Re: Dubnobasswithmyheadman: 20th Anniversary 5-CD Deluxe Boxset
Got mine in Colorado on the 8th. So far, I have just stared at the book with a huge grin....heavy listening weekend ahead!
I am fine with the yellow outside box cover and the design of the booklet. If anything, I wish there were more text, stories and history. Obviously, UW is a very visual band, what with the Tomato connection, Karl's paint/photo/design work...cool. But a lot of the book sort of reminds me of the old Book of Jam series. Cool for looking at while listening or as a coffee table book, I guess I just think they could pack more live shots, era photos and historical docs in there?

Other concern...the paper half circles that are envelopes for the discs. Turn your box the wrong way ( or get it through air mail delivery!) And the discs will be loose. And I'm sure to rip these taking the discs out and in.

Still, a very nice collection and a wonderful archive, even if we all have personal preferences for what could have been included. Its what the band made for us, and we are fortunate to have it!
