Metamatic Forums John Foxx John Foxx John Foxx 6 Disc Limited Edition boxset - Cinemascope

Yay - Mrs Birdsong's Christmas present to me arrived Saturday morning

I do hope she hasn't been and bought anything else in the meantime...

Nice to know it's arriving ... are you all placing in under the tree or any spoilers re. packaging, the 'art prints' etc...?

I doubt if I'll even get to touch the packet again. It's already been squirreled away somewhere...

Mine arrived this morning.
In sealed packaging.. Damn.. I'm in two minds whether to open it or not...

It's limited edition, right? Have they all been sold yet?

Im sticking to my word, and have not bought this particular Foxxy offering. Still hope for something along the lines of a two or three* dvd C.O. set one day. I dont see the point in buying a box set of albums thats already available, and some soon to be remastered.

A C.O.2 filmed especially for a three disc set would be a better selling point imo then the early Foxx / Gordon albums again.

Mine arrived this morning.Very nice indeed.

There is quite a lot of new artwork on the covers.

Nation 12 is all new also TCM

Are all of the 6 art cards the same in all boxsets?

Very pleased with the presentation well done Rob & all

Fair enough...

Remind me again which of the albums in Cinemascope is soon to be remastered.

Rob

Yes they are...

Thank-you...

Rob

Just on this release, Rob. Im past the teenager stage of ripping up posters and throwing badges out the draw, after an whole month of fandom.

Im putting this one down to old age, and getting 'C+B' mixed up with 'TPOE' etc. :rolleyes:
Obviously the sound quality on 'C+B' is still relevant, and 'From Trash' is difficult to improve, as least at the present time.

*** SPOILER ALERT ***

Dare I reveal that 4 of the 6 cards are from Cathedral Oceans, 1 is a still from one of the TCMs (Thought Experiment?) and another is a multiple image of the swimmer from Underwater Automobiles?

It is a very nice little package. No sleevenotes though (apart from the tracklistings) so any newcomer will be a little stumped. Perhaps pleasantly so.
