Or does the UK CD come in a slipcase, too? The UK CD is a plain red box (one of those single-width boxes which holds two CDs), all the artwork is on the "slipcase" which isn't one of those robust things like the "University" limited edition, but just a plain cardboard sleeve (rather like the one which wraps the Bob Dylan "Albert Hall" album). The fancy metallic ink is quite nice, but not a patch on the Irresistable Force's "Global Chillage" album from a few years ago. > And let's not forget that Dedicated has a tendency to release "very > limited" items and then repress them ad nauseum, so it's not like > they've got integrity to burn, either. The live album doesn't mention Dedicated on the cover, and the card which came with it was for the Deconstruction label. I have a feeling that Spiritualized are/were the only "active" band on Dedicated, which used to have a fairly wide-ranging roster (Global Communication, The Family Cat) but hasn't released any non- Spiritualized records for ages. All part of the giant BMG empire, anyway.
