My Sign of the Times 7inch singles box set just arrived - all nicely sealed and no damage to the exterior case.

Have bought it for collection rather than listening so I've not opened it.

But it rattles a lot... more than I would expect, judging by the list of contents anyway.

A postcard wouldn't /shouldn't rattle that much.

So... anyone else got theirs yet? And anyone opened theirs? Rattle, rattle?

If anyone has any damaged contents, I'm guessing there will be no replacements as it's a limited / numbered print run.

I was just wondering..why there is no talking about this box

....or it is hidden ..somewhere ..

because some people round here should have received it.

I also would like to hear if the buyers are confident with the box set.

(sorry 4 my germish )

i think that there is not much fuss about it cause it is not that interesting besides the nice packaging. On social media though people are bashing each other for buying more than one set

A 12" boxed set would have been more interesting.

Especially with the proposed "Ballad Of Dorothy Parker" 12" included.

agreed. was saddened to find out the box was stuffed with 7 inchers. i have close to zero interest in hearing these! definitely would've bought a 12" set though. a lot more practical to play and the musical contents are far more interesting than truncated versions of my favorite songs.

I have one coming, but no shipping notification yet. Did you get a notification from the Prince Store when your order shipped?

I did. Are you overseas? I suspect Music Today fulfills those orders last, after the US and Canada.

Yep got confirmation last week... and it arrived today... then I got the fed-ex invoice for import and handling.... which basically means that I paid the dollar price but in gbp...

agree with the comments about 12" releases too... or an even better idea would have been 7inch pic discs...

No, I’m in the US and my order still shows as “processing.”

I'm in U.K. My order shipped very late on 14th August. I received an email update and the website reflects the same status. The email has a tracking link.

Them postcards do make a lot of noise. When u get the download card in LP boxsets they really rattle. I understand from a collectors point of view, but isn't it kind of pointless buying this if you only have the one copy and don't intend to open it? I've done that if I buy 2 copies of something though.

I haven;t received any mail yet for the shipping of it. (I'm in Netherlands)

I will never understand why people buy something and leave it in... 'plastic' ?...

which, will schrink after a while, thus damage the goods ... (look it up),

just because it 'might' be worth a bit more after years of 'having it', but (so called) never looked at it, or used it ?! Laughing Out Loud.

-

I understand some peopel loooove to wrap things up, to keep it tidy neat and industrial.

So, my way of enjoying 'stuff' is;

I bought the Prince SDE '1999' (vinyls and cd's)

I thouroughly need to

'feel',

'check'

'smell' it all.

New stuff smells goooood ! But not in plastic.

-

By the way, I will never buy something wrapped in the so called original plastic.

A guy I know buys (new) stuff, uses it (carefully of course), then rewrappes it again in ths same sort of plastic (he has this machine), you can't tell the difference.

What utter crap the internet tries to make you believe, while others make money out of unbelievers.

Must love wrapped so called 'original' stuff to get nicely fooled.

Just sayin'.

all the artwork for the new 'singles' looks bad.

would have been better to just have the album cover as in 87, in a box, with all the singles in peach and black inner sleeves.

I live in LA. According to my tracking history, a shipping label was created on Aug 13. The next update came 5 days later that it was accepted. It says delivery on Aug 26th.

Was perusing ebay and saw these box sets go for $500 and $1300.

I got mine today. It's pretty sweet.

Is that the edit of 'Adore"?

Yep. It's the B-side of The Cross.

The peach vinyl is cool. If only I had a wrecka playa. lol

Damn. I was hoping they had the UK 'small hole' like the Beatles 45 set has:

Can't wait to get them though!!!

I wasn't even aware of the small hole 45. (That's what he said.)

Assuming you're in the UK, did you order yours from Third Man or the Prince Store?

(I ordered from the latter and have only had a shipping email with a tracking number that doesn't seem to be correct.)

I would have loved to purchase, but not in my budget. SOTT SDE $$$ is a great stretch. Anyway, I sold my turntable several years ago.

Nice!

Also ... apparently we went to high school together! (Go Yellow Jackets!)
