>> Box sets…I dunno, you drool over the idea of buying it for a week or three, then after a drastically boozy and disappointing night out with a bunch of Robbie Williams fans you cave in and fork out a not-so-small fortune (including currency conversion and exorbitant postage) for the Super Deluxe limited / numbered / signed / cubic-zirconium-encrusted / ermine-fringed version (because you’re an ELITE FAN, not because you’re a drunken fool), you wait with baited breath……..six agonising weeks later it arrives but you have to pick it up from customs and pay as much as you already paid for the whole package cos they think you’re trying to smuggle a blunderbuss into the country in parts using a homemade submarine, the bottom corner’s slightly dinged in, so you open it up, go through the mini-posters (that you will never post) and singles and booklet ever so gingerly with jeweller’s gloves and a hockey mask on so as not to smear a cheesy-snack-dust-covered thumb-print on it...then later on that night you’re three songs in and trying not to feel WRONG because they’ve painfully re-ordered songs that you’ve listened to in a particular order since the Nixon administration…and noticing that yes, they have indeed fucked up the mastering and over-compressed it all to shit to cater to gormless iPhone toting kids, and the originals – which you have all of - sound much, much better, just like that bloke who looks like Comic Store Guy from The Simpsons who did the Youtube video where you got into a seven-page-long argument with another fan over a misunderstanding about a piece of trivia which it turns out was about another band anyway, said (pause for breath)…and you swear that’s definitely the last time you ever buy anything a) off the internet b) drunk and c) that you ALREADY FUCKING HAVE, and somehow you STILL manage to get a permanent, prominent, oily, orange cheesy-snack-dust thumb-print right over (insert lead-singer’s) face, which now has cat hairs stuck to it…and you DON’T EVEN HAVE A FUCKING CAT (you’re allergic to cats)….so you stay up for hours torturing yourself by listening to how bad it sounds, but ripping it to FLAC anyway, and you eventually come to the drunken conclusion that you know one thing that can get rid of EVERY STAIN KNOWN TO MAN…so you go off to get your lighter, and that’s when things start to go downhill…
