Summary

As displayed in the pictures, we have 3 vinyls per album; For the Gourmandises set we have 1 copy of the standard album, 1 copy of the instrumentals , and 1 for radio edits and/or alternate versions of some songs.

And for MCE, it's essentially the same. 1 copy of the standard album, 1 copy of the instrumentals, and 1 for radio edits plus alternate versions including what I think is the Japanese release for J'en ai Marre, as well as English covers of the ones that have such translations.


Overall a solid selection covering just about all bases of the albums songs. Only other thing that possibly could've been added is a couple of En Concert songs but perhaps there's a Vinyl for that specifically coming in the future, it's not a big problem.

The colours, photos and overall presentations look clean. There was also this photo released today showcasing a snippet of one of the booklets...




That's about all I have to report on for now, what do you guys think of the selection and presentation?

I'm not a expert of vinyls but they seem to be a nice collector's item. And, since En concert isn't included in it, I suppose the organization of the cds is the most obvious, but also the most convenient and functional.
I particularly like the idea of the specific names of the cds, it's a nice refinement. I suppose Alizée's favourite is the 2nd one :

About the booklets, I wonder if 4 pages each are too few...

The only thing I don't like is the 5th cd cover: it's a pity that they didn't use another ''new'' image with Alizée.

Edit:

I saw that a couple of guys on Instagram are particularly enthusiastic about this track:

�� Disc #3 (mint green vinyl) • Gourmadises corsées (Bodied treats)

E1. Moi... Lolita (Original Music Video Band) (4.46)

But I don't understand what it is... Is it the audio from the music video (with people talking)? :/

Thank you so much, Ben.Daly! This is great information, and I really appreciate the effort you went to to post it all so clearly like this. 😊

Agreed, though I think the absence of Alizée in the picture was a deliberate choice to represent the absence of her vocals with it being the instrumental album. So it's a nice touch, but I think a new photo altogether would've been better.

I put the text from the Instagram instead into Google Translate rather than Facebook's and it translates to 'Soundtrack of the clip'.

I'd say you're right with it including the audio of the characters in the music video. That would explain it being the same length as the music video itself, with the exchanges between Alizée's character, the love interest, the younger sister and the mother all included in the Vinyl.

Appreciate the kind words Bamagirl

Some new information about the box plus a couple of photos...

• The scabbard will be equipped with a matte anti-scratch film, and the name Alizée highlighted by a textured varnish.

• With its large size and square back finish, the 36-page booklet will feature an elegant cover called ′′ peach skin effect ", very pleasant to the touch.

It has sort of been asked already, but... who is and who isn't getting the collector's edition vs the two individual albums? I might get the collection. After all, I worked all summer, and particularly so this last month which will be my last as I got a job offer elsewhere, which will mean more income. But... €150 isn't peanuts. It was cute when I was a kid and shoveled snow for the UEDS box set. And dug into my savings for the 5 hatbox. I'm 28 now. I don't know if I can justify €150 for a couple of vinyls and a book when I (like some of you) don't even have a record player and my music collection already doesn't fit on the shelves. I don't know what to do, and I don't have long to decide. I think the items will sell out pretty quick.

I'm pretty sure CleverCowboy said he was in. I'm in and I think Bamagirl is in, but that is a steep price and I have to wonder how many fans can afford vinyl discs they may never be able to play? I think they could've come up with something much more affordable, much more usable, much more realistic.

Can't see them going particularly fast to be honest. How many fans are out there right now ready to drop €150 on a collectors item? I can see them being up for at least a couple of weeks if not even a few months, but if I'm proven wrong and they do sell out fast then that can only be a good sign of interest from fans.

Not yet sure myself if I'll purchase it, there are certainly other things I'd be more wise to spend the money on, but it's being considered.

€150 I think makes sense. The standard Vinyls are €25 each, multiplied by the 6 vinyls in the box set and there you have the €150. There are also only a limited number of copies which adds to their worth, plus the booklet and packaging etc.

They probably expect that a lot of people purchasing will rarely if ever actually play the vinyls and instead simply display/store them as a collectors item. This is an item for that core fan base who they know will shell out some pretty pennies for such a product.

They are definitely expensive. But I believe they will sell out fast for a few reasons. (I'd love to be proven wrong, if it means I can get my hands on a copy though that may not be in her career's best interest)

1. There are many long-term Alizée fans out there. They, like me may consider getting the collection because they genuinely want to support her career and they've been doing so for many years. It's a hobby.

2. Some fans are hardcore collectors, which may end up getting more than one of each. Just take a peek at the Post Your Collection thread on here and you'll get an idea. They also generally collect a lot of other music and memorabilia.

3. Alizée and her magic generate tons of new fans all the time. Some burn out fast. Some last a year or two. But when it comes, the Lilly Bug bites hard. I wouldn't be surprised if recent fans shell out the money after being caught up in the moment. It has been years since her last album release and people want to be a part of it.

The preorders will start in less than a hour. When something costs so much, the sellers usually show many images of it. If they do so this time too, it may be easier to choose for you.

If this helps you, I would consider that box as a piece of forniture. I would expose it in my house as if it was a painting or a statuette. So if you have to put it in a drawer and forget it, I don't recommend you to buy it.
On the other hand, you know that, as you and Ben said, you directly support Alizée, (at least) the box is worth that money and it is even a limited edition. Also, you will get it in December... It would be a nice gift, especially now that you got to celebrate your new job!
It all depends on how much importance you give to what is basically a perfect collector's item, that is something useless most of the times... a part from what it means for your heart.

Edit:

Um... No, they didn't post anything new about the limited edition.

We have a new photo, though.
