Got mine Friday from local store, they had 2 plus the extra they ordered for me. My least favorite album, however glad I bought the box the extra tracks and live show are excellent. Looking forward to the Record Store hopefully live show on vinyl and curios to what album will get the deluxe treatment next?

Mine has been shipped apparently. God knows when I’ll get it. I ended up listening to the set on Spotify, I couldn’t wait….
What can I say? I absolutely love this collection. There’s just so much to listen to. The remaster itself sounds great, the other tracks offer such an insight into the band, the demos, the alternate versions…. I can’t get over how fast the alternate version of Love You Til Friday is! Love how Paul encourages the rest of the band to speed up. There’s so much to digest…. Too many tunes to mention.
The live show rocks. I can’t get enough of it. The banter between the songs is hilarious… Tommy sounds about 12 when he says, “Don’t mind him, he’s an idiot!” The energy of the show is nuts.
I’m kind of lost for words, this set is incredible.

Okay, so I bought my copy today and just finished reading the booklet and listened to most of the cd's. This might be the best of the Mats reissues so far. But I have one complaint and I can't believe Rhino did this. On the the back cover they GLUED the list of songs over the 4 classic photos of Paul,Bob, Chris, & Tommy. So I tried to carefully peel it off and of course it left the back cover damaged. There's a big glue spot near Paul's face and another one near Tommy's legs. WHY THE HELL WOULD RHINO DO THIS?!?! Did anyone else have the same experience with their copies?? My copies of the DMP & PTMM box sets were not done like this....

Mine had that glued on back as well. I was able to remove and slowly get glue off of cover. I was really surprised they did this. A cheap fix, i am guessing. The only part of the package that was dissapointing. Everything else is fantastic. Glad the liner notes have all the guys involved!

I've been waiting on my pre-order, tracking info has finally posted, looks like it might be here today. For those of you who live in Minneapolis and didn't pre-order, there's a special offer at Electric Fetus records, 7" flexi disc with 4 alternate versions. Would be nice if Rhino offered these to those of us who pre-ordered and had to wait. Raised In The City (Alt version 2) Rattlesnake (Alt version) Takin' A Ride (incomplete vocal version) Something To Du (Alt version 3) electricfetus.com/NewsItem/9843

Quick update, mine finally arrived. Big thanks to firespirit & adamapple for the warning on the song list being glued on the back of the record jacket. Mine had 2 globs of rubber cement, I took my time pulling all around it very carefully and was able to get it off without damaging anything.

My copy also had the glue problem. I saw a video on YouTube that suggested using lighter fluid to remove labels from old records. I used some zippo lighter fluid and I was able to get all the glue off without damaging the cover. I just put the lighter fluid on a paper towel and then used it to clean the glue off. Another thing I did is take the song sheet listing to a UPS store and got it laminated(I did the same thing with the placemat from the Pleased To Meet Me set). It was only a few bucks.

Got a chance to start to listen to mine. If Only You Were Lonely on the first disc sounds crystal clear, but too fast. Could it be that the vinyl rip I've been listening to for the last decades was just slightly slowed down? Or does anyone else notice a difference? It could just be sentimentality, but I prefer it slower. 🤷♂️

Yeah, the tempo sounds about the same to me when compared to the versions I have. The remaster sounds ‘crisper’ to me, but that’s about it.

Glue problem as well. Ordered the bundle with the 7 inch from Rhino but didn´t get a bumper sticker, a button set or a flyer "included in the bundle".

I received my full bundle today, a Christmas gift from my daughters. Ordered several weeks before Christmas. It looks great. Looking forward to firing it up!
