Universal probably didn't make anywhere near enough of the deluxe versions. From what I have read on this site and the problems people have ordering from Universal, I will be ordering mine from Amazon, as their service is so much better. So if I do decide to get the super deluxe version, I will order it from Amazon's German site.

Though I'm not that bothered about demos, just want to hear the end versions, so may just get the plain old deluxe version and save myself lots of money.

These record companies sure know how to milk artists fan for as much money as they can, by issuing so many versions.

I just can't understand after all the fuck ups Universal has done in the past (see my story about Crises and FMO) that people still order from them.

I've done my last shopping at Universal's store, even if it means that I miss the blue vinyl edition.

Nothing, I suppose.

Indeed, they're the exact same thing. It seems it's exclusive to the Universal store in the UK (though they've now removed the "Exclusive To The Official Store" message from the store page for it) and available from any retailer in the rest of the world.

What? Universal has screwed something up and/or lied again? Now, I never.... :)

I suppose technically it was exclusive whilst they were the only ones selling it… and now they aren't.

I know.... and sadly I missed the boat.  

Look out for inflated price copies appearing on Ebay if you're dead keen.  A couple are there already.

Iam curious, if the box sets from the German ebay or amazon would have those stickers glued on the front cover, as was with the Crises boxes. They are much cheaper then the UK offers, but i wont to get extra sticker!

Not surprising as it's limited to just 750 copies.

Good luck! I wouldn't trust Universal farther than I can throw them.

Looks like Universal have upped their game - or fired the last lot of incompetent idiots.

My boxed set is playing as I type - still getting my head around a song album, and teh West Coast/Radio 2/MOR vibe. Some great solo's.

The answer is 42 - but what is the question?

How about the demos? Is it worth getting this box set for them? How the songs sounds with Mike's vocals?

My boxset just arrived today, and I only got the e-mail saying that it had been sent yesterday.

Have only listened to the main album and a couple of the demos so far - my first reaction was that it's fun to hear that guy from Heaven's Open and Supernova singing again :)

So if Universal only made 750 copies of the Box set it's not surprising it has sold out!
Is there any chance that the folks at Universal can get their act together and issue some more copies of the box set?
