Don't get me wrong, it is a great album...but my god.

Just in case you guys haven't seen, DGM Live posted a full tracklist for the mega-box on their website. Looks like the only exclusives to the box are the live shows and the vinyl transfers; almost everything else will be on the DVD included with the standard CD/DVD set (you can get the 2CD edition if you really want the radio ads and promo EP but don't want the box)

I already have the cd.

I'm certainly not planning on pulling the trigger for the box but I am very interested in a dvd of the beat club show. If dgm wants to make some money off me, they would release it separately.

A first look at the box set.

[Doctor Flang]

Stunning.

[SunshipVoyager]

And already close to sold out? Damn.

[Olorin]

Well, the official site, DGM, is sold out. Other retailers like Amazon may still be able to fill orders.

I'm still on the fence about this one. If money were no object, I'd get it, but I've had an expensive month with weekend trips and whatnot. I guess I better not deliberate too long....

[geofmcm]

I ordered mine on Saturday morning from Burningshed so they must still have a few.

[tommyhawk]

It's sold out?!? That's impressive! The fans of the Mighty Crim have delivered.

[geofmcm]

Just got email, mine has been posted

whooo!

[Olorin]

Amazon US sold out shortly after I posted that they had it.

[geofmcm]

Mine's just arrived, now for a few hours crimming.

[Meng]

Mine too.

[geofmcm]

Just listened to the 5.1 mix of easy money.

It's so empty the space and yet there is so much in there I've never heard before.

Well done Steve Wilson.

Heh, funny. I checked my (actual) mailbox less than an hour ago to find Jon Ronson's latest had arrived from Amazon, then checked my e-mail when I got in. Then I browsed the Yesfans forum and was devastated with jealousy from reading the latest posts in this thread. I quickly checked my e-mail again to see what the latest update from Amazon - which was a delay notification regarding the box set - had actually said. Only to find I'd just recieved a message telling me it has dispatched. Wooo, and indeed, hoo! This is the biggest splash-out I've done on a single purchase in a long time, so it's turn-off-the-phone, stock-up-on-everything time when my package finally arrives. Which should hopefully be this week. In the meantime - enjoy yours, guys! And feel free to post detailed reviews.

[Meng]

I'm waiting for the right time to listen to the 5.1.

Very interested to see if the bass distortion on Exiles is gone.

[Doctor Flang]

My copy is still on it's way. I guess it will arrive on Friday.

Gentlemen, reviews please.

[Meng]

I've just finished watching the Beat Club session. Fan-bloody-tastic, despite Beat Club's fondness for the psychedelic experience.

To have all of this footage rather than just the bit of Larks' Tongues Pt. 1 that was aired at the time makes the delay from the original release date absolutely worth it.

I swear at one point Muir picked up a trombone and just carried it around his percussion area without actually playing it!

And what a rhythm section Wetton and Bruford were - both in their perfect environment here.

Terrific stuff.

[geofmcm]

I've listened to the Hull but I can't hear myself, so I guess the taper was not near me. One thing I remeber was that we were all sat on the floor of the hall for this concert, can't remeber why? I also remember Muir flying around like a madman hitting everything but in a constructive way. Agree the beat club stuff is fantastic and it was really good to remind myself that as well as a mad percussionist, Mr Muir was quite a decent drummer as well.

[Meng]

Did you get the blood capsule??

We got it at Bristol - I think during Easy Money.
