  • CD Box Sets

    Lately, I have become addicted to buying CD box sets. I'm not sure why, but they seem to be really cheap these days. Maybe the record companies have been worried enough into giving consumers a good deal.

    Today's haul was:
    • Bob Marley – Songs of Freedom (4CDs)
    • Jimi Hendrix – Blue Wild Angel (Live at the Isle of Wight) (2CDs + 1 DVD)
    • Woody Guthrie (5CD set)
    • B.B. King – Anthology (2CDs + 1 DVD)


    In the last few months I have bought the complete Janis Joplin, the 22CD set of Stravinsky conducting his own music (which was less than 20 bucks), the Led Zeppelin Box Set, the Nirvana Box Set, the Police Greatest Hits Box Set and a 4CD set of Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young. And to top it off, the best of them all: the Box Set of Live at San Quentin by Johnny Cash, which includes the whole concert (with Carl Perkins, the Statler Brothers and the Carter family tracks) and a DVD.

    Anyone else noticed that these things have become cheaper lately, or have a box set they want to recommend? I'm thinking of getting the Grateful Dead set, which is quite expensive, but has an incredible amount of music on it. Gotta fill that 80GB iPod somehow..

    I think the're cheaper because the've been out for awhile. The record companies could get more money for them when they were new. Now they can't.

                I got Gasolin': The Black Box for Christmas a couple of years ago after incessantly dropping hints for it for weeks beforehand. It's the only box set I own, but my, does it bring back the memories.

                    Even better, I've got the ABBA Picture Book Box!

                    If memory serves me right, The Black Box has sold >150,000 copies. That's pretty awesome when you think about it, for a 9 CD set in this small country.

                      Yeah, that is a lot - especially considering it's a pure 70'ies band.

                        Thing is probably impossible to get for under 1000 Kr. these days.

                              I have the Metallica Live Box. I've had it for years. A record store in my home town was selling them for NZ$40 each.

                              For anyone that loves music, the Cash Live at San Quentin is amazing.
