[SR] 2008.11.25 - MoRA [CD, DVD Box Sets]

[ShadyNook]

I thought all RnU's had the mole and dvd? I have the Japan and "Overseas" version and even the overseas version has the mole decal.

anyways, the vids are cool, you get to check out Ringo's big, firm...

clavicle.

Slightly pointless observation but MoRA being released on November 25th is the same date that Ringo no Uta was released on!

[Lena-chan]

cause is Ringo's birthday o.o

[Tokyo Jihad]

fail =p

[Ringo~Bingo]

A complete fail considering the birthday was like 2 weeks ago.

(I'm useless with all the dates and stuff)

Hello everybody

Didn't read all the 45 pages so i don't know if anybody posted a picture of it already.
This is what the content of the MoRA DVD-Box looks like:



The sound chip reacts to light (going from dark to bright will activate the "sound".
The pink art-card reads "SHÉNA RINGÖ" in the "impressed" way braille does.

Yaaaay! The DVD box arrived! And it's actually a DVD box this time!
Came with a letter of apology too. Damn straight, HMV, damn straight!

I'm a bit disappointed that I didn't get either of this....

oh well...

I think this release, in retrospect, would have been a lot better if she did this like Tori Amos did her A Piano Box Set. Granted, Ringo doesn't have as much work, but what Tori did was create 5 discs that was a mix of alternative mixes of album tracks, unreleased studio recorded tracks from each era, a disc of b-sides and demo's to showcase the songwriting process and how songs change in the first incarnation to the final, and everything was remastered. No album was presented in its entirety except for her first debut album, Little Earthquakes, which was presented in the original format and tracklisting as she intended, everything else is mix and match from different eras so to get any full release you have to actually buy it, but this release combines remasters with alternate mixes, demos, b-sides, and unreleased tracks, so it makes it a must have release for any fan. It also came with a huge book of commentaries by Tori and the packaging actually looked like a piano keyboard.

Ringo's release just looks pathetic compared to it and it retailed for almost the same price.

...which is why nobody said Tori did the box set just to cash in on her fans. MoRA's been accused of that several times. But I have to admit, it IS pretty, on the inside at least - the packaging itself isn't really gorgeous

Glad you finally got your stuff from HMV Jesse!, for a moment it was looking as if you would be disappointed!
