Ta - she was very easygoing and willing to chat, not bad for a phone interview. I still have a cassette somewhere I think.

really good that. interesting to read about the songwriting process. i was never sure who wrote what in that band. had no idea Laura was about Laura Nyro nor what Etheriel was about!
― piscesx, Tuesday, 8 December 2015 15:20 (eight years ago) link
Yeah, that was interesting.

I got partway through it. I'm going to have to c&p that into word to read the rest. But I'm glad someone answered that old question about what if Ronald McDonald was a music website.

(The new Firefox has a button that gets rid of graphics, sidebars, stylesheets and just displays the main text in b&w at a nice readable size. It's handy for stuff like this)

there's been a distribution balls-up on the box set front according to the fan twitter. very few copies seem to be knocking about so far, anyone on here got one yet?
― piscesx, Thursday, 10 December 2015 23:02 (eight years ago) link
i got one.
― mark e, Thursday, 10 December 2015 23:11 (eight years ago) link
I bought one yesterday at a slightly higher price but I want this badly. Really hope it arrives soon.

Is "500" from the LP different from "500 (Shake Baby Shake)" from the single?
― Gerald McBoing-Boing, Wednesday, 16 December 2015 00:53 (eight years ago) link
I believe so. Or they should be, anyway.

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.
― Michael Jones, Wednesday, 16 December 2015 13:28 (eight years ago) link
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.
― mark e, Wednesday, 16 December 2015 18:57 (eight years ago) link
Mine was dispatched recently, I was getting worried but I hope it will arrive soon.
― Robert Adam Gilmour, Wednesday, 16 December 2015 19:21 (eight years ago) link
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.
