It is, but I assume you'd be waiting around quite a while for a standard edition. I am a little confused why they did it like this as it has pushed the price up and probably put off some of the more casual collectors, though I have just ordered a copy as I'm keen to see more Trnka and want to support the prospect of more in future.DeprongMori wrote: Tue Nov 10, 2026 6:28 pm Is the only special feature of this “limited edition” the slipcase?
If so, as lovely as the slip art is, I’ll probably wait for the eventual standard edition.

Isn't the higher price only due to it being a 2-disc set? Previous 2-disc Second Run releases (Park Lanes, Days and Afternoon, Desire and All My Good Countrymen) have been the same list price: £29.99.
I don't think it's a case that there will be separate LE and SE releases. Just that only the first 2000 copies will have a slipcase.

Correct. The £29.99 tag is just for 2-disc sets.
The slipcase is an addition we decided on, but the price wasn't affected. The same with our forthcoming Ben Rivers Vol. 2 set which is also a 2-disc-er with a slipcase.
When the slipcase edition sells out a 'Standard Edition' of the Trnka set will follow at the same price, it'll be exactly the same but just won't have the slipcase.
