Holy moly.
I wonder if at any point during the design of that monstrous monolithic set, someone asked "But what if they DON'T want it to be the centerpiece of their entire house?"

Well this was NOT what I was expecting... Is anybody even considering this?
If they don't do individual releases I'll sell my copies and never listen to them again.

The description says 18 LPs, so unless one of the outtakes is 2xLP, I'm guessing it's the 4LP version of FTM with the title track?

Yeah, I can't imagine they would exclude that song if this is supposed to be all of the studio recordings.
They'll probably do - once the boxset is sold out.
It will also be available from record stores since aren't selling all copies exclusively from their own store.
Why should they stop making money if they've spent probably quite an amount for the right, remasters, etc.
And if there's demand, well...
By the way, records are being pressed at Optimal.

Seeing how fast this sold out im pretty sure individual releases will be comig.Also available here,
I wish I could swing it right now. People are justifying it by looking at what the original presses cost which I think is a very stupid way to price new releases direct from a label.
for solo reissues outside of the box.

Worked out about £355 shipped, which I don't think is too bad. Add to the fact that there is literally nothing (luxury items) to spend money on just now, no gigs, no festivals, no cinema, no restaurants, no pub and no holidays then I can justify it...

Can't believe it sold out already. Glad I pulled the trigger last night after mulling it for a few hours.
The price was tough to swallow, but I slept on the Ozzy and Bad Religion boxes and seriously regret both. Plus, as a former Scene Emo kid in high school, The Mars Volta is one of the ONLY bands from that period that I loved and actually still holds up nostalgia removed. And love a short flawless (IMO) discography. There literally won't be one disc here here that doesnt get multiple spins.

I just gave deloused a listen for the first time in awhile, to maybe convince myself to cancel or justify the purchase and damn, what an album. This set is going to be amazing.
