SDEtv: Garbage 3LP vinyl box

Well the box arrived from sandbag and you can guess the rest….so a quick call back (3rd time lucky)and the nice lady was very apologetic and said the print would go out that day first class’s ( this was yesterday by the way)and as promised it arrived today really well packed.so thank you staff at sandbag.so glad I stuck to my guns and cased this print down the set seems to make more sence with it and glad I bought it ,price wise it has the same sort of content as the led Zeppelin super deluxe sets which I have and love so I don’t think it a bad price (£60 for the set £12 for postage) postage was a bit steep and it even went to the wrong address at first ( yes truly )so all told a hard won box set.
Thank you Paul for a great site and have a great Christmas .

got my box through amazon yesterday without signed print, i’ve just sent an email to sandbag asking if they can send to me the signed photo, let’s see what they’ll say :)

Sorry to hear of the issues Paul and others are having. Goodness, it’s been really confusing all around. The last bit will be whether it is signed by the band in the end, or a print! If the later def going back! Companies really do have to be careful when advertising what is and what isn’t included in these sets. I bought this as a Christmas present, so i am glad i checked what was in it, but if the print is not really signed, uh, headache! So much aggravation! I will be wary about purchasing from Garbage/Sandbag again …

Thanks for all the advice folks, gave them a call on 0118-9505-812 UK number and a very professional lady said they are sending a signed photo out to me. Seems there was a genuine packing error, hence why they have lots left over, as they should have been put in the boxes! Fingers crossed, it arrives as it was a present for Christmas! Thanks everyone.

Just cancelled my box set from amazon.co.uk just in time… No signed print/no deal… £56 is too much for this set…

Just phoned the garbage store again after si message…and yes thay are still shipping out with signed print.Si…phone sandbag …see what can be done….

I bought directly from Garbage’s Store, imported in & NO signed print …

I decided to cancel my order from Amazon France and saw that it shipped today . . . . . ugh. I have no intention of keeping it if there is no print (and it sounds like there won’t be) so I’ll return it. I’m actually not sure I want the set at all, even with the photo. I thought that it would be quite limited, but I wonder now how many of these were manufactured – was it 1000 box sets, or 1000 sets that come with photos?

I’m sorry Paul ,I did not take a name but it was a young lady(she sounded young )who also cancelled my order for the lush box set…..also through sandbags….just this minute got the refund on that.You should try ,I feel we were mis sold …they seem to be helpful…do try and let us know how you get on.The tel number I rang was 01189569183.. Hope this helps.

Just spoke to a a very helpful person at the garbage store(sandbag)the sighed print is still being shipped with the box set.my Amazon order has been refunded an this has been ordered .hope this helps as a major part of this set (in my opinion )is the print .i did not ask how limited this is but I assume it’s 1000 as a few people have said.If you can afford the bit extra
This costs it’s the best bet I think.
Thank you Paul for you comments you hit the nail on the head ,I ordered way back in September and felt quite cheated by this ,so set it back.
Happy Christmas.

If anybody in the UK wants to avoid Amazon’s ‘re-priced’ £30.99 SDE download then 7digital’s UK store has it for a much more reasonable £11.99 for the same 320 mp3 version, rising to £15.99 for 24bit flac. Absolutely disgraceful from Amazon to charge that. Clearly they don’t have to – Amazon US has it for $8.99!

This reissure has indeed been extremely poorly conceived. Filling up the G-sides disc with the unreleased demos and maybe a few of the key mixes not featured on Absolute Garbage (like Milk – Tricky Mix) from the digital super deluxe would have made a WORLD of difference. I (and I’m sure most others) didn’t bother paying a premium for a modest number of readily available 20-year-old b-sides…

And the vinyl differences are just dumb. I also think the vinyl could have sold a lot more in the US if it wasn’t a Record Store Day exclusive. Price it at $25-30 and it could very easily be a popular casual purchase for the typical reissue buyer. But make it super limited and pricier… Not so much.

Makes the chances of a decent Version 2.0 reissue pretty low.

Well mine just arrived from Amazon ,no sighed print ,no sale.will be sending this back.If you bought of official site did you get the print or not?would like to know.Shame as its a nice box.

Got mine from the Garbage store too. A nice (but overpriced) set although the shipping was very pricey (seem to recall it was £12 in the UK).

It’s almost like Amazon are watching, the Deluxe set has now appeared overnight on the following regions Spain, Germany, Italy and France, prices range from around £48 – £66 plus shipping.

The German link for the 3lp is working and has a dec. 22th release.

I agree that it’s way overpriced and the RSD Release LP was Pink Vinyl, these are standard black. I didn’t wanna play games and wind up having it disappear so i just ordered it from the the Garbage Store. 3LP’s of some other artists are only around $40, just sayin’

I have the “standard edition” 2LP on lovely pink discs. It’s packaged as a three (six?) panel gatefold with pretty much all of the artwork preserved and overall very high quality glossy printing. It runs at 45 RPM (like the 3LP) and sounds great. No unexpected bonus tracks with the download code :/ Unless you’re particularly keen on having that bonus disc (of so-so b-sides) or prefer 180g black discs to the pink, you’re not missing much by going for the cheaper edition.

To my knowledge (and according to Discogs), a black 2LP edition has not been confirmed to exist anywhere…

Are we sure the 3-LP version will be available on Anazon? All links say unavailable.
