First: what’s your opinion on them? Likes, dislike, major irritants?
Second: which do you own, if any?
Finally: which ones are the most well put together?

I’m posting this as I read about some new super deluxe reissues.

Abbey road: www.superdeluxeedition.com/news/the-beatles-abbey-road-reissued-for-its-50th-anniversary-across-six-formats/

Ramones - it’s Alive (my favourite life album along with The Who Live at Leeds...but i think that single CD version will do for this one)

I'm kinda split on them tbh. Cost is a major factor. I look at the price tags and just think, well that's X amount of CDs or maybe a few gigs.

I'm totally baffled by fans over excitement to some of them. Best example I can give is the latest one from Metallica; a super dooper re-release of their And Justice For All Album. Great band. Great album. But this box set is jam packed full of utter shite, seriously check it out, crappy camcorder and audio recordings: basically SHIT bootlegs, and endless demo versions. As much as I like ANY song I DO NOT need the demo with vocals, demos without vocals, 1st demo version, 2nd demo version, final demo version, demo version that is now the final version even though the other version was supposed to be the final version, version.........

I do one ONE super box. That of Pearl Jam's Ten. Loved the album & band from first listen. Listened to it going to & from school for practically a whole year. The Super Box came out & at the time was very well priced for the content I thought, was €120 if I remember correctly.

As far as being really well put together, well, check out WOODSTOCK - BACK TO THE GARDEN: THE DEFINITIVE 50TH ANNIVERSARY ARCHIVE; insane stuff............

yes, amazing!! I listened to the 10 CD version a few days ago but the 36CD version is huge
I love the bits of announcements between sets "xxx go to the information booth, your wife is having a baby"

I actually preferred the history box sets bands and artists used to do back in the day. A career overview, singles, album tracks, b-sides, live tracks, unreleased stuff with a massive color book. Does anyone remember those. I have ones on The Who, The Velvet Underground, The Faces, Marvin Gaye, David Bowie, The Jam etc....

Super Deluxe box set, far too expensive. My girlfriend got me U2's Achtung Baby one for Christmas a year or two back. Beside that I avoid them unless they are must buy.

It's nice but was rather over priced. I have Dylan Biograph vinyl box set too. I'll definitely pick up the Abbey Road equivalent.

I have the White Album too, albeit managed to wait until it was discounted to £60 at HMV.

I also have the BHN and As You Were boxes. Also the Libertines comeback album and the TLSP2 album.

Generally I think they are over priced and can contain extras that you don’t really return to very often. The Beatles ones being a bit different as you’re paying to get the new takes on vinyl.

For me, the BHN set was actually good value as we got 6 of the Mustique demos on vinyl plus Going Nowhere IIRC. Stuff that is pretty unique but you’ll actually revisit and enjoy.

The AYW set annoys me as it’s taller than a standard 12” and therefore is a bit awkward to store!

Looking forward to getting the WMWN deluxe set delivered tomorrow

Shoutbox

themasterplanet: A Northern Soul by The Verve! My second favourite album by them. I love the atmosphere of it, it’s very dreamy and melancholic and dark. It holds many memories for me and I think that’s partly responsible for why I love it so much. Sept 6, 2024 18:57:34 GMT -5

AllOrNothing: Up in the Sky sounds like the La's on steroids, especially that Liam Falsetto that I can almost picture Lee Mavers singing with all his big teeth showing Sept 12, 2024 7:52:29 GMT -5

ennex: G'day folks, Sept 21, 2024 4:51:22 GMT -5

Bring It On Dan: I have so much shit on an old hard drive somewhere but I just cannot find it. Nothing 'out there' but probably 200 gigs or so. I can't remember the name of the site that had all the gigs listed and sources for loads of gigs next to it? I remember RKID 003. Sept 24, 2024 17:34:46 GMT -5

mimmihopps: Bring It On Dan, it must be sadsong.net. I don't know if the site still exists. Sept 25, 2024 7:20:44 GMT -5

gottabecrazy: RKID003 was a great resource, they shared a lot there there really. I wish something similar could be up again. Sept 25, 2024 17:50:23 GMT -5

PollyWantsACracker: Been off the site for over half a decade, good to see it still going strong after all these years. Good to be frickin back again eh. I thought of the place after hearing today from a friend that Oasis is back in business again. Sept 26, 2024 17:07:27 GMT -5

RUBIKON: I'm gonna restart the Oasis MP3 Archive is anyone's intersted in helping? I ran it in 2000 to 2002 and was a great site. Used to use mIRC to get all the boots. I'll build the site, just need links to one drives and files. PM me if you fancy helping out Sept 29, 2024 8:31:27 GMT -5

Bonehead's Barber: spooky! Oct 17, 2024 8:13:01 GMT -5

AllOrNothing: Well my Halloween theory might not have been true... I wish the banner came back in its original form
