Wishlist - Beaucoup fish deluxe boxset

[purlieu]

Pretty much confirming this, a newsletter about the Dogboy dates went out earlier. If this was going to be coming in three weeks they'd definitely have mentioned in there. Wonder what happened...

Who knows what happened...but, I'm also okay with the delay. The Dubno box was special because it was 20 years on and saw R &K back on tour to revisit their past and reignite the creative process. For me, the STITI deluxe set was a little less special, for one because it wasn't the 20 yr anniversary, so its release felt rushed; two, it's actually not my favorite UW album, and the whole disc of Born Slippy was a bit much ( though the outtakes are great). Beacoup Fish is my favorite record and I eagerly await the arrival of the box set, but I'd prefer it with a little fanfare, not diluted by the remaining tour dates and Dogboy release.

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!

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!

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.
