The Shred Room II (with extra youth)

They had a one bundle when I ordered it.

And why have you waited this long?  I pre-ordered and I'm glad I did.

Somone on RYM had it on the 20th... I didn't get it 'til the 22nd.  Hmm...

Anyhow, so far I've added the first 4 (5 volumes) into the database.  I need to scan the actual covers at some point... I don't have a scanner for this laptop, so I'll have to nip upstairs at some point and use my mother's.

So the covers I've used are the ones from the main box (that someone has scanned in for RYM).

I've not played any of it.  I can just look at it and still be in awe.

But this a sad footnote to all this: Lindsay Cooper is just too ill to contribute and her absence from the liner-notes is noticeable.  Poor lass.

Yeah, I really want it. I'll bring it up to my father as soon as he gets home. Hopefully we can work out a plan with it; and I'll have to check how much money I have saved up downstairs. I just have to tell my stingy self that it's something I REALLY want, even if it's hard for me to come by money.

Thankfully, I'm extremely fiscally conservative, so having money saved is good when something like this rolls around.

If I could think of one person to spend their last dime on this...

I got the boxset, plus all the studio albums on CD (I only had MP3 versions previously), for 136 pounds - about $200.  If you only need the boxset, I think it would be about 89 pounds. edit:  89 is only a little over $125, not too bad actually I'm on their website right now. Do you happen to have a link/URL for just the boxset in 1 bundle? I can only find the split versions.

They don't seem to have a 1 bundle link, but just order the two splits.  You want to do this anyway, as you already have Stockholm (right?)

Hi David - your plan sounds awesome. 

It is very quiet today!

This Henry Cow Box set is amazing!  This is going to take me ages to go through... and erm... once last.fm has registered it all, it could well see Henry Cow at the top of my playlist. I also note with interest there's a bar in Milan callled Henry Cow and there's a photo of the sign supplied by Luciano Margorano of La 1919! That's epic. Oh and they've sent me a new case for Stockholm & Goteborg that corrects the information on the original. Plus I have a limited edition of 750 of another CD with my name on it! Well, not on the actual CD, that'd be asking too much... but it has a little certificate type thing.   It says Limited Edition of 1000 but then it says I'm 253/750. Now I'm confused.

So they did get the box out before the end of January.

Nice.  Now it's time to order.

No you don't.

You actually like it.
