Platinum Member Username: ArtkAlbany, Oregon USA Post Number: 13702 Registered: Feb-05 | Interesting list. I especially like that the Apple discs are back in print. Also have some interest in the Hendrix and Dylan boxes. This CTI box is my favorite of 2010. http://www.amazon.com/CTI-Records-Revolution-Various-Artists/dp/B003YVNZ2M |

Gold Member Username: DmitchellOttawa, Ontario Canada Post Number: 4554 Registered: Feb-07 | Anyone heard the Hendrix collection? I wonder what the sound quality is like. The Black Sabbath box set looks cool too, although the big black crucifix probably won't fit on my CD rack. |

Bronze Member Username: PigmanPost Number: 12 Registered: Jun-10 | The JH boxset can be had for $28 at costco and its worth every penny.Nuck has my copy and i know he's liking it. Aaron |
|
Gold Member Username: DmitchellOttawa, Ontario Canada Post Number: 4557 Registered: Feb-07 | Cool. Thanks Aaron. |
|
Bronze Member Username: PigmanPost Number: 13 Registered: Jun-10 | costco also has the Springsteen box for about $40 and the stones ltd ed set with movie for $65. It sometimes pays to have a membership Dave(beside ribs). Aaron |
|
Gold Member Username: DmitchellOttawa, Ontario Canada Post Number: 4558 Registered: Feb-07 | LOL... I'm off all next week. There's gonna be a rib-fest one day next week at my house. I've burned through 3 bags of Fast Eddy's since Nuck was up last. I may need to order a palette from you. |

Bronze Member Username: PigmanPost Number: 14 Registered: Jun-10 | They also have Lennons dlx box(8 cds) for $124. Aaron |
|
Bronze Member Username: PigmanPost Number: 15 Registered: Jun-10 | Dave a pallet of pellets is not a problem,you will probably need a case or 2 of spice also.lol Aaron |
|
Gold Member Username: DmitchellOttawa, Ontario Canada Post Number: 4559 Registered: Feb-07 | Yup! Almost out of spice too. I put in on everything. My son loves it. |

Platinum Member Username: Jan_b_vigneDallas, TX Post Number: 15678 Registered: May-04 | . My favorite box set of the year; http://www.membran.net/en/Editions_Label/Box-Sets/John_Lee_Hooker_-_Blues_Is_The _Healer_2955.html I found it new at HalfPrice Books; http://www.halfpricebooks.com/ for $5.98. For under $0.75 per dic, there are no fancy covers and no booklets, just Hooker music (no matter what name he was recording under at the time). These are not "audiophile" remasters, the first track is obviously taken from a scratchy 78RPM disc, but you can never have too much Hooker in your collection and you could have several "best of" Hooker CD's and still not cover his full output. For digitally remastered versions of Hooker with more content check this site; http://blindman.15.forumer.com/index.php?showtopic=19509 That link also includes other box set titles. For a good all'round blues set, I've never been disappointed by any of the Blind Pig anniversary sets; http://search.yahoo.com/search;_ylt=A0oGdXuWexNNQeYAxsZXNyoA?ei=UTF-8&fr=slv8-hptb5&p=blind+pig+records+anniversary+collection&rs=0&fr2=rs-top Pick your flavor of blues and sit back for a few hours of great music. . |

|
Gold Member Username: MagfanUSA Post Number: 1962 Registered: Oct-07 | Any reviews of the Led Zeppelin Box Set? |
|
Bronze Member Username: PigmanPost Number: 16 Registered: Jun-10 | Jan that looks like a great set,and thats a great price. Leo i have not heard any talk about the zep set,hopefully it is good. Also costco up here is selling the Beatles stereo box for $129 as of a week or two ago. Aaron |

Platinum Member Username: NuckPost Number: 15637 Registered: Dec-04 | Any chance one of you friendly Americans can score me that Hooker set for 6$? Or maybe Mike should borrow it to save for safety's sake... |
|
Platinum Member Username: ArtkAlbany, Oregon USA Post Number: 13709 Registered: Feb-05 | I don't think the Hooker set is still available for $6 is it?. |
|
Platinum Member Username: Jan_b_vigneDallas, TX Post Number: 15680 Registered: May-04 | . Like I said, I got my copy at HalfPrice Books which sells cutouts and overstocks. I can call around and see if any stores still have a copy available. Who wants one? |
|
Platinum Member Username: Jan_b_vigneDallas, TX Post Number: 15681 Registered: May-04 | . I've located three copies at three different stores. If you want them, I'll have to try to pick them up tomorrow or take my chances after Xmas. |
|
Platinum Member Username: ArtkAlbany, Oregon USA Post Number: 13711 Registered: Feb-05 | I'd take one in a heartbeat. Can't beat the price and the material is beyond reproach. |
|
Platinum Member Username: NuckPost Number: 15643 Registered: Dec-04 | Yes, I would much appreciate that JV. Indeed Art, the material is very top drawer! |
|
Bronze Member Username: PigmanPost Number: 17 Registered: Jun-10 | Jan if you can get one me and Jamie we will go 50/50 on a set. You made my x-mas all that much better,Thank you. Aaron |
|
Gold Member Username: StryvnWisconsin Post Number: 1249 Registered: Dec-06 | As long as you're going to be out anyway, Jan, pick up the Apple box set and the Dylan set for me please. Nuck will send you a check. Thanks guys! And Merry Christmas!!! |

