Mine hasn't shipped yet but Amazon states it will be delivered on Friday.

Cheers for the heads up about this.

Bit annoying. I noticed this error in the press release back in December (and I mentioned it earlier in this thread).
I’m guessing that the same data that went to the press release sadly also went to the printers.

A minor annoyance though. Hopefully that’s the only issue with this set. After the 2007 Rhino reissues, I always get worried about these things.

Amazon message tells me it’s out for delivery today. Will be delivered today. Except I’m at work. Hope it gets left with the neighbours.

People on facebook are showing off with pics of them taking it out of the envelope/package today and calling it "amazing" before they've even opened the box.
32 likes and counting. You won't get that much "love" on here!

First impressions- a lot of care and attention gone into this. A beautiful thing. Helpful touch with the white ribbon to ease getting the stuff out of the box.Oh, they’ve included the original see through plastic sleeve AND a new white card sleeve for the inner of the vinyl.

Book is fantastic.

First thing I played was the alternative 1982 7” mix of Tempation, yes some differences to the released 7”.

Oh and Colin Torr (Biginoil from these forums once upon a time, maybe he still does post but under a different username?) gets a credit!

Looking at my original 12” and the new ones all the covers have slight differences (apart fromEGG which is major) which I think is deliberate to mark them as different to the originals, all seem different lightness or darknesss in the colours unless my originals are just faded with age, but temptation new 12 is more faded than my original.

Just watching hurrahs, excellent quality footage considering the age.

Absolutely fascinating. Bernard sings in a lonely place, Stephen then sings procession then Hooky the next 2 (DNE and mesh) that’s as far as I hav3 got up to now. Never realised Steve ever sang procession or Hooky mesh

Grrr - Amazon still not shipped for me.
It's meant to be delivered tomorrow but Amazon are saying 'before 11pm'. It better arrive wayyyy before then!!

There seems to be a few people having received their box from Amazon.co.uk today. I thought the release date was tomorrow (5th). If it is, it's very strange for Amazon to deliver a day early.
Never known them to deliver early.



PS Kind of serendipity that I 'ranked up' on the forum to 'Member Of The Movement' in the week that the box set was released.

It’s a nice corner of the world. Have been here all my life.

My box set has now been dispatched. My wife has offered to stay in for most of the day, but will need to pop out to take my son to school and pick him up. What’s the betting Amazon try to deliver during the half hour she’s missing?

I was lucky enough to receive my pre-order from the NO store yesterday. I bought the surrounding 12" reissues the old school way by actually going to a record shop and getting them each Friday they arrived. The box itself is great; it really feels like a quality item and not only that but the sound quality on the CDs is top notch. CD-TEXT tells us this is the 2015 remaster of Movement itself (by Frank Arkwright, I believe).

The DVD is a revelation. It is so easy to balls stuff like this up but the content being semi-mythical almost guaranteed a great review. I have just exported the audio to FLAC and the sounds is really full on through headphones. Brilliant. I flicked through the book and again, a quality item sporting some wonderful photos of the era.

My sole bit of tiny feedback would be that - for £120 - a third CD mirroring the Collector's Edition disc 2 content but similarly remastered would truly have made this the "Definitive Edition". The reissue 12" singles not having the remastered audio in digital was also a slight let down (being 2019 and all). However, I'm assuming it is being kept to one side for an eventual Substance 1987 box (fingers crossed).

When building my MP3 digital copy of this Movement set I simply copied in the 'fixed' Collector's Edition CD2 content in as as 'Disc 2' and shifted the Demos to 'Disc 3' with the DVD audio content completing 'Disc 4'.

At 72 tracks (!) on my phone under the Movement (Definitive Edition) heading it is a proper treasure trove to listen to.

More of this for the other albums, please I.e. take our money etc....

For those who either don't want or can't receive the box-set in their territory. A purchasable digital version is available through most usual sites:

https://www.qobuz.com/gb-en/albu...-new-order/l4xo3cn3thcgc
https://itunes.apple.com/gb/albu...2019-remaster/1458124979

It only includes Movement and the Demos CD though. No DVD content.

I hadn't noticed the FACD thing at first glance, but then noticed that someone had mentioned it on Facebook.
Again, a very minor quibble.

The set is truly a thing of beauty. Even at £120 RRP, I still think it's worth it (I pre-ordered through Amazon, so got it for £89).
I too was pleasantly surprised by the linen feel of the box. It really does hark back to those FAC cassettes! Lovely stuff!

The book is fantastic. Can't wait to read it. I love how they've taken photos of all the band's equipment used. I hope they continue to do this in the other box sets. Nice to see Barney's old 'seconds' 335. It looks like he still has it. (Man, I'd kill to own that piece of equipment! To me, that's how I always picture Barney - playing that guitar).

About to play the DVD. Should be good.

Ordered mine from Amazon (£89) and received it yesterday ( Thursday).

Crikey, Barney is kind of possessed in the Granada thing .

Just finished listening to the extras CD. Really enjoyed the Cargo sessions stuff.
