Box Sets

[SG]

Malc mentioned in another thread that the Dischord box set was his first box set;what box sets do you own or have owned?

I think I`ve had only 5:
Rolling Stones-Singles Collection(4 tapes)
Robert Johnson-The Complete Recordings(2 cd`s)
Mercury box set of Jazz Singers(4 cd`s)
John Coltrane-The Classic Quartet(8 cd`s)
Louis Armstrong-The Hot Fives And Sevens(4 cd`s)

What box sets do you want to get?

my list:
Joe Henderson-Complete Bluenote
Herbie Hancock-Complete Bluenote
Miles Davis-Chronicle
Bill Evans-Complete Riverside
Thelonious Monk-Complete Riverside(15 cd set )

[AGAP]

Stooges-Funhouse 1970 The Complete Sessions :aliensmile: (6 + 1 single)
Cheap Trick-Sex America (4)
Ramones-Anthology Hey Ho Let’s Go (2)

Lot of reissues I purchase come seperately not in a boxed set, Iggy has a couple new reissues out with bonus tracks, Radio Birdman, soon Dinosaur Jr

On my list currently…none But you never know what will come up

[Pelt Sematary]

Yeah, I wish I had the Nick Drake "Fruit Tree" Box Set, but the one with the FOUR LPs, so there hasn’t been any messing around with "Pink Moon"…, oh and even though I have all the songs on other records, I’d love to have the Ramones’ End of the Decade Box Set…

The ones I have include:

Guided By Voices "Box"
Ike & Tina Turner "Fabulous!"
Elvis Presley "100 Super Rocks" (I guess I need only one Elvis item and this is the one),
and
Shellac’s "1000 Hurts" is also kind of box-ish, although there’s only one LP (plus a bonus throwaway CD) in it…

Sorry, I spoke I half truth. I also own Simon and Garfunkel: The Complete Recordings, but that’s on Vinyl, and I’m without a Turntable right now.

I want Rhino’s Give Up the Funk anthology. Anybody seen this? Its designed to look like a stack of 8-tracks.

On the Dischord-the only complaints I have right now is that some of the video footage is pretty crappy. And I don’t understand why the chose to represent Rites of Spring with "Drink Deep" I’d of chosen "For Want Of"

[SG]

I`d like to have the Guided By Voices box set,though I have one of the discs from it(King Shit And The Golden Boys)I was lucky to find in a used store years ago,they just sold that one but not the rest of the set
The Stooges one would be worth getting there`s a Townes Van Zandt one I`d like to get too.
I`ve had a few 2 cd sets I`ve forgotten about:(in the old double jewel cases)
Tim Buckley-Morning Glory
T Bone Walker-Complete Imperial Recordings 1950-54
Blind Willie Johnson-The Complete
John Coltrane-The Major Works

I forgot about John Coltrane-Live In Japan(4 cd set)

I have:

The Zombies–Zombie Heaven (4cd)
The Chills–Secret Box (3cd)

I don’t know if these really count (all 2cd), but:

Moby Grape–Vintage
Francoise Hardy–Vogue Years
Flying Burrito Brothers–Hot Burrito!
Hank Williams–40 Greatest Hits

I would like to get:

Anthology of American Folk Music (6cd)

The Bear Family label has a shitload of expensive and nice box sets of old country, bluegrass, folk, and rock by people like Webb Pierce, Roy Acuff, Osborne Brothers, Roy Orbison, Bill Monroe, etc, etc that I would like to get if I were rich.

[Pelt Sematary]

Hey, Buckingham Rabbit! I thought I was the only one one these boards who likes (hmm…loves) Francoise Hardy! That’s pretty cool! I have no F.H. box sets, though. And I also forgot to mention that the boxes I talked about were vinyl (the best format, you know). The only CD multiset I can think of that I own would be the BUZZCOCKS’ complete thingy. No wait: I do have an "Initiales B.B." Brigitte Bardot 4-CD-set. Her music is obviously more, say, "shallow" then Francoise Hardy’s, but sometimes it’s quite cool nonetheless. I also own some 7" box sets, like a CRAMPS early demos 4er, the DAG NASTY comp. and the "Eight Songs for GREG SAGE AND THE WIPERS" thing.
