I saw the 11/18 release date as well posted on another forum. I didn't take it as official since nothing was posted on Underworldlive.com or here. I for one am hoping for a much more significant release for Beaucoup Fish Deluxe. This LP was pivitol for me as it was during this tour I got to see UW play live for the first time. The show at the Santa Monica Civic center is still one of my favourites!

I agree with holden on the Born Slippy disc (although it was welcomed with open arms), it was a little bit too much. There's is so much material & remixes for the Beaucoup period, so I'm hoping the box set will be filled with additional goodies; i.e; Birdstar & D'arbly Street Slow...

And nothing against Underworld...been on their side since 2000. But hey, let's do the BF boxset right!

I figured it was a bit much to release a new album and Beaucoup Fish super deluxe set all in one year. So I figure it is probably just delayed until next year. There was zero mention, so it makes sense. Perhaps they want to make sure it is special.

I guess the release of the Beaucoup Fish deluxe set and the gigs in March are gonna coincide.

Makes you wonder where the November 18th date came from, and how it got out as far as Amazon!

To be released in a week?? We'll see about that...

Edit: It is of note that the catalog number is UWR 73. The Ova Nova single is UWR 82. Also the other re-releases weren't released on the UW label, but on universal music instead. I wonder why the delay of BF, too close to BB? Maybe too close to STitI, which already was a little underwhelming as a release as compared to DNBWMHM? More work to be done on it?

Hmm, I'll believe that when I see it. It doesn't seem to have turned up anywhere else.

I follow the man who did the mastering for the Dubno and Second Toughest vinyl remasters, Miles Showell, on Twitter. Someone asked him about possible future Underworld vinyl. He tweeted this out a few days ago.

"Beaucoup Fish is done should be available soon. Have U ordered a copy of the T2 "Slow Slippy" 1/2 speed 12" 45? Available from UW's website."

If there is any Underworld album that could really benefit from a remaster it is Beacoup Fish. I love this album, and it was the first I heard by them but I always felt the production was a little muddy sounding in places. The songs are really strong and I hope Rick gives the album some love as it deserves it. Perhaps the delay in release is a good sign.

I'm also really looking forward to some of the rare / unheard tracks from around this time
