Bought my box set last night for a robust $115 in the US. Very excited by the promo and the hope that comes with a new release. What makes it better, in theory, for me is the 11 tracks, plus 11 extended mixes/versions of them. I think about how tight the 4 minute version of TPK is and then how glorious the full version is, and can only hope we are getting serious extended versions. Plus, one can hope for one of the 200 signed boxes....  Additionally, does anyone else think the teaser is Singularity? I listened to the live version again against the teaser and think it is. Or is it just me?

Don't really have a problem with the title. I don't mind it. Peter Saville really blew it in 2001 with Smiths-like packaging of Get Ready and the singles. This one reminds me of the Windows-95 Paintbrush: we used to doodle such things out of boredom. I know that point is ridiculous but still, really?? Once a design professor of a University from Rio de Janeiro who is a big Saville's fan explained in a forum the "possible message" behind the artwork of "Get Ready". It was something like "the image (and even the band) doesn't matters, just pay attention to the music". There's some elements in the artwork that suggests this. We have a top model on the front cover (Nicolette Krebitz), but she got an anti-glamorous / anti-fashioned style and ruined clothes; she's also filming instead to be filmed / photographed as usual for a model; and there's no band's name or identification, just a red bar. Conceptually nothing to do with Smiths really. Correcto, Aracri.....I recalled reading somewhere that Peter Saville explained the idea behind the GR artwork - that New Order fans have a unique way of identifying the band's items, almost like having their own language.... therefore by having no words on the album cover, instead inserting a red bar or green bar is effective enough to reach out to the fans. By the way Nicolette Krebitz is def not a 60s or 70s icon, so no way Saville's taking any cues from The Smiths cover art....  |

Thank you for that. I know that's usually the way companies such as Amazon etc work but I was a bit unsure with this one. I wanted a bit of flexibility seeing as the release is still 3 months away. I'm going to order it now then because I would love to be lucky enough to get a signed copy so there's no point ordering it from anywhere else. I note some places such as Rough Trade are advertising the vinyl box set but there's no price listed on that specific item yet, whereas there is with all other formats? It will be interesting to see.

Oh Lord. I just read this with regards to the deluxe box set: "All orders receive Music Complete HD and MP3 digital files on the official release date 25th September. THE ACTUAL BOX SET WILL DISPATCH EARLY NOVEMBER. Instant grat download of first single available in August. Please note: Price does not include postage and packing." So this makes it over 4 months away now. And if the first single's dropping in August, I suppose they're going to be taking money from us before this? I've ordered it anyway. Interestingly, I selected courier delivery at £4.70 and I was only charged £3.95. Bargain! Edit: And yes, they took the money straight from my account, which I'm now slightly narked about seeing as I won't be seeing anything for my money for a while.

On a serious note, I hope the long delay has meant Barney has afforded some time to write some better lyrics other than the "hey now man, where you been, see that stray dog on the floor, blah blah blah".
I know its part of the charm (yawn), its not his forte (yawn), its all about the music (yawn) etc but a bit of variety on word play would be appreciated.

I ordered the cd and they billed me right away.
I decided to wait until the 25th and find out from you people's if they let you download the extended versions. And if they do, I will order the box set then.

I note today that the details of the box set are no longer showing on Rough Trade. Just the CD and black vinyl/clear vinyl versions. According to Mute...
"The box will be limited, but it is still in development stage.
We are hoping the box set will ship a lot earlier, unfortunately, due to the current problems getting vinyl manufactured, we just couldn’t guarantee it being ready earlier.
You will get the album on release date digitally."
Better get those orders in. Not sure how many are going to be produced. I suspect they are currently gauging interest. Hopefully it will ship sooner than expected.

So could be hearing something in a few weeks time

Two of my all-time favourites! When I was 16 I wanted to be Jack Dee...

Quite honestly I'm just chuffed there's a proper release date. I've always been wary of the band's notriously vague interviews - gimme an actual date and I might wake up. New albums from NO AND PIL in the same month? That's like my grandmother's old chair. it ROCKS.

In case anyone cares, Mute Bank also has the standard versions of the new album up for pre-order. For the Mute collector nerds here, the catalog number will be STUMM 390. -Mike
