Someone (sorry I don't remember who) mentioned getting it for $140 in Japan. I got the American imported release (black boxed set) in Washington DC from a national chain at $118. So, was the thing actually sold at the $160 list price anywhere, or was it everywhere under list price... I know, I shouldn't conclude anything from only two instances, but I thought it curious. About lots of the box set being in japanese... The black box set I have is quite considerate about printing lyrics and album titles in both languages and I noticed very few English typos. (Except in _Not This Time_ my ears hear "You keep me going/ you keep the shit away" and the typed lyrics say "ship" -- which doesn't make very much sense but the line _is_ murmured and I could be mis-hearing it.) As for translation: find/make a Japanese friend or penpal fellowfan who'd be willing to translate. Anybody else read _Book of Dreams_? I felt so embarased spending all that time thinking Organon was a person's name when it's a place's... By the way who or what is _Gaffa_? I've puzzled over _Suspended in Gaffa_ oodles of time and haven't fathomed it yet. And is the video in any collection? Where can I get _Hair of the Hound_? (audio or video cassette) I'm so happy to discover this group!
