Radiohead's In Rainbows Box Comes One Week Early To A Very Lucky Spuffmeister
The day inrainbows.com went live, a message regarding the it's-not-up-to-you option, the super deluxe, bonus-CD containing discbox, read: "SHIPPING WILL BEGIN ON OR BEFORE 3RD DECEMBER 2007." Which essentially meant you were gonna have to wait until 12/3 to start seeing those ultimate-stocking-stuffers start showing up on your doorsteps.
Unless you go by the handle "Spuffmeister."
Mass freakouts abound over at atease.com today, as Spuff the magic message board member let the kids know that, somehow, he/she was delivered the In Rainbows discobox set a week too early. And apparently, he was the only one with such fortune. If you aren't an atease forum member, you can get the quick and dirty here, but you don't need to click a mouse to imagine the plentiful posts begging Spuffy to upload the bonus disc. Rock Daily's reporting that w.a.s.t.e. (Radiohead's little retailing cousin) has contacted Spuff daddy, asking him to resist the temptation to upload the new audio, and “for the order details so that the dispatch company could be bollocked!”
So, no new Radiohead leakage 'til next week or so (unless Spuffmeister feels like being the source of the most easily traced leak in recent memory). But the lucky postal package recipient did throw the rest of us a bone: pics of the discbox. We've got a couple for ya after the jump, but before you go: Honestly, how many of you anted up the $80 bucks for the primo package?

ATTENTION RADIOHEAD FANS: You know that old pervert on Family Guy? You might want to take a look at this...

"Someone mentioned that Thom sounds like herbert from family guy on the song reckoner....it then spoiled my favourite song from their album."
LOL

OF COURSE I BOUGHT IT!
the moment i found out about it
Score = 0
I bought it, as well. Wanted the higher quality and the vinyl. The bonus disc helps, also.
Score = 0
Judging by this guy's pretty low number of posts (if I recall correctly, the one announcing its arrival was 24), does anyone else think that this might just be one of the guys from the band trying to build buzz?

I bought it with my mom. She gets the CDs and I get the vinyl. Looks like I'm going to have to scare up a double disc holder for her though... shucks.

I ordered the box set as a Hanukkah present to myself
Score = 0
i am with Dom on this one. this entire release has been 'marketed' very well in a manner that understands how its primary fanbase operates. i believe this to be right in toe with the hypemachine that has been 'in rainbows'.
Score = 0
'toe' = 'tow'

That looks great...I'm drooling over here.
Does anyone know how limited these are? I might be ordering one for Christmas in the next few weeks.

lol at "building buzz". if there is one record out this year that can not possibly have any more buzz it's this one.
i bought the discbox and i'm wondering why there is such a skeptical tone to the post
Score = 0
my favorite album leak is from the time pitchfork left their file server open to the public

I thought the bonus disk was on vinyl too, guess i didnt read it correctly when i ordered it, oh well it will still be awesome

Score = 0
if this is another publicity stunt, well played sirs. didn't think you could stir up any more mouth foam
Score = 0
What! No leak of the bonus disc?! C'mon man!
Spuffmeister, today's Worst Person in the Woooooooooorld!!! (cue segment of Bach's Toccata and Fugue in D Minor in the background)
Score = 0
the album came out a few days after my birthday so that was an awesome excuse.
also i still really like music in a physical form. mp3s are good but nothing beats taking a cd or record from the sleeve to play and looking at the album art while listening.
Score = 0
Yay...
