. Really good tunes but no PSB stuff and that's usually the rule. I've had and seen lots of 80's collections but they almost never contain any PSB stuff. Howcome?

SO jealous. Couldn't afford all of it.

Oh dear. I ordered the white vinyl boxset from the site back in early April. I remember doing it. I even remember getting the confirmation that I had ordered it. Now I can’t log into the site (it won’t send the password change email), I can’t see any email confirmations, and nothing has come out of my bank account. Don’t know what’s going on. Thankfully, the hoodie and print I ordered have been despatched. Looks like I’ll be ordering the very plain and boring black vinyl set from Amazon instead. Oh well.

Can anyone who has already received their sets confirm that the correct single versions of Heart and I Wouldn't Normally have been included..?

Yes, they are the correct versions! It sounds gorgeous. I quite like the packaging. It's a bit surprising.

Love the CDs! To me, because of the chronological sequencing, it's a far better listening experience than PopArt! (I haven't listened to the third CD yet.)

I am so delighted by this release!

Slight disappointment. Neil will be mad!! On the bluray, it's the american censored version of Being Boring.

But I think we can demand Parlophone to do something about it and replace the disc.
