Porcupine Tree Anesthetize 4LP
porcupine tree concluded 18 months of touring fear of a blank planet with a short european tour in october 2008. both shows at the 013 in tilburg were filmed and highlights were released as the acclaimed “anesthetize” film on dvd and blu-ray in may 2010. tonefloat are now making available the complete audio soundtrack on vinyl as a lavish 20-track four disc set in separate picture sleeves, and housed in a deluxe hardback box, complete with 12x12inch booklet. the soundtrack was previously only available on cd in the long sold out deluxe book edition of anesthetize, and like that edition the vinyl set includes a bonus track prodigal that is not featured in the film, making a total of 2 hours 15 minutes of music across 8 sides of vinyl. this release is strictly limited to 3000 copies only, and will be deleted once sold out. the release date is set for 21st june, and anesthetize can be pre-ordered now from the tonefloat store.
please note: we realise that a heavy box like this (over 2 kilograms) costs a fortune to ship overseas, but for the occasion (and for the pre-order phase only), we have lowered the rates for the 2-5 kilogram section for both the airmail and registered airmail rates for non european customers.
just to say this is one heck of a decent boxset again from charles at tonefloat,who really seems to excel at this big events !
got the boxset last week,it really is very heavy,but the presentation with 4 individual sleeves for each of the slabs of virgin heavyweight vinyl are excellent as is the 12″ x 12″ colour booklet which includes live concert photos from the concert(i think !).
the sound quality is beyond the cd included with the earlier limited edition dvd boxset.but then again,maybe i,m biased i always prefer vinyl to the shiny beermat anyday.
still for sale,as of todays date but please note it is limited to 3000 copies,and you know the old story once they sell out watch the price go mental on ebay et al.
suggest for any of you with turntables you invest sooner rather than later,of course the price is a bit steep and maybe you are saving up for the multitude of SW2 deluxe sets due to hit us with pre-ordering soonish i expect-the cd,the bluray,the vinyl editions etc etc- like me you gotta have em all-hey ?
