Maybe it's my interpretation of the phrase "Discboxes will be shipped on or before 3rd December 2007" but when I read that I think they are going to send it out on or before the 3rd not that it will arrive by then.

Ah! If they stated, shipping on or before then they have lots of time

I mean...they could ship freight for someone like me and I won't see it until mid-Feb

In the meantime, check out some cover tunes from their recent webcast, Thumbs_Down:

Radiohead - Ceremony (Joy Division)
Radiohead - The Headmaster Ritual (The Smiths)

I guess we'll see if anyone get their discbox tomorrow. I hope that it isn't delayed long. I noticed that my credit card was charged immediately after the order, rather than upon shipment...

I just got the email that they shipped the discbox, 5-18 days to arrive.

Likewise. I'm giddy with anticipation.

That Radiohead box set that's on its way out is pretty exciting too.

Keep in mind that one's not sanctioned by the band. It's potentially EMI taking their revenge due to Radiohead's refusal to sign another contract with them.

Just in case that makes a difference.

It turns out that my answer to this one was 7.15am GMT today, so I must have been amongst the first in the world to take delivery of this.

I greeted the boxed set with a mixture of delight and disappointment. The slipcase is decent and gives the package a nice feeling of solidity, but the large booklet is flimsy and is has no text. The narrow booklet has the lyrics to the album, but no lyrics for the additional disc. The second disc sounds to be musically very worthwhile, but is only just under twenty-seven minutes long.

I was hoping that they might have rewarded the fans who paid a lot with a more generous package. In fact, the total running length of the two CDs put together is 75 minutes, which is a suspiciously familiar number.

Overall, the package isn't out of line for the price paid: it's a nice collector's item, which should appreciate in the future and which really puts a nice physical form on one of the best albums of the year.

Tracks on the second disc are: "MK1", "Down is the new up", "Go slowly", "MK2", "Last Flowers", "Up on the ladder", "Bangers + Mash" and "4 Minute Morning".

I received mine as well: "we shipped ground or sea when possible" Heh, I'll see mine in February.

Check your spam filter- that is where my email was. But for US customers it says up to 15 days to arrive.

 

[omegaman]

My e-mail was in the spam box. £40 and we have to wait for surface mail

I got mine just now. The courier said he's been delivering them constantly since Monday to excited fans in my area... apparently his company is delivering 17,000 preordered copies in the UK.
