SPOTLIGHT Gene Clark "No Other" (New 5.1 surround mix on Blu-Ray and SACD)

[milt]

Just cracked mine open & whew.
Perfect condition.
Wow, what an exquisite set.

I was a bit hesitant ordering this but I equate it to a fine dining experience or VIP tickets to a favorite concert.
Expensive? Yes.
Worth it? Yes.

Thank you Neil & 4AD.

Got a prompt reply back from 4AD today! They are mailing me a new, bottom box!! So, anyone with a similarly damaged box, email them and you'll get a replacement box. Yippie!!!

So Gene does this mean Lamar and Diablo have a new box to 'investigate?'

Yes, but it's mostly Lamar who cannot resist a good box.....lol

I just ordered The Band 50th box after listening on you tube and fired up QQ to see what chatter there was about it, then saw the post about the Gene Clark and listening to it on the tube I'm really enjoying the music, I'm not going to get the box set though, but if it ever came out as a Blu-ray or SACD I would definately go for it.

I had a good feeling about 4AD taking care of people & glad you were one.
I really hope these folks do more releases like this, they are truly labors of love & excellent taste.

Got my set today... and the bottom box is damaged/torn

...hopefully they send me a replacement.

Received mine today in less than perfect shape but, to my perspective, acceptable shape. I agree that the box is a flawed design. All that aside, the content is brilliant and the music is a home run. Money well spent.

Received this today and unfortunately another severely cracked box. The contents seem too heavy for the box structure. At least the important stuff seems in good condition.

 

[GOS]

Wow, this is all too bad. So many damaged bottom lids. Ugh....

Send all damaged boxes to:

Lamar the Cat
c/o Gene
Central IL, USA

Lamar will have a ChristmasVillage of boxes like NO OTHER!

Mine came yesterday -- haven't opened yet (saving for Thanksgiving holiday). Looks great on the outside (the two floppy disc singles were separate).

As long as none of the actual non-box contents were damaged, I'll be ok. Maybe the undamaged sets will get premium price on resale .

Mine will "become" undamaged", once I receive my new box.....which they sent.

I contacted the supplier about my damaged Gene Clark box and they said they’re sold out of the set and could either give me a refund or try to replace the box; I said I’d prefer the box and they said they are placing an order for more boxes from the manufacturer and it will take a month.
