Finally received an email today saying the Special Edition Boxset order is being shipped to me. My tracking info says it's supposed to get to me by Friday. Hope everyone else got the same news.

Just received it this morning here in Denmark, I got no 74 (the year I was born ;) ). But the number is a bit blurry. Looks wonderful, though, will open it later today....

No 59 just arriived here made my day !
23b test pressing is single sided number 59 out of 400 so I guess that's the total number of special editions.
Karl's sig has something else underneath M16 I think dunno..
Nice package cd isn't in the digipack I though the signed ones on sale at the roundhouse may be extras from this but it seems not as the cd is set into an lp sized card.
Nice book n prints I'm off to download the 24 bit version now......:)

I think that's "K H 2016"

You can see, in this one (that I own), he signed "K H 2015":

Karl signs stuff like an artist would a painting or any other piece of art.

That box set is lovely!

The SE arrived today, number 40, really like the attention to detail of the set, and that 23b is there as a test pressing disc (proper record, not a CD) - just need a turntable now ��

Really quite special and worth the wait for the prints, book and vinyl

158/400 arrived in Dallas! And watching them live from Brussels right now. This special edition is really great - glad I shelled out the $$$ for it. Tomato have outdone themselves on the book.

Does the special edition download have 23b included? Or do I need to buy it elsewhere online? Haven't opened mine yet. #50

So, is yours signed or not?

Mine is n°55. Box in perfect condition.
The size is just bigger than the DNBWMHM and STITI boxes, it doesn't fit in my perfectly sized vinyl shelve.

The book is lovely, as is the packaging in general. The prints are nice too. A bit disappointed though that the LP is a single vinyl as I was hoping to be able to DJ a couple of the tracks, but the pressing will be quite quiet with 3 or 4 tracks per side.

Also disappointed there's no download of Twenty Three Blue with package. The test pressing is a lovely thing but now I have to either go VPN, Japanese CD, or illegal download to get the track at full quality. It even gets a page in the book of its own so it's strange for it not to be included in the package.

Still very happy with the purchase, but those let downs niggled. :)

No, it was not signed, which I knew beforehand that it wouldn't be. No big deal, I have their signatures on other prints and the Karl original I have.

I got #83! Surprisingly, the prints have names (on the sleeve not on the actual prints) and my sister's not so common name was one of them ( Niniveh....although my sister has a letter T before the H )

I received mine here in Arizona on Friday the 1st..... #94. The packaging and the quality are top nothch.... Excellent book and prints. It feels like it all goes well with the songs. I the wasn't expecting an hi-resolution download card to be included.

-ps- pleasantly surprised that it was able to get to me from Wednesday in the UK to Arizona in a little over 2 days.

That's what you get for £60 for shipping!

I ordered my SE a little late, therefore wasn't expecting a number anyway. Does anyone know how many were made in total? I know they sold out shortly after release. I'm sure this will turn out to be more collectable than Barking SE, not that I will ever sell it. Thanks.

Looks like 400 were made because the 'Twenty Three Blue' test pressing vinyl included in the special edition is numbered as xxx/400'.

The 24 bit download sounds amazing on headphones but the U.K version does not include 23B the japanese one does though.

I'm a little bit upset that they don't appear to have been picked in the order that the orders were received. I got #81

I must have a real rarity. It has no number on test pressing or anywhere else. Maybe it's because it was delayed twice. Ordered it in december but received it 10 days after release date. I also live in Manchester , close to the lancashire address it came from.

Your box has the right font on it?

Right font? What? Who?

The text on your box is in the same slab serif font as all the other new stuff, just like the picture in the Underworld shop (but the text is a lot smaller on yours)

On my box (and all the other ones people have posted pictures of) it's in a crappy looking san-serif font.

So it looks like there are actually 3 different boxes out there.

I'd bet 81 sounds a lot like 1 and 400. Dogtags, anyone?

I hadn't noticed until you mentioned it but yeah, I see now that mine is different from the others posted here. Huh.
