There are some cheap ones out there, and they sound much better than today's hypertechnological players. About the £60 figure: well, I've recently bought the Kraftwerk Catalogue box on eBay for £185 - and as far as I know the lowest price ever mentioned for that (on a book) was £400. So I think that spending £60 for something that's inevitably going to become as rare as that box (which was never officially released, unlike this) is not only fitting, suitable or reasonable - it's perfect. Kraftwerk catalogue box? I thought that was never released? (if we're talking about the same; I did understand there should have been a rerelease of all their albums remastered) -------------- -The mark of a good musician is to play one note and mean it- Mike Oldfield - 1980 Back to top

Ugo Group: Members Posts: 5495 Joined: April 2000 Posted: April 20 2009, 08:26 @ revster: which box set? Kraftwerk's or Mike's? Since Kraftwerk's was never released (see below) I assume you're talking about Mike's. May I have an URL, please? @ Blue Dolphin: indeed it was never officially released. The box I got on eBay is one of the 1000 promotional copies of a box containing, as you say, remastered versions of Kraftwerk's eight EMI albums. It is still to be released officially because the band members are still arguing about it. -------------- Ugo C. - a devoted Amarokian Back to top

gths Group: Members Posts: 26 Joined: April 2009 Posted: April 20 2009, 08:33 Querying whether the 500 just refers to how many have been signed and numbered and sold through the site, and if they're going to do up more than that to be sold through the usual outlets. UKP60, hmm... I'm a bit blase about vinyl, though I did get the Radiohead In Rainbows thing with the vinyl and the extra CD which was about USD50 or however much that was. So UKP60's not toooo bad I guess. Back to top

Blue Dolphin Group: Members Posts: 1232 Joined: Nov. 1999 Posted: April 21 2009, 05:48 Whoa, that's quick. I just looked about an hour ago and the original MikeOldfield.com was still there. Looks very cool and retro though! And a few rare pictures in the gallery, although that 1975 bells picture isn't from the 70's... looks like it was taken in the early 80's judging by Mike's hairdo! Also love the master tapes box pictures! -------------- -The mark of a good musician is to play one note and mean it- Mike Oldfield - 1980 Back to top
