Look what arrived in the post today - English Electric, the new album by OMD, as a stunning box set and vinyl package.
So, here's what I got:
- An OMD embossed tin
- The album on CD
- A CD of demos
- A DVD
- A foldout cover to hold the above 3 items
- Three cards with artwork
- Three cards with photos of the band 'in concert'
- A blue vinyl 7" single with an exclusive b-side ('Frontline')
- A booklet with lyrics and photos
- A signed card - I think they call it a 'certificate of authenticity'
- Some foam packaging to keep the above safe in the tin
- The album on vinyl in a die cut sleeve, so you can rotate the inner sleeve to make different versions of the artwork (it's just like the OMD/Architecture and Morality/Dazzle Ships albums covers all over again, which kept me entertained as a child)
Oh, and there were two metallic badges as well, which I think were extras thrown in to the parcel as it was a pre-order and might not be part of the boxset.
And here's the tin... I know, taking photos of tins is possibly an all time low for me.
Jesus, they are obviously paying these School Teachers too much if they can squander their earnings on such a luxury item! What would Ian Duncan £53p/w Smith say? Or Michael Gove more pertinently...
ReplyDeleteBut it does look rather desirable, RW ;)
You're right - we earn too much, we all leave work at 3:30 and go on holiday for half the year.
