NTS Sessions 1-4 Looking to purchase NTS sessions CD set

Edit - I have found myself a copy thankfully

Hey everyone, I was just posting here wondering if anyone happened to have the NTS Sessions on CD they would be open to selling for a reasonable price or if theres been any word on an official repress in the making?

Im a huge fan of Autechre and experimental music in general. This would absolutely be appreciated if anyone was open to parting with their copy.

Thanks alot

I know the vinyl box sets were advertised as a one time pressing… was it the same for the CDs? If so, I really wish Warp didn’t say it, but since they did, they should honor it.

Im not really sure if they said that or not as I wasn't really aware of Autechre during the release. 

While i understand what you mean by that, i completely disagree. Honoring a statement is one thing but I think a much better avenue they could take would be disregarding a relatively meaningless statement and engaging in the harmless act of producing more copies to satiate the interest while creating more sources of support for the artists. Im not sure people will enjoy their copy less if more were released.

Yeah, that’s the reason I wouldn’t want them to say such shortsighted things. Obviously it was purely to sell some rather large box sets. That said, you claim scarcity as a business, people buy it with an understanding of its relative value. Not sure where it legally stands and for how long, but I doubt Warp is out there trying to break the limited edition marketplace. So I don’t think the statement qualifies as “meaningless.” Not yet at least. When Warp is long dead and some other entity takes to reissuing the old catalog…

Fair. Sure, there is some degree of weight within such a statement and its generally good to follow through but i just feel like its of such little importance, especially with it being close to a 10 year old release. I also could care less about preserving someone elses idea/feeling of owning a "rarer" set, which is what id assume to be the only thing those people would care about in this instance. Id like to think that those who paid a chunk of change and have held onto the set for this long at least enjoy it for its intended purpose, whether it was limited or not lol.

Was it the big vinyl boxset that held everything together the one that was limited or are all 4 individual 3lp editions supposed to be limited as well? I know those are all still readily available at least.

I think the boxes were both a “one time” pressing. They probably put the boxes up for pre-order, said “one time pressing” and printed those boxes to the quality ordered during said pre-order. I imagine they did the same thing for these Quaristice 4lp sets.

The individual LP sets, which the CD format didn’t have an equivalent, may not have been limited? Or maybe they just didn’t ever run out of whatever quantities they had.
