Haven't got round to buying this yet or even decided if i want it even though i was at the gig.Be more interested in purchasing Kraftwerk's new live release, was looking at the various different formats and versions of The Catologue.Interested in seeing the 3D Blu Ray, my brother has a 3D television so i'll probably get the Blu Ray (either the short 77 minute compilation type thing or the expanded 4 disc set) and watch it on there.
Is this only available online? I looked in my local Fopp the other day and couldn't see any copies, but it's £20 on that website, and to tell the truth I don't want to pay that much for something which I basically already have numerous other versions of most of the tracks on it.
For all the non-pledgers out there, this is now available on Mute records....

Ooh that's a bit more realistic...

For us in Oz Amazon UK seems like the best option; they take off the VAT, charge bugger-all for postage and the whole thing came to $40 AUD. The Pledge version was over $100 from memory
Not out in shops until December -will wait to see just how bothered I am about getting another live album : is the sound quality any good (asking because some of the last few live albums I've bought, the sound has been a bit flat and just - 'meh' (chief culprit being UNKLE at Koko)
Much better then live at London, but not as good as Bestival. I thought it was good overall. I admit to only listening to it all the way threw only a couple times. I really liked Lonesome Tonight. It was much better then the utube versions out there. I did put BLT and Sirens on my playlist. It still gets played all the time. There are 8 songs not on the last 2 live albums. (I’m counting the new BLT as new) So I guess it’s up to you.

I think it's the best sounding official live release they've done.

Cheers Jim, I'll probably get qa copy at some point before Christmas.
Don't know how often I'll listen to this over the festive period, but finally got hold of a copy for £6 (got it online, haven't seen a single store in London selling copies).

Well, in the end i ended up getting both.The 77 minute abridged 3D Blu Ray of Kraftwerk's The Catalogue came through the letterbox from Amazon the same day a few weeks back as when i purchased the CD version of NOMC15 for £10.99 from Swordfish Records in Birmingham.I didn't go for the 4 disc Blu Ray versiom of Kraftwerk's The Catalogue at £100+ (a lot of that price from what i gather is for the book that is included but which is basically still from the visuals which you can get by pausing at any point the Blu Ray? Drop the book from the box set and drop the price eh lads?) as i don't have a 3D TV or even a Blu Ray player, i watched the 3D Blu Ray on my brother's Blu Ray player and 3D tv with headphones to experience the Headphone Surround + 3D experience.Though i guess the full experience would have been getting to one of the Kraftwerk 3D concerts they did (and are still currently doing, touring?) .Couldn't have got to the Birmingham Symphony Hall gig last June even if i had a ticket, sadly.
NOMC15 is ok, only really bought it as i was at the gig in question, Brixton 2nd night November 2015.Good to have the most recent live versions of BLT and WFTSC on CD though would have been good to have them as the way Kraftwerk did their live 3D The Catalogue project i.e remove/edit out crowd noise.That in effect would make the songs a session version i guess.Maybe a bonus disc with songs like the latest live versions of BLT, Temptation and WFTSC with audience noise edited out.
