Just posted this in the other thread but did anyone else expect an actual box, with this “deluxe” vinyl inside of it? I thought I was getting the rest of the contents with it, loose inside the box, like an actual small booklet, print, 7 inch single in a case and cd in its case etc.
Maybe I didn’t pay attention to the contents or advertising but while this is definitely a deluxe edition, it is also definitely NOT a box

I love it! So many cool photos inside and little things to look for. The vinyls themselves are beautiful too, the white looks great. Took me a few minutes to realise the CD fold out part has a photo of Liam at the mic that continues over every piece that folds out, couldn't be happier.. This is why we buy the physical copies! Absolutely mate, I think that fold out part is great as well, very nice set overall.

]I saw it, and it's a shame. It was aesthetically better to have the case. Indeed. The quality of the box is good, but the one who designed it didn't really think about the fact thtat people might actually "use" it Btw, the s/sided 7" is completely useless, the "tickets" are ridiculous (it's not like the concerts are legendary gigs from the seventies or something like that). How do you mean, the 7" is useless?

It's just a collector's item as it is exactly the same song as on the album which is included in the "box". There's simply no reason to play it. If they etched both sides without any music on it, it wouldn't make any difference. My remarks may seem a bit harsh (as I like the box after all), but some decisions make no sense to me: -It's hard to take the discs out. Listening to it once in a while will probably damage the "box" and/or discs -Why are two pages from the deluxe CD booklet missing although the additional songs are included on the CD? -What's the point of replica tickets from 2017 concerts? -What's the point of a 7" s/sided vinyl with exactly the same song as on the album? Was there no money left to do a different mix/edit or even a remix? What I like: -The High quality matte finish -The fold out part itself is awesome -The images and design of the "booklet" -The music itself Update: Amazon sells it, too. www.amazon.co.uk/You-Were-VINYL-Liam-Gallagher/dp/B0763JL8TH/

Playing the white vinyl for the first time now. Anyone else experience playing issues?
It's jumping on Greedy Soul and it's jumped 2 or 3 times on Side B already. Very disappointing to say the least.

I was just going to comment I think it sounds great, no skipping up jumping so far on Side A for me.

I had a few small "black dots" on the white vinyl which caused jumps (maybe colour from the casing). I removed them carefully with a finger nail, now it plays fine.

I've placed a pound coin on top of the needle on my turntable, problem solved!

I wouldn't do that. Normally you balance your tone arm and then add about 1 to 3 grams of pressure, depending on the needle. A whole pound coin will likely result in scratched records.

Yet, tracking was mess. It said that my order was still have to be handed to the courier a couple of hours before. Hope you've received yours today.

If your order doesn't arrive today and you haven't received any shipping information from official store, you better get in touch with them. Hopefully it will arrive very soon.

Mine is arriving today according to my tracking number. One week for a courier service...?? What´s the point?? I´ve ordered many times from Uk with standard airmail and it didn´t even take a week. Poor service

mimmihopps I finally recieved it today. What a great boxset. Looks really good. I prefer it above the Dig Out Your Soul boxset.

Havnt seen it mentioned anywhere but read on discogs last night that 50 boxsets randomly included 50 Polaroid photographs of Liam at a photoshoot. Wasn't sure if it was true but it's on the TM store website, if you were lucky enough to receive the set with the 50 pics they were enclosed in a wallet under Liam's sig on the second page. Nice of this to be an option on Liam's site ! liamgallagher.tmstor.es/cart/product.php?id=34192&cur=GBP

My 'As you Were' boxset has a Polaroid in it. I know of one other guy who has a Polaroid so that's 2 found of the 50. Has anyone else found one yet?

Did we manage to find out how many Polaroids are in known existence? I know alot of collectors might keep their box set sealed but it would be cool to try and count/complie how many of these Wonka Tickets are actually claimed.

What a nice purchase, and know that my sick mind also wanted to buy a separate CD, just for the cover. As You Were.

I love both boxsets of both Liam's albums. However I just keep them for my collection rather than play them. But they're well worth having for the collection. And I hope that Liam continues to release them for his future albums too.
