Siouxsie & The Banshees box US release?
Poking around at the Banshees' site I see that this is coming out in England on November 29th. Amazon has it listed as an import and I've heard nothing about it here. Anybody know anything?

I do not believe there is a US release date pending in the near future.
I am ordering from amazon.uk. Their price is 25.99 British pounds. You also receive the 15% VAT tax refund if you ship to the US. This brings the price to approx $40-$42 US plus shipping. You will pay less than $50 US for a four CD box. It is unlikely any US release would beat this price if it is ever released here. Amazon.uk has been oustanding in my past dealings.
Thi should be one of the best box sets of the year, even a bit more consistent in content than the excellent Cure b-sides box.

Thanks repoman. Ordering from England will cost me a total of $46.84 as opposed to buying it from Amazon USA who are charging $67.49 + shipping! WTF?

I need this. I only have the 4 'bonus' tracks of Tinderbox on disc 2 and last half of disc 3 in my collection as I became a fan late in their carer. Maybe after the holidays I'll be able to bite the bullet and order it.
And speaking of Siouxsie releases not reaching the US, I noticed while searching Amazon that the UK also got a deluxe Greatest Hits package that included both discs AND a DVD of 14 videos! What the hell? I've been waiting forever to upgrade my VHS of Twice upon a lifetime. Although looking at that DVD I see it's no where complete - it has some older videos I don't have but leaves off things like Last Beat of My Heart, Fear and The Passenger.

I've got both Once Upon... and Twice Upon.... on VHS and would love to see these out on DVD already. I did not realise that the tracks on Tinderbox (one of my all-time fav albums) were in fact b-sides as my disc included them.
