Good luck! :) Reason I'm being cautious is there was an unauthorised reissue of SFA's Rings Around The World planned on coloured double vinyl. The band didn't authorise or endorse it and as a result it got pulled.

Yep I'm starting to wonder if it's legit. Seems odd that Autogeddon is the ONLY item on their website too. I wonder what the rights situation is with the Echo albums (was Echo swallowed up by another company?). And did they 'remaster' from the original tapes or have they just EQed a rip of the CD?? Who knows. Maybe someone at HH?

Not really sure what the point of this box is. The Peggy and Jehovahkill reissues came with a slew of unreleased tracks. This just repackages stuff most (all?) of us already have. Don't think the album is in particular need of a remaster, either. The new photos and expanded liner notes by Mick Houghton are somewhat enticing, though. If your old copy of Autogeddon is in need of a replacement, getting the 2-CD w/book version might be a good choice. But the box seems like milking the fans.

A bit more info would be good, there's a few other things on their facebook page which has 41 followers unless it's a whole new side project for the main company.
This is 'apparently' their main website which looks legit,

A tiny little part of me died.
Still have the perfectly fine Autogeddon CD. The Paranormal CDEP. The other tracks on the Floored Genius Vol 23.
Horrible.
Pick up a fine 1990s copy of the Cd for £2 on eBay. Blag the rest from any of us here. This isn't needed. By anyone.

Here's a Steve Hillage boxset they put out a while back...seems to have favourable reviews. Website looks like one of those massive media conglomerate corps that cover all bases.

Yeah, I saw that's what's offputting as it's kind of two businesses using the same name which doesn't make much sense to me.
I'm sure they're fine, just looks 'odd'

"Need" is a highly relative term. Products exist and we buy them based on our wants. No one can truly judge anyone's frivolity over their own.

I wasn't judging anyone. Truly or untruly.
I just think we need to be chopping down fewer trees and creating less future landfill. We all have this stuff. If not- get a copy from eBay for pennies and blag the "rare" stuff from anyone on here.
The school I work in has recently taken to issuing every diner's salad, sauce, coleslaw, carrots and sundry vegetable accompaniments in seperate, individual plastic containers. A colleague arrived with a tray bearing her chips and beef stew (in a polystyrene box) alongside FOUR additional plastic containers (each the size of your fist) bearing her sundry healthy accompaniments. All totally un-necessary. Not needed. Could ALL have been put on a washable plate with a washable spoon. All served and eaten with disposable plastic cutlery.
Part of me died seeing that too. I didn't judge her for the lunch she had bought. It cost her less than £2. What a bargain for us all. The plastic is here forever and no-one charges the canteen a penny for generating it and not dealing with its disposal.
