Travis - The Man Who..Collectors Boxset

Yesterday I said to my girlfriend, you know I'd really be down with reissues of the first couple Travis albums on vinyl. Today when I log into Discogs, I see that this boxset was released today. Of course its already sold out. I guess I forgot to follow them on Facebook and it was never written up on any website I read nor was it sold outside of the band's website.

Love this record and really hope we see at least a standard vinyl reissue at some point.

'THE MAN WHO' NUMBERED LIMITED EDITION COLLECTORS BOX SET 08.09.17 - TRAVIS | 'The Man Who' Box Set out now!

Travis - The Man Who - Numbered Limited Edition Collector's Boxset - TM Stores

 

Yeah it was pretty low key, I only managed to get one because I saw a thread over on VC. Surely a wider LP release has to be coming.

 

who is Travis ?

Where is Waldo ?

 

So from reading the Q&A banter on their website with fans, it looks like this is it for a vinyl pressing and no standalone release of just the album. I've seen them a couple of times and am a $30 from MOV kind of fan not an $85 boxset. So if that is all they are playing to do with The Man Who then my loss I suppose. From the looks of it, a lot of fans missed out. Its like RSD but without waiting in line.

 

Yeah, that's too bad.

Enjoyed this album back in the day and still do.....but even if it was still available, I'm in the same situation. $30 MOV reissue? I might bite on that one, but not $65+.

 

"Travis" is a great band, with some terrific tunes, not so popular in the States. They were a part of my alternative radio favorites from the 1990's. [Why Does It Always Rain On Me?, Sing, Closer, Turn etc.]
Good luck finding Waldo!

 

They were sold in the States as the next Oasis. The label gave them a fairly big promotional push here.

 

ill look into them.




i do like Biffy Clyro on recommendation from my cousin in Belfast.

ill look into travis.

 

What and/or Where is VC?

 

Travis to me were a better band and songwriters than Oasis. Their records sounded better ( not overly compressed ) and more melodic. Not as thick and loud as Oasis.

Very different band though but I like them way more than Oasis. I bought almost all their CDs when they came out.

 

Vinyl Collectors Club..the guys on youtube who make videos of themselves showing off their collections.

I didn't know there is a forum as well.

I bought the collector's box set (no. 997/1000). I have a 1st UK pressing of TMW and the vinyl in the box set is on a par with the 1st pressing. I'm very happy with the box set; the book of photos is lovely and imo, it was worth the £50. I'll get round to playing the extra tracks soon. A very nice set

 

Wow, I never got word about this reissue. Anyone got some reviews? Was this an online store only release? There are a couple of sets on sale at Discogs now but at a premium already.

 

Travis were more sons of Radiohead than Oasis

 

Travis are a good band, I wasnt a bit fan back in the day but am really into them now. Oasis have always been so-so to me.

 

How stupid is that? I'd buy a standalone copy of this one and Invisible Band in a heartbeat. I might even pay $85 for the box but that ain't the asking price anymore.

 

Scored a VG+ copy of the original pressing at Beautiful World Syndicate in Philly. It wasn't cheap but I had to have it.

 

Looks like the box as well as a single vinyl of just the album being repressed..stoked!

The Man Who (20th Anniversary Edition): Limited Edition Boxset

 

Am on the fence about this boxed set as I’m not too keen with the b-sides. I’m quite happy with my VG/VG+ first press so I’ll probably pass on this, unless the price goes down. But count me in for Glastonbury’99!

Live at Glastonbury 1999

 

Great Album. Don't think I want to spend the $85 for it.

 

::::... it would be great to hear this one on vinyl, but, man, you cut my fav trilogy: "Driftwood-Last Laught-Turn" ...this sequence is IMO what makes this album great...just checked the original press on Lp is the same track order per side...then, this one was released to be listened on CD?

 

Good price for the single record on amazon uk

Im not buying the entire box

I picked up the numbered box set. IMO it sounded like a very compressed file pressed to vinyl. I'd have to assume the subsequent reissues are that same pressing. I'm curious if anyone is paying attention, whats the difference between this box set and the earlier pressed one? seems like the "book" grew by 10 pages or so, assuming no autographed litho/photo....

FYI I picked up the Glastonbury vinyl.... refused to pay the additional $5 for the cd even though I'd love mp3s. Shipping to the us was insane!

 

I'll wait for The Invisible Band 20th set.
