Thanks Alberik. I'm not in a hurry to preorder but I'll snap it up when it comes out  The price is very reasonable. I wonder what's in that booklet.  Great avatar gif BTW  |

Looking forwards, there are a few I am missing from collected separate disks from here and there. Nice price point. You just have to love Ozric track names !
Hmm.. that Burning shed link says 9th December 2013 release.

@misty - indeed it does, looks like they have changed the date in the meantime, so even better!

I'm so HAPPY, I can barely contain myself. The fruits of my hard work are finally to be released. Thank you Ozrics for this. I'm gonna get all soppy and even go so far as to say I love you. It was worth waiting almost two years for. |

Good on yer Opaque and Brandy I was not so excited about this compared with new album but now I recall what these albums mean after having a listen again. So many sweet sounds and
it has a lot of the things I love to hear, roll on release date !

In fact that x-mas is ahead, i´ve got a decadent wish^^
Will it happen that this 6 records of vitamin enhanced box are made out of vinyl in future (each one in a different colour like the t-shirts *ggggg*)
with an extra-x-x-l booklet in size of a record-cover ? :-DDD
that would be awesome
:-)

Hi All,
Ah, thanks for being so excited, I can't wait to see one myself now! I haven't had enough time to think about it but now I want one for Christmas too! =)
I remember finding the CDs individually scattered across America in 94-95, I couldn't find the actual box set ever in the states, I had heard rumour of it, but that was it. I had managed to get all the cds but never in the box itself. Then I met Rad, and he said he had an extra box (just the outside) that he had nicked from underneath the snooker table in the mill ! He gave it to me (in 1999) and finally I had my box set!
I have now come to think that the cds I collected were actually from that very same box at some point, and I managed to internationally reassemble the package, if only I could ask the CDs. =)
...ah, anyway, the box should be up for pre-order on our ozrics.com site tomorrow I hope!
Niall - email me your address so I can get Snapper to send you a Christmas package!
Vinyl - I am working on, but to do the actual box might be tricky...
Much love to you all, there is so much excitement in the air... So many things on the cards!! Next year is going to be crazy! We'll see you at Glasto, Ozora, Boom, ...and many more! ...can't wait!
Space Out! ~ bxx

This is all so exciting, its almost all too much. Bought my first tapes from Jane O'Roonie (Nana Obscuri >?) at Earlham Park Rainbow Fayre in 1986, and now to still see so much interest in these releases - its just great.
Got the tapes, got the box, ordrered the shirts , ordered the remaster- and what now....VINYL...Holy crap !!! PLEASE DO IT BRANDI! Im guessing it would have to be 2 LP's per release - maybe do a TOTE BAG instead of the box if its too tricky. Sign me up.
Jon

A nice buzz going on here and plenty to look forwards to... keeps the post gig anticlimax away, you get used to having a gig to look forwards to you know. Got my mugs though for every time I have a cuppa ! Cripes Glasto sold out in about 2 seconds as usual. It was about 94-98 or so when I saw Ozrics at Glastonbury bit hazy... We never fondly called it "Glastonsobes" without reason.

they sold out Monty Pythons O2 gig in 43 seconds. I hate the world today.
Brandi - I hope you have a good deal with burningshed, tempted to buy off the Ozrics site but that means shipping from USA which in turn means local greedy customs paws all over the shipment increasing the price significantly. Who the hell invented the customs??

Hi All, Ok , box set is up for pre-order on our backstreet site: www.backstreet-merch.com/bands/oz/Don't worry about EU shipping, although we have moved to a snowy mountaintop, our record company and our merch company are still located 1 block away from each other in my favourite Area of London, Camden Town... So it will actually be more of a pain for the people ordering from the US. We do have a great relationship with burning shed, (they are lovely, they were bouncing up and down at the gigs too), but obviously if we sell them ourselves, we stand to make quite a lot more...=) Hope you enjoy~ bxx |

Just wondering why the postage is so expensive on the Ozrics shop?

To London residents: my wife will be visiting London in the holidays. Is the box set available in any of the major record shops there? If so, how much is it? Thanks. I'm only asking because of the aforementioned shipping cost.

OK, got through all the CDs apart from There is Nothing. Amazing stuff, but my only complaint is that my favourite album, SGW, sounds a bit odd - I don't know what, tinny or metallic? Some new sounds coming out on Yaboop.
Tantric remaster really stands out and Erpriff on Erpsongs is glistening!
Well done to all involved. A gem.
Also got an Erpsongs mug, which is fantastic!

Oh, and I wish there was an Ozric book now, reading Richard Allen's liner notes.
Also I noted the photo in the booklet stating "unknown flautist" on page 23. Surely that is Kay Springer from Ullulators?

I got my freebies in the post yesterday. This box set is excellent now it's had further mastering, and is in fancy packaging. It's everything that both the original Vitamin Enhanced and Afterswish failed to be, and if Kellogs ban this, it'll be worth more on Discogs than the first VE that's for sure! Thanks Ozrics for taking on and releasing my 'epic' restoration project. The two free copies and my name in credits are payment enough. In the next few months I'll be getting studio monitors of my own, and am currently putting acoustic treatments on the walls of my front room. Having this box set on my CV will certainly help me in my efforts to get into pro recording/mastering/restoration. I'm very happy about this. Good luck with the next album, and I'll no doubt see you on the next tour. |

I think vinyl would do these recordings justice. I'd buy them. |

My box set arrived yesterday and I am listening to it as I write. It is great to finally hear this in the audio quality it deserves. I own the original box as well and although I haven't done a side by side comparison yet the improvement is already evident. opaquelens: Congratulations on a job well done! Hmm, I just noticed my original box has sustained some water damage on the shelf where it has been stored for years. Must be pretty recent because it is still wet.  What a strange coincidence. As if it knew its time had come... |

Ordered and waiting. Better late than never. Apparently it's an online-only release, the logic of which I'm not sure I understand, unless it's a limited edition. Special thanks to opaquelens for kick starting this, and his labour of love. |

I'm trying to order one from backstreet-merch, but I cant find an "add to cart" icon. The other albums have one.....

The price is very reasonable.
