Placebo / A Place For Us To Dream / Double CD retrospective and vinyl box

Does anyone know if the 4LP on Amazon.ca is pink vinyl? Or black? Read conflicting things saying black is only in the UK so wanted to check before ordering. Had no reply from Amazon themselves.

Great track listing although would of been nice to add the track twenty years just to top it off apart from that looks great

20 Years Too Many of Placebo

Apparently the black vinyl is only available in the UK?

An attractive collection with a few curious omissions:
Burger Queen Français
Twenty Years
The Never Ending Why
…all singles that seem to be missing while album tracks and b-sides are included instead.

Have seen Placebo live once or twice, and Grab most of their realeses. Would love the BOXset, but at this stage, will hold off and will no doubt get the CD set. Talk Talk, are one of my fav groups, and yeap there are a few, so to have Placebo cover Talk Talk…………..well, I have ordered the e.p. no questions asked. THANKS Paul, for the headsup, as yet still nothing from the Placebo wesbite, even though on their mailing list!!!!!!!

This is a great retrospective. I’ve plumped for the pink vinyl box set and green vinyl EP.

That lp cover is simply tired, empty posturing; fake rebellion with no link to Placebo’s music.

The cover was taking after a riot in Vancouver after the Boston Bruins eliminated the Vancouver Canucks in the Stanley Cup. Im from Boston and watched two of the games, in Boston, and the riot surprised me- all this anger of nothing.

looks good. like that single edits are there. never really a fan of new-er versions of songs etc.
just prefer originals on compilations like this. long-time fan. saw supporting suede first time/am in ‘Every You Every Me vid ;)

I love the album cover……

Looks like a good retrospective, but I have to agree that the cover is kind of inappropriate and melodramatic for such an angsty band. Their stock (and quality) has fallen since the last collection, so a bit puzzling that they would only put one new track on the collection and save the other new ones for a separate EP, as clearly they’re not going for a succinct set here…

The cover shot was taken during the Vancouver riots back in 2011.

Fair play to them for including single edits.

The cover is hilarious. And inappropriate.

My wife is a huge fan so I went to order the “deluxe” set which comes in either pink or black. The black is only available in the UK store and there is no shipping option to Canada (or the USA). Why would they limit the black to “not North America”? Seems strange.

Eventually someone was going to use that photo for an album cover. I kind of suspect you could find a 100 anarcho-punk bands on Bandcamp that already have.

Paul, anybody – If you order from an artist’s own store in the UK does it count toward chart positions? Always wondered as I like to help push a higher chart placing if possible.

I’m a big Placebo fan, but what annoys me about websites like this is the blatant profiteering made on overseas sales. If you order in the UK, it quotes GB70 including VAT, but then charges GBP70 excluding VAT – and that on top of the premium postage charges. There’s no VAT charge on a sale to Australia, but they keep the price the same – so more money for the same sale for them. There’s a few companies that do this and it’s a rort. (And for anyone who thinks us overseas buyers get things too cheaply, do check out postage charges etc. first!!)

£70 for the box set?! I was excited before I found out the price! Thats a bit steep – at least include the CDs and other extras

Looks like a good follow up to Once More with Feeling.

I’m undecided about buying the 2 CD as I own most of the singles with the edit versions. There’s 11 songs on it I don’t have.

I’m guessing that the 2016 version of 36 Degrees will be similar to the 2005 live version which was played slower than the album version. I think it was released as a b-side on a single.

Looking forward to seeing them live later this year for the first time.

Wonder how different “Version 2016” of 36 Degrees is to the original?

nice compilation, love the cover picture a lot!

so what new stuff do we get?
there is ‘jesus’s son’ on the album and ‘life is what you make it’, ‘autoluminescent’ and ‘song #6′ on the EP.

so we get these new songs?

1. jesus’ son
2. life is what you make it
3. autoluminescent
4. song #6

is this correct?

is this correct?

There is also a vinyl six tracks EP (green or black) with unrealeased stuff

Who will order the black vinyl set if the pink is at the same price
