do you own any boxed sets? which are worth buying and why? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I own a led zepplin one, and a classical music one... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no, but i might boy the nirvana one that is comming out... i also say a nin one... but i am not sure about it |
||||||||

i own the pink floyd box set (9 cds) its nice but i guess you're already gonna have all the albums anyway... and its incomplete (no piper, aarrggh!) it comes with some nice postcards and a big hardback book which is very nice though so thats some compensation) i also have the syd barrett box set (3 cds, flimsy book, nice place under cd to hide drugs) & the adam & the ants box set (3 cds,very nice, lots of rare stuff, i recommend) to be honest, i'm not really into box sets. they very rarely give value for money and you usually have about half the stuff already on other cds / albums |

i have 2/3 of the depeche mode singles boxed set...i was planning on buying part three, but never got to it. :( |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

I have: Metallica: Live Shit: Binge and Purge, which is 3 CDs and 3 videos The Who: 30 Years of Maximum R and B, that's 4 CDs Led Zeppelin: Complete Studio Recordings, it's ALL of their albums, 9 of them. The Rolling Stones: Singles Collection, The London Years, 3 discs I dunno if this counts, but I have the 8 video Beatles Anthology Bob Dylan: Biograph, the 1997 version, 3 discs... my uncle just gave me this a while ago. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
A good number, but I don't feel inclined to state which. There's a Joy Division box with six of their records in it--pretty cool. :) |
||||||||

Jimi Hendrix box set, 4 cds and a big booklet, good but I dont know if its really necessary to own. i also have Tool - Salival, I still want the nin -fragility dvd. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
although i guess thats not really a box set either....there arent really many good bands with box sets mostly only onld bands(but if your into older stuff mostly then i guess its your sorta thing) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Sometimes I wish you could just buy the books that come with box sets seperately... my uncle has hundreds of box sets and I could just spend all day in his basement reading them... but I have most of the CDs already. I want those damn books! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
What keeps you from buying an actual book at a bookstore? ;) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh yeah, how the hell did i miss the best one: Dischord: 20 years 3 cds, big booklet, I really like this, booklet is great. if your into the dischord stuff i reccomended but i dont reccomend it if you already have a lot of the bands cds already. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
if your only familiar with a few bands and like it all I reccomend it a lot. i think its $25 from dischord.com , so id check that out. |

i only have: xen cuts (ninja tune 10 year anniversary) which almost isn't a boxed set - 3 discs and it doesn't take up too much space nin and all that could have been deluxe edtiion - again, doesn't take up too much space, and inside the nice cloth packaging it's just two discs tool salival vhs version - i should've waited a few months till i had a dvd player. very bulky and for a band like tool they really were pretty stingy with the rarities and live tracks. for the size of the set it should have at least three discs including a whole concert. i considered getting joy division heart & soul but i chickened out i guess. i'm not a big enough fan of the smashing pumpkins to get the aeroplane flys high; instead i had a friend burn all 5 discs onto 2 cd-r's. i should've gotten the pink floyd boxed set but in some ways i'm glad i didn't. some pink floyd songs really annoy me. it's mostly roger waters' fault for his singing and lyrics. in my dreams there are boxed sets of unreleased tracks by nin and afx... |

I enjoy the Steve Reich boxed set. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|

||||||||
|

I have the Smashing Pumpkins one "The Aeroplane Flies High" great 5 disc set, very cool, had unreleased songs and shit "Set the Ray to Jerry" great boxed set |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah aeroplane flies high is really good too, forgot about that one/ |
||||||||
|
|

the otis redding box set... the smashing pumpkins arent good this reminds me of the time when my exgfriend told me that her cousing was going to buy the "boards of canada" box set...hahah - NOPE old music is cooler than new music |

The Nuggets box set is truly amazing, all the 60s garage bands, 4 discs with 30 tracks on each disc, never tire of listening to it. and a Hardfloor remix box set, 4 disc vynil in a flip top box. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oooooh, almost forgot, the Trojan boxsets are essential, got the Rocksteady boxset and the Ska one, marvellous |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I have the "toy story, the ultimate toy box" box set on DVD |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
"the smashing pumpkins arent good" hum....... care to share? I personally find that box set terribly well done. Not super duper amazing, but very refined and exciting. Had lots of new stuff, lots of classic stuff from MCIS, so yes, please expand on that thought |

I've bought a box-set twice in my life--and it was the same one - The 3CD syd barrett box set that dobbin mentioned, with all the outtakes and the booklet...Sadly, I lost it both times :( |

If you think that's bad, I also lost my entire Doors and Pink Floyd collection of CDs too :( And the collections were just complete for the doors, and complete up to The Wall for Pink Floyd! gRrr |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
dood, what are you doing, carrying your CDs around with you? how do you loose box sets, then entire collections!?! goodness! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
DOOD! *appolgies for that in both posts, my head is hung in shame* |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'm a very absent minded kinda fellow, Echo---they just DISAPPEAR when my back is turned!! I lost all those CDs about 8 years ago now, so I've overcome my grief =b |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh, well good for you, it is hard to move on from loss, but you coped well it seems. I just don't understand where they all would go? trolls? |

i'm a little lazy so i'm not going to type the exact name of the box sets but these are the artists i've got box set by. police emerson lake palmer nick drake moody blues manheim steemroller doors-black one enya-book of dreams led zep.-complete studio works john denver steve reich john adams i would say that the three best here are steve reich, john adams, and nick drake all three of these are worth picking up. or in reality saving up for. |

I have the Nightmare on Elm Street boxset. I know it's not music but it's great. I don't have any musical boxsets but if they ever release that Nirvana one they're talking about then I'll get that. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
That's the American one by the way. The English one is missing two films and doesn't have the bonus disc. |
||||||||
|

I have the lock stock & two smoking barrels boxed set- inc. script, cards, directors cut, poker chips, crocodile skin effect case etc. I don't have any others, I'm not a big "collector"... |
||||||||

I bought that Spiritualized 12 x 3"CD box, sucker that I am. Haven't opened it. I have 5 bjork singles & video boxed sets which look mighty nice but completely fail to fit on my CD shelf. Also have a Pulp box with the first 4 albums in it which cost me a tenner :) Don't go for boxed sets that much really though. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I know someone who toured with Spiritualized. He was their Trumpeter. Maybe I should have put this in the Useless facts thread.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Sheeeit!!! I have to get that boxed set, pronto! Hopefully I'll find the one that you left lying around somewhere. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hehe :P on slsk you can get the bonus out-takes - which is all it's worth getting for :) |
||||||||
