You need to enter your email and download code that comes in the box, and apparently it only works once. You do get MP3 and FLAC.
Music Complete Box Set
The 9:07 version of Plastic is pure magic. Not remixes, but true classic Extended Versions!
Loaded Up!
Excellent. Looks like some good versions to look forward to, most are a minute or two longer.
Will be adding them to list.

Wow looks good, can't wait to hear it
Has anyone in the UK actually received their box set yet? Not a dicky bird here in London, no e-mail of dispatch, nothing... and I'm pretty sure I was one of the first to pre-order (from the low order number). More and more of our American and European chums seem to be receiving theirs and have downloaded the digital content (fair play, enjoy! etc) but it's a bit shit the band's native land has been left pissing in the wind slightly.
Surely Mute could have e-mailed box set purchasers their unique download code in advance so they could enjoy the digital copy straight away?
Obviously not.
Also in UK... also ordered as soon as it was announced in June... also not heard a thing...

So that's working out well then🙄

Yeah i've noticed one or two people mention their order number.I never noticed before that i can see how early my order was in the line.Probably a dumb question but which digits indicate the order number? There's a 3 digit number at the start followed by 8 zeros then another 3 digit number at the end.Is it the number at the start or the number at the end? Just curious to know what my order number is.I ordered on the day it was announced - 22nd June.
I haven't heard a dicky about mine being shipped yet and i don't expect i will till the end of the week.I'll probably be out when the postman or courier tries to deliver it on Friday (that's assuming it will be Friday) so won't get it til Saturday when i go to the post office or courier depot to pick it up.

Good point.
I placed my order on 24/06 and there's still no sign of it being shipped. Slightly annoying when you've been waiting over 4 months for a copy..
Also no sign of dispatch yet... Bizarre....
Remember, however, that the US version is probably made in the US and (possibly) has a different cat number? So, a separate manufacturing process...
Maybe the European versions were late in arriving from the manufacturers?

That still doesn't excuse them for not following Ally's suggestion of download codes emailed to everyone simultaneously.
apparently my box set also arrived today. I was not at home and they came back with the boxset. also charged an import duty around $ 110 :(
My box set came today. I had to pay 17.00 duty on it. So I think with the box set, shipping, duty and currency conversion, I payed over 150.00 for this. Sorry Hooky but the song nothing but a fool was written about me not you.
I don't think I got the autograph edition. I haven't open the records to look inside, but nothing on the outside.
No problems downloading the songs. I have not listen to all of them yet, but so far Hatred is my favourite. A nice longer Hollae intro and the song ends with Hollae again. If they ever open a concert with this song, then the extended version is the version that must be played. A nice longer intro works great for this song. Plus Steve added more drumming and there is a instrumental chorus, that lets us hear Gillian's keyboard. Kinda reminds me of the him.
If you thought Academic was to much guitar, well they added a little dance beat to the song. And the bass stands out more. Tutti Frutti sounds just the same, just longer. Superheated just has a instumental into. I was hopping Stray Dog was mostly instrumental, but it's not.

Pointless then really?

Instrumental intro? Yeah i had a feeling that's what they'd do with that one.Like a long Thieves Like Us esque intro? Looking forward to hearing it.

Very true... 👍

Still nothing where I'm at - no email, no box set. This is quite annoying and pretty bad on the part of the online store. I hope I get something by Friday (email / box set).

You're crying because you're not the first one to receive the boxset! It was probably a sad day for you when you have read the tour begin in Paris. J'hallucine...
Some lucky swine received a signed copy.

Only 199 to be accounted for now.....

