I've ordered mine too....but I'm in the States so it may take a while....But, like everyone, I had hoped for more...like remixes,etc. But regardless, love these two CDs and can't wait to hear them! Too many good memories to pass up.

I ordered mine as well here in the US. I hope that the remixes cd as well as all future HJ remasters will be more moderately priced.

The box set is available on HMV Japan for preorder in December. So much for being limited to 1,000 copies[V] The 12 inch album is also being reissued by Wounded Bird in February and it's just a straight reissue with no remastering.

but usually the Wounded Bird cds sound very good. I remember buying Modern Romance's Adventures In Clubland a while back and it sounded as though it had been remastered even though nowhere was it mentioned.

That track wasn't on the 12" Album.

Got my HJ remasters today. I'm blown away with the sound ! These cds are topnotch and are worth every penny ! Once you hear them you'll feel justified. I too was convinced after spending $40.00 on both cds. No i didn't get the boxset. Human's Lib features the ext. version of What Is Love which was on the orginal UK cd pressing instead of the single mix. The remastering is crisp and immaculate. No loudness factor here at all. Dream Into Action sounds better than ever before. I'm surprised WEA didn't reissue this earlier since it features two major US hits and was Hj's most successful album.

I have been seriously thinking about buying this box set but i just cannot justify forking out £28 for two albums i have already got and a live CD which i have no interest in at all. I just feel they are way overpriced no matter how good the remastering is on them and hopefully when they do get released to HMV, Amazon and the likes they will be sensibly priced. Regarding the 12inch album as far as i can gather its just a straight reissue with no extras on it and no remastering so Pearl In The Shell and Total Conditioning will still be the edits. I still say they should have waited till all the masters were available instead of rushing these out then we could have had deluxe editions in the same manner as those A-ha ones too late now.

got mine today!

I received my copy of the box set, as well. The packaging is superb.

While there are no bonus tracks, at least the sound is great. Walking around listening to Human's Lib takes me back to the days when I literally wore the cassette tape of it out.

One thing to note.. glossy packaging equals finger print magnet!

love my boxed set also; but a hand written numbering system.....really? 'Hey, pass that sharpie, I need to number this special edition boxed set before we mail it.' Really?
