Decline Compleat

[Herbstzeitlose]

Do we know if all the orders have been shipped? My bundle still says not yet shipped, and my Sea of Brass vinyl still says shipped 19/6/15 (which we all know didn't happen). I am in Australia so not sure if my stuff is just taking a little while to arrive, or hasn't gone out yet. Was one of the first 100 orders, too...

I also ordered the bundle, and was in the first 100. My order arrived in Germany last Friday (14/08), but shipping status ist still "not yet". Could be that the bundles shipped later than the other sets? Hope this reassures you!

Still no sign of my Compleat set. Shows as Not Shipped Yet, but it seems that may not be an accurate indication...

Has anyone had any successful communication with Golden Chariot on tardy boxsets?

I am in the same boat burghblue. Have had some positive feedback from the shopkeeper / management, but no communication from Golden Chariot / Sunshine HQ other than an out of office email.

It looks lovely though. The wait continues.

I'm still waiting as well Shopkeeper looking into it......

Ditto, but I only ordered the Handbook.

Finally a response from Sunshine HQ. Apparently they tried to deliver it when I wasn't home but neglected to leave a "sorry we missed you" card from what I can gather. Re-delivery rearranged to my place of work. Fingers crossed it is not delivered by Yodel....

Hello, all. Also still waiting.

Out of curiosity - I bought the Compleat (plus handbook) right away (April) - but don't remember being 'informed' I was one of the first... did the first 100 sell our in less than a day? Or was I somehow just not informed? Just curious if I should be expecting any goodies (beyond just the greatness of all the demos people are sharing - and thanks for that!).

I think it was calculated elsewhere that the 100 ran out around 5-6pm on day one.
I have nothing to upload and share by the way, so many thanks to those who have, my bonus item being a Fear of Drowning CD single I already had... if any recipients of these tasty demo CDs / cassettes would, having copied the files, like to exchange said original artefact for said (once considered rather rare) CD single you know where I am...

[negative8ball]

Ah - that explains it. Shame - I was purchased by 5, but EST which I assume was 5 hours too late.

Thanks, then, everyone here for sharing the amazing goodies.

[burghblue]

Got it! (It seems to have been sitting locked up in the mailroom at work and the mailguys forgot to tell me)

First 100 goodies include a CD with three mixes of "Strange", a Carrion CD single, flyer and a photo of Eamon in a tour bus bed. Will upload things on the relevant thread in due course.

Received mine yesterday. Its a bit big for the glove compartment of my car, but other than that is has exceeded my expectations. A reissue that is well and truly for the fanboys. Love it.
Have enjoyed listening to the demos and hearing an insight into how the album took shape over time. Really loving the chaotic, almost demonic SOSL demo and the Always the Sea demo. So much to read and listen to. Delighted!

Liking Yan's Decline Compleat promo film, very nice dreamy piano Remember Me. A bit disappointed that he wasn't in it, in unboxing stylee.

I am sure I spotted a hand at one point, but of course, it might not be his.

What I would really love to hear is 'British Sea Power' by Songer Gasboss. Is it out there somewhere?

Songer Gasboss, a band name if there ever was one.

If things had turned out differently, we'd have such classics as:
The Decline of Songer Gasboss
Do it for Your Mum: One Band, One Dad, One World War - a Story of Songer Gasboss, Rock Dreams and Family Farce
The Compleat Illustrated Songer Gasboss (Vol 1)

Oh, I didn't get it for my birthday in case anyone was wondering.
I got a torch.
