I would wait and look for these to drop in price over the coming months and try to get it at half off someplace. I seriously doubt the team that put this release together is the same one that did the two previous boxes, and lets face it, they screwed it up and then over-priced it for reasons that are hard to understand, other than by just seeing it as a cash grab. Finally, seventh, the hardback book, although it has a nice cover, is nowhere near as nice as the work that went into the books of the two previous box sets (MBJ & TFTT), The layouts and page designs are fairly rote and dull if you compare them. Sixth, the album jackets are inexpensive knockoffs while the original release was housed in a "tip-on" Stoughton jacket. Fifth, the back of box insert that lists the contents of the set does not fit inside the box nor will it adhere to the outer box- just stupid.
Fourth, although this is advertised as a numbered edition, their is no number, just a blank on the box insert. Third- BY ACCIDENT- they include a vinyl LP of alternate versions that is a mislabeled copy of the reissue. Second, they do not even include a remastered vinyl copy of the album. First, the price- about $300- is not even remotely justified nearly all of the audio content in the set are on optical discs. Universal Music Group"Īs a collector and long-time admirer of Cat Stevens, I am really disappointed in this box set. More information for this process will be shared ASAP. We are having LP1 reprinted urgently, and will ensure that everyone who purchased the box set will be eligible to receive a replacement LP free of charge. We would like to offer our sincere apologies to everyone who has purchased the Super Deluxe Edition set, and for the inconvenience caused. "With great regret, we have to report that there has been an error in the production of the Teaser and the Firecat Super Deluxe Edition box set, wherein LP1 (Teaser and the Firecat: Alternate Versions), which comes in a blue sleeve, mistakenly contains the 50th anniversary remastered audio of the original 1971 album (and not the Alternate Versions). Hopefully the fact that you will end up with an extra vinyl of the remastered album will provide some small compensation for the trouble this causes. They will ensure that the issue is corrected, at no cost to you. Universal have requested us to convey their sincere apologies due to a problem with the new Teaser and the Firecat Super Deluxe Box Set.
