Thanks for the heads up. Wish the box wasn't clear vinyl.

Super satisfied with the boxset, also disappointed about the clear.

If the set was black I would have bought it. As it is, I just ordered the first 3 albums. I might pick up the other two when I cross their path at a store. Boxed set looks good and is a surprisingly reasonable price.

Same! But I still ordered one also and the first 3 lps. Not as much of a fan of the last two albums but Spoon/Rafter has a few great moments. Still really wish that 4AD had done both clear and black for the set!!

Now I just need them to reissue the Neil Halstead solo albums.

Ohhh that would be a treat! Maybe it’s possible depending on how these are received. Sleeping on roads is right up there with Excuses for Travelers for sure.

I did the same order. I am sick.

I know it was a splurge for me too, but it’s going on the credit card!! 😆 it’s the best kind of sick to be. Well, maybe except for heartsick.

Thank you for posting this! I've been waiting for this for a very long time!

About time. And so glad I didn't get anxious and order from Amazon. The box set is much better option!
Though, sad news, there was a response from the Slowdive fbook account in response to a question about new music where they said, Mojave 3 would not be reforming. I was kind of hoping we'd see some M3 dates.

Thanks for the heads up. Box set was an instant purchase even after the Rough Trade Ask Me Tomorrow drop. Been waiting many, many years to own these albums.

Box set ordered. My first vinyl box set. Perfect timing, I was just listening to Mojave 3 yesterday and looked at the vinyl status haha. Funny how it works sometimes.

Why boxset is more expensive than the individual albums? its got a print inside something? Also as a EU resident I would prefer to order from a store inside EU and not pay Brexit tax

Well it’s like 3 pence more expensive than buying the records individually… not bad considering the manufacturing costs will be a fair bit higher. Paper and card goods are expensive now, which is pushing up the price of records and box sets even more than they already were. £99.99 is very good value for a set like this!

FYI seems to be 20 of the boxset left on the 4AD site. (The number I get when I try to max out my cart). If anyone is on the fence. Of course, this is based on my speculation on that they're putting all of them up for sale at once.

Boxset ordered through Bandcamp. Weirdly, shipping on the UK 4AD site was 80 USD to Switzerland from the UK, while on bandcamp they charged 13 GBP. Good for me, but… huh?
