Box Set Arrived!
 
Wow, this is absolutely stunning. Seriously well made, beautiful, and well worth the price.

Full marks to UW for the packaging & design, and for getting it through my door before disc 2 hit the p2p networks - a lot of lessons could be learned by the rest of the industry :)

My signed art print is number 454/650.... and if you'll excuse me, I have to go listen to CD2 now!

Confirmation that the alternate versions disc was for us dirts...an extract from the box book is below. Really impressed with the quality of the box set - I kind of feel this box set (including the alternate versions disc) really was 'hand-crafted' for the fans...:)

"Much of the material on Barking took years to become the tracks you've just purchased. You may have heard some of them in one form or another at gigs, on internet radio broadcasts from Lemonworld, maybe even on the Live Here Now series of releases. Judging by what we've read on the Dirty Forums, some of you will prefer them to the actual finished article! This collection is made up of versions of the tracks that eventually made up Barking at certain points in their development. They are neither the first nor the last takes, the best or the worst, the point at which we thought we had a smash, or the point at which we held our heads in our hands. They are'nt even the place at which we handed them over to our wonderful co-producers on the album. What they represent is part of the process and a place where we got really excited about what we were creating. Peace. Rick & Karl

Has anyone in the US got their Box Set yet?!?:confused::confused::confused:

TheBang 09-11-2010 03:19 PM

Re: Box Set Arrived!
 
I don't think so. It sounds like they mailed them yesterday, since all the recipients so far are in the UK. It'll probably take till next week sometime for the U.S., I'd imagine.

sweet mercy, when this arrives in my mailbox, i will be a happier person.

Starting to really love "Barking". With the extra disc of versions and videos, i might just need some personal time to make sense of it all.

Re: Box Set Arrived!
 
Can someone be a pal and take some very nice, non-blurry photos of their box and its components and post them on Flickr or send them to me at andy at dirtyradio.org so we can make a nice bornDirty post about it? Pretty please....

Re: Box Set Arrived!
 
You'd think the 'official fan site' would have 1 connection with underworld who could have provided pics already. Or done something, anything for the forum fanatics who buy anything and everything Underworld related. Suppose we could get some info if Underworld start brewing rum instead of making music.

There is no pleasing some people....in my rush to get some pics up before I headed out for the weekend I had to re-size and post in about 2mins flat. There's me thinking I was doing a good deed.

Recorded delivery should arrive between 9AM and 1PM I believe, mine came at 2 minutes past 9, wasn't expecting it so early.

That's Special Delivery - recorded items can come mid-afternoon with the rest of your post unfortunately :(

Ah, really? That's a pain. Mine came in a Royal Mail van, not with the normal post.

Haven't received mine here in Ireland yet, but hopefully it'll come today or tomorrow.

This is reminding me of waiting for my Sega Mega Drive to arrive. That might have been decades ago but still waiting for a recorded delivery is a painful process. Especially with everyone dribbling and reviewing their own punctual deliveries.

wonder when the US boxes will arrive?

hey, don't let poop-heads get you down. i really appreciated the photos and it convinced me that i want to buy the box set. thanks for the photos!

Re: Box Set Arrived!
 
FUCK....so there's no UPS or FedEx tracking numbers, no shipping confirmation emails going out, nada. That alone is pissing me off already, and I'll be steaming fucking mad if it doesn't show up this week.....can't believe I paid $72 for this kind of shot in the dark shipping with no confirmation or package tracking whatsoever!:mad:

It is highly frustrating that the OM shop is selling it cheaper than we got it directly from UWLive. That is exactly the wrong business model for bands to use. It should ALWAYS be cheaper to buy direct from the band's website.

No shit it is! "$52 shipped from OM" means that I paid $20 just for a hastily signed tiny art print.:eek::(

yeah, but ordering direct from UW means you're paying shipping from the UK. OM is in the US, so obviously shipping would be much cheaper. i'm in the US and ordered from UW just because I didn't want to miss out, and tiny or not, a tomato print is a tomato print. i wasn't going to miss out on that for anything.
