jeez, just read through the last few pages of this thread...

here's my opinion...

this album - was and is never going to be available in the 'shops' - it was created to accompany the exhibition - which also had an exclusive catalogue - also only available at the exhibit.

regular CD albums cost £10 / $15 roughly

however its not fair to compare this exclusive package to these prices - and adding postage to the cost does not make the product any more, it is what it is - you live too far away you have to pay the shipping - thats the rules anywhere...whatever you buy... i regularly purchase stuff from the states... its still cheaper if you add the shipping - sometimes ist more but if i want something that I PHYSICALLY CANNOT GET HERE i have to pay for the priviledge

being the former collector of UW items i would have snapped this up regardless of price - its a unique limited edition CD and booklet - which despite what you might think - i believe is probably essential with this purchase (much like the booklet that came with barking)

those of you waiting for the CD without the booklet are not imo getting the full experience of the 'bundle'

some people here are seeing UW as a band who make and sell music in 'hard formats' - they don't - they do much more than that... they are an interactive band who have many projects and outlets

you don't have to buy anything, i don't anymore its too much for me...

that said it doesn't mean i haven't got a 'virtual' copy of this album... i'm still a fan and still want to hear the output, but for me its not about owning a physical item - for many reasons which i've stated previously...

but back in the day £30 would have been a bargain for a super limited edition package...

its available - or was... and only fans will get this beacuse as I opened with its not available anywhere else...

unless you want to wait until is £300 on ebay...
