I had two TMC boxsets - the 1993 long-box version with the fourth disc of originals, and that 2011 remaster with the "Dust & Guitars" rarities disc. I sold the latter (after ripping it - though God knows where those WAVs ended up, they're not on any hard drive), and for a lot less than $150 :( I've still got the former.

box set sold out supposedly.

Amazon still has copies, better be quick though if you want one.

good idea. it's cheaper to order it directly from the UK anyway, turns out.
― erry red flag (f. hazel), Wednesday, 16 December 2015 16:21 (eight years ago) link
Looks like ilxors have snapped up all the remaining copies on Amazon UK following my tip-off. Says there'll be more in stock on Dec 20, but I wouldn't trust that.

blimey. glad i ordered mine when i did.4ad love their (very) limited run boxsets.

Mine was dispatched recently, I was getting worried but I hope it will arrive soon.

I originally ordered through the Lush Sandbag store, payment was taken via Paypal but order was never processed. I'm glad I followed it up now or I'd be sitting waiting for something that'd never arrive! When they refunded me I ordered it from Norman Records instead and it is on its way.
― michaellambert, Wednesday, 16 December 2015 20:35 (eight years ago) link
I ordered mine from the sandbag store the day it went on sale and got it yesterday. Couldn't be happier with it!

You wanna know what happened to Lush?
Do you really wanna know?
Well,
I never stopped loving Lush completely.
That's what happened to them.

Back in stock at 4ad.com today, apparently.
― eifion, Thursday, 17 December 2015 15:51 (eight years ago) link
So glad I got mine. Very nice package but I'd really prefer a regular box set with a big booklet that they could easier produce more of, so everyone could get it.
― Robert Adam Gilmour, Friday, 25 December 2015 21:52 (eight years ago) link
Are they going to reissue the albums individually? Do they sound different? Remastering 90s music sounds... dangerous
― lute bro (brimstead), Saturday, 26 December 2015 23:11 (eight years ago) link
I've not done any comparisons but they don't sound particularly remastered to me.

Singles Jukebox isn't exactly a hotbed of shoegaze opinions.

Good timing cos I'm working in London that day!

― Chewshabadoo, Friday, 1 April 2016 10:01 (eight years ago) link
Yeah it nearly did for me as well tbh, but it has been almost 20 years since I last saw them and it's a small venue, no dealing with Roundhouse crowds.
― Just noise and screaming and no musical value at all. (Colonel Poo), Friday, 1 April 2016 10:03 (eight years ago) link
So this is tonight! No support band, on stage at 8:30.
I only saw Lush twice and both times it was during the Britpop years, just slightly too young to see them in the early 90s, apparently their setlist will be drawing heavily from the early stuff on this tour, much like Ride I guess.
― Just noise and screaming and no musical value at all. (Colonel Poo), Monday, 11 April 2016 13:17 (eight years ago) link
Enjoy. I'm glad they'll be focusing on the earlier stuff (as I was with Ride) as I didn't listen to much they did after Spooky.
― Lionel Richie the Wardrobe (Nasty, Brutish & Short), Monday, 11 April 2016 13:43 (eight years ago) link
i know Split is considered to be a lost classic but they hated making it. i'm guessing setlists would pretty much resemble the Ciao 'Best Of' but i'd be happy if it was mostly pre-Split tbh. now i just have to avoid seeing the setlists for another 6 months after they shifted the Manchester date around from May to November.
