oh right, I never updated here, sorry. Blank Forms took over the Shadow Ring box project just before Covid, glad to see it will finally emerge.

this really is the year of Lambkin, he turned 50 earlier this summer and we just put this stunner up for preorder last week:

OK "City Lights" is what has finally flipped the switch for me to "get" this band

Okay here we fucking go

Yeah baby

very glad this is happening and while I think this is a good value for all they are offering, $200 is too rich for my blood. Normally I'd assume there would be a scaled-down edition, but I guess Life Review was that.

I may cave eventually. That book is going to be insane

As a huge fan who owns all the records and cds, I can’t really justify buying fir myself. However, it would be a great gift for someone who has yet to drench themselves in their particularly cold and damp vibes. Lighthouse, imo, remains one of the best double albums of all time.

I’m guessing the book isn’t going to be available separately? I don’t necessarily need the whole set as I already have a good bit of their material in various formats but I’d def pay a fraction of 200 dollars for the book.

I may end up paying all of 200 dollars for the whole thing but I really don’t want to do that
