Friendly Stranger Posted August 23 Share Posted August 23 1 hour ago, silentvision said: Email communicaton from Warp Production of the Selected Ambient Works Volume II limited box sets is well underway. The individual copper plates for the boxes are turning out beautifully, with each one developing a unique patina. We’ll keep you up to date with progress. Looks awesome, what a way to enshrine the album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know, there definitely seems to be a load of people saying that they ordered it (on Reddit in particular, I assume a good number of them are American teenagers telling porkies) I don't think it will be that rare even at such an eye-watering retail price The reason I'm keen to see what happens is because I haven't a clue, I can't remember the hullabaloo like this for the Syro Ltd edition at all, my memory is shit but I think that one just went over my head completely unnoticed which is unusual for me as I'm collecting Afx vinyl since the 90s Some fuckwit paid close to 500 on ebay for that Barcelona 10" before the 2 tracks were even leaked, I know this is different, there's a separate edition with the 'new' tracks for a more reasonable price and everybody knows the new tracks on it and most importantly as you said this one was available to everyone unlike the exclusive gig releases but Im sure theres a few crazies with fat pockets that missed it for whatever reason who will fork out for this, effectively for the packaging I'd have thought some mad cunt in a world of many will pay more for this, I could be wrong (I too often am) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
