Wild Swans Super-Deluxe: ROTW orders

Just a quick note to thank everyone who ordered The Wild Swans The Coldest Winter For A Hundred Years Super-Deluxe Edition and hasn't yet received it for your patience. We're packing up all orders right now and they'll go out either tomorrow (Friday 29/11/13) or Monday at the latest. As they're all going by courier rather than by post, they should reach you fairly quickly - though it'll depend where in the world you are, of course. Thanks again for your support and your patience, this has been by far the biggest project we've ever undertaken and we hope you'll all agree it's been worth waiting for.

Wild Swans Coldest Winter Deluxe and Standard orders

We're now taking orders for the Deluxe and Standard editions of The Wild Swans Coldest Winter For A Hundred Years double vinyl LPs. The Standard edition is 2x180g LPs in a heavy-duty gatefold sleeve and inners, and it'll be on general release, though the Deluxe (pictured) is only available here. It comes in a specially-designed full-colour outer package containing 1) double LP, 2) shrinkwrapped CD in outer/inner sleeves 3) poster 4) postcard 5) badge 6) "Coldest Winter" insert. It's gorgeous and a Mr P. Simpson of Liverpool has declared himself "completely happy" for the first time ever. We also have savings on Vinyl180's vinyl Incandescent if you buy both. There's a gatefold edition similar to Coldest Winter and a special hardback book version, we should have stock of both soon. Some items are heavy and need to be sent by courier or other signed-for service so shipping is expensive. For orders from outside the UK and Europe Zone 1, we've negotiated lower courier prices for a limited period based on shipping all orders at the same time, but prices in some zones will rise in November. As most of the material is previously released, there's no download but if you buy the Super-Deluxe or Deluxe you get a CD anyway. If anyone wants to buy any configurations not shown, or with other items from our shop, please e-mail us for a price. Finally, we've just half a dozen of the very limited "Super-Deluxe" edition left, we'll be offering these to the public soon but you can still order by choosing your region here. There's a comparison table and a gallery for the different editions.

Wild Swans "Coldest Winter" Deluxe edition

We've recently posted pictures of the top-of-the-range Super-Deluxe Edition (SDL) of our Wild Swans The Coldest Winter For A Hundred Years reissues. and it's a thing of staggering beauty and presence. However the Deluxe (DL) is also gorgeous and will cost around half as much. In addition to the Standard (SD) version, which is "just" (!) a double LP in a heavy-duty gatefold sleeve with inner sleeves, the Deluxe includes the following extras, which are pictured above:

1) A shrinkwrapped CD containing all 22 tracks

2) A poster

3) A postcard

4) A badge

5) A special insert with the lyrics to the title track

6) A specially-printed full-colour outer box.

The DL edition isn't quite as limited as the SDL - though it is limited and only available from us and a few selected partners - and we hope to have stock of the LPs over the next few days (there've been delays at the pressing plant, there's nothing we can do about this, technical hitches, we're told) and we'll then be ready to start shipping them. The SDL will take a little longer as we've had to commission special protective packaging for it, to make sure it arrives safely. 

The Standard 2xLP and CD editions will be available in shops in a couple of weeks' time.
