I was going to ask when the U.S.-bound sets would arrive, but I see that no-one knows. Bummer. Guess I'll have to keep watching 30-second Youtube videos.

Re: Box Set Arrived!
 
Mine arrived yesterday (UK)
Bit hectic at home so didnt get much of a chance to admire it but it's a beautiful thing :)
It's bigger than i expected too. Nice box with a slide-off lid. The contents open like a chunky photo album with a booklet with photos etc on the left, and the 3 disks arranged on the right.
i love it :)

i havent even opened the vinyl package yet - lookin forward to tonite...

I just listened to disk 2 and my first impressions are... that i like some of the tracks more than others. I dont think strumpet groove is as good as the live versions - maybe it's a version from before the live shows... i LOVE having a studio version of YDS (but i like Scribble too). Hamburg Hotel Essex is cool - i think i like it more than HH. DJ sounds v much like it's described - Demo Mix.

I will give them all more listens of course. I think i'll end up with a Barking playlist with the main album with a few disk 2 tracks added 8)

thanks underworld - loving the album

Are they really? I've been unable to buy a second boxed set (in fear that my first will be stolen before I get home...) from them. Keep getting an error in checkout, and customer service has given be a deafeningly silent response to my inquiries.

Anyone actually been able to buy from Om?

Yes, I have. No problems.

I have received my Barking boxset via Royal Air Mail from Underworldlive.com. I am in Los Angeles, CA, USA. Naturally, there was no shipping confirmation or communication of any kind! The rest of you should be getting yours very soon, I imagine.

YES! I live in LA as well so that means I'll be checking it out tonight. Thanks for letting us know, can't wait...

I'm in the US and I ordered it for $46.32 after shipping from Amazon UK. OM says on their website that it ships immediately but they told me through email it would ship the week of the 20th (waiting for them to come from the UK?). So whatever I saved a few bucks. I figure they have the same delivery time (mine already shipped from the UK on 9/11).

Re: Box Set Arrived!
 
Yup! Got it :D It's marvelous!

Kinda weird, just a guy in a t-shirt driving a normal car delivered it. No TNT, UPS, just some random guy ;p

It looks really beautiful and very well made. I'm now very tempted to request this for a birthday pressie, although I already have the cd/dvd version.

i'm not sure if this should worry me or not. are they requiring a signature for release? no one is usually home unless they deliver after 17:00 / 5pm. but i can't help but laugh that it was just some random delivery guy. that is pretty funny! ;)

txjaxx 09-17-2010 10:33 AM

Re: Box Set Arrived!
 
Ditto on the signature question. I'm hoping no signature is required so they just leave it in my mail box.
Also patiently awaiting the Ninja Tune XX box and a package from La Foret. I can't handle to anticipation!

Sorry to add insult to injury, but my second boxset arrived today here in Los Angeles, this one ordered from Amazon.co.uk.

Got my boxset today in ATL.
EXTREMELY Impressed. Too much to digest at the mo. totally overwhelming.

Signed PRINT is really cool.

txjaxx 09-17-2010 04:54 PM

Re: Box Set Arrived!
 
Alright! Got mine in Dallas today. I ordered from UWLive, and it looks like my package was shipped on 9/10. My print number is 107/650. I am now satisfied. This thing is awesome!

crank 09-17-2010 05:34 PM

Re: Box Set Arrived!
 
print no. 89 by the way. Did the boys sign yours upside down?

I think yours is the lowest number posted so far here.

Didn't get mine (Phoenix here), but maybe tomorrow. Glad to know it's getting to us stateside.

Nope, mine's signed right side up.
I really only have one tiny, miniscule complaint about this set. I wish I was able to remove the book from the box. It's large format though, so it's not like the UNKLE War Stories ltd edition for example. It's easy to see the details without worrying about creasing the spine. I love the little write-ups for each song with input from Rick and Karl and the collaborators.
All albums should be released like this.
