You could go on and on about different 12" Singles from each album. Keep it to 3/4 in each box I say.

Heaven forbid someone enjoys listening to them on substandard record players or using sub-$500 earphones. Nobody has to buy these if they already have the original pressings, but nobody should be criticized for buying them either. Mint copies of the originals would be more expensive than the boxes, so for some people they'll be a bargain. Of course, like most of the devoted, I already have multiple copies of most of DM's 12" singles, but I'm still eagerly awaiting these boxes. And I won't just look at them and take pleasure in knowing that I own them - they'll be in regular rotation on my (hopefully acceptable) turntable, just like all my other DM treasures.Depechetraffnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2479382718529718406.post-44000489065272963412018-09-03T22:36:06.407+01:002018-09-03T22:36:06.407+01:00The reissue is offensive when as fan you used to d...The reissue is offensive when as fan you used to drive miles to record shops to get these singles. In the back of your mind you would think 'hey maybe these will be worth something one day?’ sometimes just to help justify your addiction.. cut's to Dave Gahan singing out loud.. WRONG. I also hate the fan unboxing video, it’s so staged. OK they maybe fans but they look like they have all been given these to help sell them to others. Tacky marketing at best.

So it's very hard to get excited here. Also if they do not shift in big numbers then will Sony give up.. this could end up with half baked collection, this happened with the CD box reissues. The thing that I enjoy is just how many people will play these on cheap turntables that in no way will show up the quality of the pressings.. One of the promo video even shows this, I'd buy a great turntable instead, would cost about the same as all these box sets together, then you would get a fantastic sound from all your vinyl collection.
