New CREAM VINYL Box Set in November 2014

Yes, they botched things up with the digital stuff.

Also: There is a cover discrepancy between the actual LP of Fresh Cream and the picture shown on the back of the box too. One uses the UK cover (with the teardrop album title) and the other uses the USA cover (in a square box).

See posts #185 and 187.

So for this releases, we dont have I Feel Free on vinyl?

 

That is correct

 

Or "The Coffee Song", "Wrapping Paper" and "Anyone For Tennis". They could've included a 4 song bonus "Extra" EP like the 1980's Australian Box Set originally had.

 

Thats shait

 

Ok, thanks. Can't seem to find any locally in the American Mid-West.

 

Just bought the box set. Not sure if it's all analogue but it sure sounds fantastic. My dad never got to buy their first album on vinyl so my first listen was to a copy my maths teacher from high school lent to me. The vinyl reissue in this set sounds way better than that old CD, way better.

 

I did get this box set recently. Manufacturing quality seems to be quite good. All LP's except one were nice and flat and without scuffs. Not sure what to do about the one LP, it is warped a bit more than what I find acceptable. The rest seems close to perfect.

I haven't done any externsive sound comparisons yet. The two Live Cream releases sound better than any of the old CD versions (Japan, WG).

 

Does anyone know if they will be realesed seperately. How do they compare to recent SHM SACD

 

Yes, on May 15th in Europe.

 

exactly the same here...

 

So is the consensus on this set overall positive? I'm thinking of pulling the trigger on it. Decent price on amazon.ca.

 

For the European pressing, yes. I am not sure if all sets were pressed in Europe.

 

Is there anyway to tell? Guess its a gamble if Im buying thru Amazon Canada?

 

I think they are all euro pressed at the same plant

 

Available for pre-order on the Universal website: http://thesoundofvinyl.com/*/Pre-Orders/

 

Wondering how Wheels of Fire would sound on this new release.

So are these individual albums the same as the box set ones as regards quality, source etc etc?

 

Pretty Good. My favorite in the entire set.

 

So it is lots better than UK 1st

 

Don't know. I only have the UK mono and a U.S. 1st press

 

About $82 Italy to USA from Amazon.it

 

Following the above, I was (also) told today that Amazon Italy are selling the box set for 69 euro or £ 46 as a special offer. That's about 11 Euro or £8 only for each LP.

 

Thanks for that I finally pulled the trigger. We'll see what kind of shape the box will arrive in to USA.

 

Did you get your box though yet. What are your thoughts on it?.
