the Thrak/Vrooom sessions contained some superb material,
but i'm afraid this is just overkill unless you're a diehard fan.

I have the ItCotCK, LTiA, Starless, and Red boxes, but will pass on this. Not one of my favorite ensembles. I would love a Discipline/Beat/ToaPP box though if that ever materializes!

Thrak was a cool album. The Vrooom EP was a nice complement to it,

Both the Pet Sounds Sessions and Headquarters Sessions 4-disc sets are too much, and those are better albums.

This is validation of every criticism of Prog as being over-the-top-outlandishly-excessive.

a deluxe edition for "TOAPP" would make me feel all tingly in my nether regions!

Glad to see some sensible responses here. You should see the salivating over at some of the prog forums! I love KC, but this was the last studio album I liked at all, and it was hit or miss.

I agree, but since when has overkill stopped KC as far as releasing every note they've ever played??! (Marillion's getting to be almost as bad). I love both bands but...................

Up for grabs!

It's up at Amazon USA now:

http://www.amazon.com/dp/B013L37JRE/?tag=imwan-20

Not yet at the UK or Canadian sites.

It would be nice to have a cheaper option to only buy the 2 blu/1dvd-a. I like Thrak, but don't need (& can't afford0 this much of it!

HERESY! HERESY!
how DARE you suggest that you shouldn't go bankrupt in the process of indulging their bankrolls in the interest of sensible personal economics!

2-disc version:

This listing will probably be the two-disc edition once the details are filled in:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B013RY369W/?tag=imwan-21

It's only at Amazon UK so far. I'd like to see where the price ends up once the domestic pressing appears at Amazon USA.

I may grab the 2 disc if gets down to $16 or lower & if the blu's are not available separately.

The domestic pressing of the CD/DVD-A set is up at Amazon USA now:

http://www.amazon.com/dp/B013RY369W/?tag=imwan-20

It's currently at full list price, but will go down as the release date approaches.

I put an order in for this set today at the local record store that I frequent.( I keep saying i'm done with their boxed sets but they keep roping me in)

Bump: Both editions have been pushed back to November 6th.

The two-disc set (CD and DVD-A) is already out in England, and now scheduled for release on Christmas Day here in the States:

But if you can stand to wait until mid-January, click on the Canadian pre-order link in the middle. Amazon Canada has it on sale for just C$11.85 at the moment, which is more than 50% off.

If Canada would only deliver to po boxes.........

I can't guarantee I'll still be in this house in late January.

Where do things currently stand for you, Geff? (If I may ask in this thread.)

Very fubbared.

Thought I had a house; there is a problem with water underneath. The mh park has so far refused to coordinate witth the home inspector to get it dry on his schedule. I've already paid $350 for the inspection. I likely have until early-mid Feb to move.

I'm also been dealing with severe back pain for the last 2 1/2 months, & there is some possibility that I have mouth cancer.

Life is a bit frightening right now. The last thing I should be doing is buying more cd's & dvd's....... but it lowers the stress level.
