    1. Edsel seem to like giving release dates for stuff and then changing it at the last minute those Catatonia reissues have had their release dates changed about 3 or 4 times now.

  3. I’ll be surprised if there are many takers for seven discs’ worth of Farm material; for me at least, their essential recordings could all sit comfortably on a single disc, notably stalwarts ‘Hearts And Minds’, ‘Family Of Man’ and ‘Same Old Story’, singles ‘Groovy Train’ and ‘All Together Now’ and the classic reworking of ‘Stepping Stone’. Bizarrely, despite the capacity offered by seven discs, this so-called ‘complete’ studio recordings apparently has insufficient space for the original Terry Farley 7″ (3:20) and 12″ (6:30) Ghost Dance Mixes and Gary Allen’s mix (7.05) of ‘Stepping Stone’; instead, we are merely presented with the later Matrix Mix (5:00).

  4. Remember the free 12″ with Spartacus? Supposed to limited but was around for ages. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a vinyl copy without it.

  5. As someone who had a couple of The Farm`s albums and gave them away, why? I do not know, I welcome this box set. As you will have gathered I`m not a Farm completist so I reckon this set is fantastic value and it looks great.