Eh? Not at all. I'm going to 3 out of the 4 EU tour dates and very much looking forward to them as it gets me off this dreary island for a bit ![[;)]](/emoticons/wink.gif){kind=small}
the only thing I'm "crying" about is not having enough annual leave to do the Paris gig because I'm very fond of that city. Plus seeing the kick off night of a tour is always special. C'est la vie.
My suggestion was if Mute was going to dispatch to different countries a week or two apart then they should maybe include the download code in the e-mail receipt so all fans who spent the cash can get to enjoy the content in advance of receiving their physical product. The box set itself is a curio, I'm sure it's lovely and all that but I'm mainly paying for the digital content which will realistically be getting far more plays than the actual vinyl.
Anyway, I've managed to source a copy of the Extended Mixes from an extremely kind soul and so they'll be on heavy rotation today. What I heard of them on the way into work this morning was very promising indeed; Academic has the sequenced bassline pushed up in the mix and sounds incredible. Very pleased to finally have these. I was dubious when I first heard they'd be doing this but what a great idea... some of these tracks really benefit from being stretched out.
Speak of the devil, my box set dispatch e-mail has just come through from the NO store... a 3 day lead time apparently but if I go to the Hermes site to track the parcel it says it doesn't exist ![[clown]](/emoticons/icon_smile_clown.gif){kind=icon}

Well, I sent off a polite email to their customer service. I was reading the FAQ of the store and it said that "In most cases, your credit card will not be charged until the product is shipped". I was charged back on 9/25, so maybe I'm an exception to their rule? Anyways, I'm just anxious to get the box set....and *hoping* that I get a signed one!

Where did you get this picture? Do you know where this lucky guy is located?
I'm paying the price of another box set only with UPS postage costs. It was very expensive.They could send by US mail without that the UPS service.

The photo was left in the comments on one of NO's posts on Facebook. Just had another look and it seems they are from Canada.
I have had the email as well but the tracking number they have given me does not work. Let's hope it arrives when somebody is in!
I don't think the tracking nos. work until the courier has them scanned on their system. The NO store may have them as despatched on their system, but Hermes may scan them when they arrive at their depot for instance. This happened with the Restless 12". Nothing showed until early the following morning and suddenly it was out for delivery, and by about 11 am on the Thursday it was here, one day early. I'm hoping the same thing will happen.
The CD was a different matter, as that was just sent in the post and ended up arriving late.
Finally received a reply from the New Order Store Support and was advised that my order is currently processing and that once it ships from their warehouse, they'll send an email with tracking. *sigh*
And now color me happy as I just received the shipping notification! Soooo...here's hoping that the box will arrive by Friday.
I just got my confirmation of shipment today. Looks like the tracking number isn't showing up on UPS but that sometimes takes a day to show up in their system.
Do you lot get a digital download of the extended tracks along with the boxset? Hoping to stumble upon it on a torrent sometime in the future.

We do indeed.
No chance of mine coming today it doesn't seem. There's hardly any details showing on the tracking system. Seems it's going to take an extra day this time round.
I got my confirmation last night. Did anyone else get upgraded shipping? I asked for ground shipping (7-10 days), but the tracking shows it will be here today.

I also selected ground shipping and I'll get it tomorrow, which is two days after getting shipment notification. So either ground is faster than originally though or they upgraded shipping.

To each their own. I don't want anyone's scribble (and yes, that includes the band as well) defiling my Peter Saville directed artwork! I guess it's too late now that my box has shipped, but debated sending the New Order store a note NOT to send me an autographed copy.

woohoo, got my boxset today.
will be enjoying it later on..
happy ending to the story.

Mine arrived today too, unsigned.....![[:(]](/emoticons/frown.gif){kind=small}
Given the strength of the colours used in the sleeve design, I was expecting the records to be a little less translucent........
Mine came today as well, not signed though.
Really enjoyed the extended versions, just got to get around to downloading them now
Got mine as well not signed but as a previous poster mentioned, not signed, oh well, it's a Saville master piece so probably best kept plain, I have all the new order members autograph anyway........ Enjoying the extended versions, plastic really improves, but need to listen more on the other tracks only played once up to now. The vinyl is sounding excellent, good pressings to my ears. This really is a great album, every type of release or format is exciting.
