WARNERS/RHINO POGUES BOX SET, 2008

[kgrunt]

This is awesome, my birthday is at the beginning of May…and if it’s latter then there is always father’s day… I just cut and pasted the cover art to be my computers background crossing my fingers that my wife will get the hint...Has anyone in the forum from Canada or stateside ordered from the UK. I never have and wonder if there are problems or extra cost (Customs).

Also - For those of you not in the habit of looking up front, the page has been updated with cover art and blurb.

w00t!

Fantastic job with the artwork so far...early May? Fingers are crossed...

Does anyone know if this will be released in the US, or just the UK? Any idea of where it can be pre-ordered here in the States?

Thank you very much for this posting. Can't wait to get my hands on this little beauty, can hardly contain myself. Bravo Mr. Chevron, a job most certaintly well done.

[Alex]

Seems like the price has gone up...from 29.99 to £42.99 now

[DzM]

FYI - The complete track list including more detail about when/what/where of each track is now at:

http://www.pogues.com/Releases/Disco/BoxSetPage.html

Enjoy

[meowhouse]

That track list looks fantastic. I cannot wait to have that in my hot little hands. I hope it really does come out in May. Holding my breath!

Edit: on the tracks that say "outtake"--is that like an outtake that means the same thing as it does for film? Like, a short little clip that doesn't comprise the whole scene? Or is that an entire song that they messed up on or just didn't use for whatever reason?

The latter.

[meowhouse]

Oh good! Because for a second I thought it might be little tiny clips and while those are okay for TV they're not okay for music!

It really looks great. You all should be very happy and proud of it.

[DownInTheGround]

Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet

I seem to have heard very few of those songs.

[Poram]

It says "The Aria" was recorded circa 1864. That probably isn't correct.

Other than that, this looks wonderful.

There, were you?

Has anyone found a place in the US to pre-order this box set? I didn't find anything on the play.com web site that says they ship to the US. Does anyone know?
