Far East, Far Out! is a upcoming 6 CD box set on Particles in July. Track lists below. If you're interested, pre-order it on Amazon UK now as they are offering it for just £19.99. I've seen it elsewheree for £29.99, which is more like a standard price for glossy card sleeved clam shell boxed CD set, so this is probably a pricing mistake!

Thanks for the heads up Paul I am so tempted I have some birthday money in amazon so it may well go towards this box set

Hi Paul - long time, no "see"! :smiley:
Thanks a lot for the heads up on this. I haven't been very active on the comp "scene" the last couple of years, but lately I have found myself bitten by the bug once again. I have a lot of catching up to do :upside_down_face:

Hi Bard,
Good to hear form you. Not so many compilations as the 'old days' I think. This Far East set reminds me to get out the 'Singapore Hits of the 60s' box set you kindly facilitated getting for me some years back, along with a shelf full of Japanese elecki and Group Sounds discs. Slinky Dan Electro strings forever!

Paul:slightly_smiling_face:

It's good to see that Particles/Rubble/etc. won't slow down. You can say what you will about their business 'ethics' and occasional lack of quality control, but you sure get a lot of bang for your buck! I also need to check out all the RPM/Grapefruit box sets I've been missing out on the last few years (although I'm not sure how many more comps featuring My Friend Jack and Defecting Grey I need :wink: ).

Hey Bard Cherry Red have a good sale on at the mo I picked up some goodies there a few weeks ago

I'm still waiting for my Far Out box set I think Amazon have realised their mistake as they offered me my money back but I've refused

My Amazon pe-order says 'order received we will email you with an estimated delivery date' but the actual listing page just says 'currently unavialble'. So I assume it is delayed. I've seen copies for sale on eBay over the last week so they do exist but not in a full quanitity I expect. Like most of these Particles box sets, they just turn up at sellers when they're ready. Probably 500-1000 sets made at most.

PM:slightly_smiling_face:

The same thing goes for The British Beat Collection Volume 2, 3xCD clam box set. Due in April originally. No word on that yet either and 'currently unavailable' on Amazon.
