Select Ambient Works II Expanded Edition

Does the boxset come with 3xcd or single cd? Seems a bit overpriced but I suppose I'll bite anyways

It should come with a t shirt as well for this price

Looks to me this is the only track that's not  already available in his shop. (it's not on the regular SAWII) Other than that: all the tracks remastered? Doesn't look like it, given the text.

(forgive me for not being bothered with the new shiny physical stuff. looks nice and all. But i can look at it by using google. not interested having the physical products)

Beautiful track!

this needed it’s own thread for sure 

The leakers it appears had it spot on, they must have been from Warp, why didn't they just leak it on their official channels?  

I suppose maybe that's a bit of a retardical question when they had the freaks like me in a frenzy the last day or two

Quite like the white t-shirt. Was gonna buy a green BOC t-shirt and Bleep wanted £6 to deliver it. Seemed a bit steep imo. Anyway whatever. Not interested in the physical stuff. Got the original vinyl and cd, Spotify, extra tracks got via watmm downloads and YouTube. All bases covered. Looks like it's just a t-shirt then. Though probably won't get it. I'll step back from the feeding frenzy

I retract my "not interested in the physical stuff". I looked at the pics and bought the entire thing. Couldn't help it. I'm weak... sorry environment.

I want the black shirt but with shipping it's 40€ + brexit so... fuck it...

What is the white yoke in the boxset? Is it a cd with bonus tracks to you reckon, it looks like it's about that size

Done

Not just Brexit mate. I think £8 to send an untracked t-shirt, standard mail within the UK is ridiculous. 

Why is it anyone that are talking about quality of the pressings, if it is remastered versions? etc..

It doesn't cost that. Anything in the UK up to 2kg costs about a fiver, max. A T-shirt will probably go as a large letter too, which would cost about 2 quid.

It's just bleep gauging on shipping costs, as usual. By far the most expensive record store for shipping.

Oh and Matt Colton remastered this, so it should sound great. One of the best mastering engineers.

Is Beau doing the new vinyl mastering do you know?

Had to preorder a shirt 

The vinyl bundles seem to be unavailable now, I assume that they've realised they made an arse of that, it was cheaper for delivery on the 4lp and tshirt separately that the bundle delivery cost

Yep, fuck Blerp, preordered the 4LP in Germany to avoid brexit taxes and retarded shipping fees.

vinyl, cassette, shirt combo. materialism. 

Hey chaps let's all step away from the bloodbath. It's a beautiful summers evening and let's think about the complete version of Selected Ambient Works Volume 2. With Stone In Focus this is easy the greatest ambient album ever made. 
 

I stepped out into the back garden and took this simple Point and Shoot picture of a pale June moon just above my shed. Faintly glowing distantly in space upon a pastel blue dusk. With Stone In Focus whorling in my mind on my headphones. 
 

In Aphex I Trust. Bleep postage rates not so much

anti-fomo defense systems engaged

ah, what a beautiful album.  I'm sure a lot of fans have been waiting for a fresh pressing of this classic.  I'm looking forward to some new aphex this year.  

Too much to justify impulse buy

One of my favorite albums, but lol at the price. I'll just the digitals. I got the original on CD anyway.

The collector in me wouldn't mind getting the oak box, but with VAT on top the total price would be close to 500 €, which is insane, even by my standards. I'll probably get the regular vinyl w/ digital, but I don't think I'll ever listen to it on vinyl - I think I have listened to the OG brown vinyl copy I have just once, and it's been on the shelf for 30 years after that. My OG 2xCD still works, too. The "extra" tracks are firmly in the meh category for me.

Where did you get it from? (Edit: it became available in a store I predominantly use for vinyl purchases.)
