We've been done up like a kipper, lads.

Just had an email from Amazon telling me my Avant Garde box set has been dispatched and is due to arrive Jan 5th.

UPS delivered my parcel early, while I was down south for Christmas, so yesterday I had to collect it from a newsagent in Govan. My heart sank when I saw the packing note - Between Here & Lost (10th Anniversary Edition) Love And Death Audio CD - then rose when I saw the yellow Deutsche Grammophon logo peeking out - success! A mint condition Avantgarde series box set still in its shrink-wrap. I savoured the unseemly elation of a really good score - and hope others who ordered experience the same.
Didn't know this until I read the sleeve notes: "Three Stockhausen albums, which were part of the original Avantgarde series, have not been included in this edition as we respect the preference of the Stockhausen estate to abstain from such re-release." Huh, what a rip-off :-)

Sorry to hear this. I can only think I got my order in slightly ahead of yours - or was lucky enough to land a sympathetic picking+packing elf.

I was thankfully able to order it when sales were first announced last fall

Me too, ordered it as soon as it was announced and had no problems receiving it.

Yes well done but you weren’t trying to get it for twenty quid on Amazon
― Ward Fowler, Saturday, 20 January 2024 10:07 (eight months ago) link
Bingo
