I must admit, I looked at all of this, and WAS tempted…  For about a “split second”… It wasn’t the “price”, for I can pretty much afford anything I “want”, and anything I really “want”, I usually “get”. But, you also have to bear in mind, I’m “Scottish”, “Buddhist”, and live quite a “frugal” life, pretty much, and my “wants”, really, don’t amount to much…  The “love of my life” found out about "all of these" and decided that I had to have “all of them”, and was quite upset when I told her “no, I didn’t need them”, when she was just “one press away” from buying them. She was that “close” to getting them, and then, a very good friend of mine also decided that I “must have them”, as a “birthday gift”, and it took me a good ten minutes to talk her out of it… It was very, very sweet of them both, but I really didn’t need them… Two things made me decide, “no”, and these were that: I really don’t have anything that will play “vinyl records”, anymore; and; I’m not a “Collector” in any “way” or “form”. I don’t need everything that Alizée has ever “sung”, in every “cover”, “box” or “form”, nor do I need every “image” or “movie” of “her” in the whole of “creation”, nor, do I “need” her “skirt”, “dress”, “shoes”, or “anything else” like that…   I wouldn’t know what to do with any of it…  Want a laugh!? Here is a pic of my full “Alizée collection”, barring, three very “treasured”, “favourite” pics of her that I keep on my ‘phone…   Yep, that’s it “all”, all of Alizée’s albums on my little "iPod", which goes “everywhere” with me… I know what she “looks” like, I listen to her most every day, and kind of, “carry her in my heart”, everywhere I go… “Anticlimactic”, or what!? I personally, really, don’t need anything else, for it/they would just “lie around and collect dust”, or be “hidden” in a “bookcase” or “cupboard”, somewhere… And the “mementos” of other “artists” and “people”, that I do have, and have kept, have a bit more “personal attachment”, than your usual “collectors edition whatnot”, or “run of the mill” signed pic, and are generally more of the "nature" of "personal gifts", from "them", to "me"... But that is, "just me"... I would say, however, that, if you are still thinking about getting any of these releases, do it very, very soon, for they ARE going to go quickly, for “hardcore fans” are most definitely going to want them, and, “resellers” are most definitely going to "snap them up", very quickly, to sell at hugely inflated prices, at a later date… Anyhow… Enjoy your purchases when they come, for this doesn’t happen very often… And then, when they arrive, then, there is the "age old dilemma"… Do I open this, or not!? That’s always been a hard one… Last edited by RedRafe; 08-31-2020 at 01:20 AM..

I would definitely open them. Once I get a record player that is. I want to listen to Veni Vedi Vici and ÀCC on vinyl.

I thought too that maybe the long time between them going on sale in late August and them being made available in December was because they weren't sure how this would do and the longer time period would give them enough time to collect enough buyers to make this profitable for them, but right now it looks like this was something they didn't need to worry about. 500 box sets, not to mention the singles would be at least 75,000 euros on the first day! Who needs a dance studio? If she makes about 10 million dollars off of this, maybe that will give her enough money to put a small dent in the huge bill she has for buying Maggy all those toys and dolls?

 Woah, those are some very good numbers! Of course, good for Alizée and everyone else behind the scenes, not so much for those on the fence about purchasing it. These could be gone in a matter of days. Quote:

I'm still trying to figure out what my 'shtick' should be. Photos? Videos? Articles? Right now I'm thinking that making fan art of Alizée would be the best route for making a collection of something, as the pieces can be fully unique and it will cost very little to no money. I've got an idea for a sort of series of original fan art illustrations I can do which I'm very excited about and will post here as soon as it's started. It's still in the concept phase.

there is absolutely nothing “inherently wrong with receiving such a gift”, at all, but it would have been a huge waste of money, for I effectively have all of the “musical content” already, minus all of the “fluff”, of course, which, I will probably be branded a heretic for saying this, doesn’t really interest me that much at all, anyhow. The whole thing would just be a big old, very expensive “dust magnet” that I would have to clean frequently... I will admit, having a “code”, of “honour” and “ethics” is sometimes a total “pain”, and I will admit that there have been “situations” in “life”, with regard to things such as “career”, “employment”, “relationships”, and “friendships”, where being less “rigid”, a bit more “less principled”, or emmm, maybe just a wee bit more “naughty”, would have “benefited” me greatly, in the “long run”, but, it would not have been… “right”… <Sigh> Sometimes, no, a lot of the time, I "do my self no favors", but, that’s, just me… Last edited by RedRafe; 08-31-2020 at 01:24 AM..

 "I confirm that MF and LB are the basis of Alizée's vinyl editions. Everything was decided and approved by them. When will the next part be?" I don't know how this guy gets all this information. I asked him (or her) but there was no answer. I think it was almost obvious that Mylene and LB were behind this, because probably they still own the copyrights, but why "I confirm"? This means that he has some kind of trusted source for what he says. Can a normal fan like us reach that source?

They also apparently have the scoop on how many copies are being sold of the Vinyls. I'd guess that they know about the MF & LB involvement and all other information through Anaphore Music. Not too outlandish to assume some fans have developed those connections to Anaphore, or perhaps Anaphore even reached out themselves to some fans personally.
