But it says "two guitar version", which must be the VV mix surely?

Getting ridiculous now, but One of These Days is now up on Vevo. Can't help but feel they're overdoing these exclusive previews. Sounds great though!

I just got shipping confirmation from Amazon UK - some folk closer to the source might be getting their copies very soon.

Got my box set last friday. Unfortunately, the before mentioned version from The Afterhours Tapes is not included.
The biggest surprise for me is that I actually like the Mono mix better than the 2 known mixes, maybe just because it is new to my ears....

The Afterhours version was the Valentin version, which was rare for a long time. They just used less than perfectly precise language to describe it.

Neither the Live CD of the Deluxe Edition nor the two Live Discs of the Super Deluxe Edition (except Sister Ray) are available for streaming on Spotify. VU&N and WL/WH super deluxe editions are available completely. So I have to wait til I get mine to listen to the most exciting songs

Just listened to the live Sister Ray on Spotify and first impression is that it sounds great. Is it just me or does the sound change abruptly for a period at 32:48? Was wondering if maybe they had to patch in a bit of the Quine recording at that point? (Maybe due to a tape change?)

Physical copy has arrived. The Matrix stuff is wonderful, and no speed problems on PBE.

Hi, new member but been lurking for a long time!

I need to wait until Christmas before I get my hands on the Super Deluxe (it can't come soon enough!) but I couldn't wait to listen to at least a selection of the tracks on Spotify. One of the areas that interests me is the mono mix and whether it is really just a fold-down or an as yet unreleased mix of the album. Listening to Candy Says, it sounds to me like a fold down of the Closet Mix however one thing that surpised me was right at the end of the track (around 3:57) it suddenly jumps into stereo. I assume this happens on the actual physical Disc 3 and not just an error on Spotify?
