£12 is my maximum. Off to Berwick Street at lunchtime.

Another thing I'm finding funny about this: I specifically didn't buy all these EPs, even at the peak of my Stereolab fandom -- I remember hearing most of it, but the Switched On volumes had pretty much trained me to wait on purchasing. This should theoretically be the big payoff moment on a whole lot of late-90s telling-myself-I'll-own-"Pinball"-soon-enough -- and while it isn't, not entirely, I'm happy not to have those EPs on the shelf to give me mixed emotions about owning this one.

Yep, I did that already. I don't know about "millions" though. Maybe thousands.

(If you do Google Oscillations From The Anti-Sun you get 19 hits*, including the BBC and Drag City. Buffoons! * - now 20.)

I listened to disc one last night and thought to myself that I could do without some of the lengthier B-sides. So I'm glad it was cheap.
Also I am increasingly intolerant of flat singing.
I don't know what happened to my love of things my brother-in-law says, 'sound bad on purpose'.
I am surprised by joy to find that the box contains STICKERS of all the original record covers. I'm going to have the hippest kagoule in Berkshire. Mate.

and what would a b-sides collection be without the b-sides?

Got 99 Fall Tracks But "Winter" ain't one.

Also, are there any in-store places that are selling it for cheaper than $23? I saw it for that at Best Buy, but I haven't gone anywhere else yet.

Quote of the day! You've just made me embarrass myself in a deathly quiet office.
I've got a dull promo copy but might have to buy the real t'ing just for the stickers innit.

Yes, I suppose I could find out for myself. Fair point.
I was wrong to diss the B-sides, except for Fruition.
I know more of this stuff than I thought I would.

I have more difficulty getting certain DVDs off their platform (or some CDs even.. like the AC/DC remasters) more than I can open this box.
― donut debonair (donut), Tuesday, 3 May 2005 05:31 (nineteen years ago) link
packaging is nice (and not hard to open at all, as long as you have fingers). dvd titles / menu nice too.

this is quite a gift to fans i think. i'm not a huge stereolab fan (i have ETK and D&L), but i bought this without thinking twice about it.

As for the packaging, my biggest worry is that the discs will fall out and roll away down a hill.
