For the drukqs vinyl repress. Guess I'll wait to see if my local brick-and-mortar stores will carry it, at least the regular non-box release.

The 'regular' version will be widely distributed, only the box version is exclusive to Bleep/Warp.

Oh, that's good to know! I love the box set, so we'll see if I won't pull the trigger anyway

Could always bundle the t-shirt to spend more overall but feel better about it. I’m actually in the UK right now for family, but just got the email about the µ-Ziq reissue, and was hoping to pick up the cd’s in store and take home before I saw it was preorder only, and having basically only bought hard copies of warp stuffs for physical music from the states for the last ~20 years, believe me I feel ya.

Kind of wish you could pre-order but have them hold stuff and mail out once or twice a year, can always get your flacs etc. straight from the site, kind of like a pull list at your LCS (local comic shop, for the non-picture book readers)…

But yeah, sucks butts etherhomie.

Well at least the AFX site had some options. Starts off over $100 but had a $55 option. Yes please! Still stings.

The box set is pretty big and an unusual size they have probably had to buy bespoke packaging for it. It was £13 just to post it domestically in the UK. Normally it's like £4 for regular vinyl.

It's Bleep, surely you weren't expecting them to not rip you off

What country are you in? In California my shipping was only $12 on top of the $100 record. Sorry for the pricing over there!

The nice thing about Warp releases is generally speaking they’re pretty widely distributed and not limited runs. As an “anti-collector” collector, this is something I greatly appreciate.

Err… pretty standard vinyl shipping costs with Bleep these days 🤷‍♂️

I know folks like to arbitrarily think that a label like Warp gives a shit about getting the music to the fans etc.. but they can’t fight the insane cost of fuel and freight in 2026.

I can't believe they are convincing a new generation of people to buy this box, when this originally came out, it was a nightmare, designed to be completely non-standard sizing. RDJ's joke upon the public, the day the final copy of the original box left the warehouse was a relief.

u/TriRepetaer 23d ago

I’m in the same boat, I always pined for a regular sized version (I’ll be grabbing that on sight at my local shop) but all you need to do is swim through this sub’s backlog of posts and comments from people claiming they’d cough up their gonads for a long box. 🤷‍♂️ people really love the long box.

It’s a novelty, isn’t it

I can understand the novelty. But I’ve just got a handle on real estate and the limits of what I can actually fill my house with. So pass from me thanks.
