    Anyone order THE DOORS ltd. ed. Vinyl Box Set?

    Anyone order the limited edition box set of The Doors?  It is due out on 4/22, but the date has kept moving back for about a year now.  The vinyl is supposedly all ready pressed at RTI, and is ready to be boxed or has already been boxed.  The issue started off being a run of 2,500 I believe, then they said that was for US and because of demand they were doing going to do a world wide issue of 12,500, numbered, limited edition.

    During the last couple of weeks the price has risen from 150.00 to between 180 and 200 per box at Acoustic Sounds, Elusive and Direct Music.  The last time I checked today you could still get it on Amazon for 150.

    Just wondered who else may have ordered this.

    I ordered it about 6 months ago.  Maybe longer.  Are they still honoring the original price at ED?

    Same here.  I'm looking forward to both!  Looks like the Mothership CD set was issued on time.  Anyone here have a copy?

    Looking at a recent Elusive Disc receipt, it still shows The Doors Box Set on preorder for $149.99.  I suppose they are grandfathering us in at the original price even though we've yet to be billed.

    Anyone want to buy my preorder for $19.99? That's a savings of $10.(wink)

    So what do we get for our extra $8?  Maybe a lower serial #???

    I'm just glad they are finally going to ship the set.  I hope it's all that it's cracked up to be.  I'm holding off selling my originals and Japanese pressings until I hear these new LPs.

    I just got an email from Amazon that mine were supposed to ship today but there is a problem... basically they don't have them yet.

    So I guess for the extra $8 yours actually shipped on time. I'm thinking we might be in for a long wait. Big Smile

    Let me know what you think of these, Gary.