Gold Member Username: DmitchellOttawa, Ontario Canada Post Number: 4565 Registered: Feb-07 | Dear SantaNuck. I'd like the Black Sabbath boxset too. |

Gold Member Username: Stu_pittStamford, Connecticut USA Post Number: 4255 Registered: May-05 | David, Not sure how much the new Sabbath box set costs, but it looks like the Black Box from a few years ago. I think that one was $90 or so. It has all the original Sabbath CDs, a DVD that kind of sucks, and a decent book. The Black Box is by far the best sounding Sabbath stuff I've heard. Worth every penny of the price I paid. I wouldn't doubt it if it's the same thing re-packaged. PM me about it |

Platinum Member Username: Jan_b_vigneDallas, TX Post Number: 15692 Registered: May-04 | . Art, did you receive the PM I sent asking for your address? Nuck, I need your shipping information. . |

Platinum Member Username: ArtkAlbany, Oregon USA Post Number: 13733 Registered: Feb-05 | Hey Jan, Nuck forwarded my addy. |
|
Platinum Member Username: Jan_b_vigneDallas, TX Post Number: 15697 Registered: May-04 | . Nuck, I think about you everyday when I walk past that big McIntosh book. And every night when I pray to God my old turntable survives another day in your house. KEEWRRRASHHHH!!! BANG!!! SLAM!!! CRACK AND SPLIT!!!!!!!} (sound of loose parts rolling around on the floor) "SHEEEEEIIITTT!!!!" "That didn't work out like I planned." . |

Gold Member Username: StryvnWisconsin Post Number: 1251 Registered: Dec-06 | lololololololol....... Rebuttal? |
|
Platinum Member Username: ArtkAlbany, Oregon USA Post Number: 13735 Registered: Feb-05 | I think you can forget about the turntable, Jan. Demand pics for evidence...just sayin'! |
|
Gold Member Username: DmitchellOttawa, Ontario Canada Post Number: 4576 Registered: Feb-07 | I sent emails a while back JV. I sold the tt to a true vinyl lover a little while back, I could not justify the space in my little place. Plus the arm rewire after the last faux pas induced me to give up my ham-fisted vinyl ambitions for something less costly. |
|
Platinum Member Username: Jan_b_vigneDallas, TX Post Number: 15713 Registered: May-04 | . I'm confused, DM. A senior moment? Did I loose track of a decade? Where are my teeth? Where am I? Explain please. . |
|
Gold Member Username: Stu_pittStamford, Connecticut USA Post Number: 4268 Registered: May-05 | Maybe Nuck logged in as David? |
|
Platinum Member Username: Jan_b_vigneDallas, TX Post Number: 15719 Registered: May-04 | . Nuck? David?! Oh, Lord, now I am confused!!! . |
|
Platinum Member Username: Jan_b_vigneDallas, TX Post Number: 15720 Registered: May-04 | . Art, I haven't heard from Nuck. I sent you an email to the address you provided above. Let me know if you don't receive it in a few minutes' time. |
|
Gold Member Username: DmitchellOttawa, Ontario Canada Post Number: 4577 Registered: Feb-07 | LOL. Nuck and I are actually separate entities. He logged in using my account, it appears. Don't ask, don't tell. |
|
Platinum Member Username: ArtkAlbany, Oregon USA Post Number: 13751 Registered: Feb-05 | I got your email and replied, Jan. Did ya get it? |
|
Platinum Member Username: Jan_b_vigneDallas, TX Post Number: 15723 Registered: May-04 | . Yep! I'll get that out the first of the week. Nuck, send me your address. . |
|
Platinum Member Username: ArtkAlbany, Oregon USA Post Number: 13752 Registered: Feb-05 | Thanks, Jan. |
|
Platinum Member Username: NuckPost Number: 15657 Registered: Dec-04 | OK, really, WTF? JV has me on spam or something, I have emailed for months. Don't make me call... |
|
Platinum Member Username: ArtkAlbany, Oregon USA Post Number: 13764 Registered: Feb-05 | Does the phone have a spam alert...lol! |
|
Platinum Member Username: NuckPost Number: 15659 Registered: Dec-04 | Maybe the Do Not Call list? No maple syrup, no hockey... |
|
Platinum Member Username: Jan_b_vigneDallas, TX Post Number: 15724 Registered: May-04 | . The email address I have for you has been verified as being correct, Nuck. All I've ever received from you though are group mesages, nothing directly from you. I can't find anything from you anywhere in my system. I got your call from last night and I'll contact you this afternoon - if I have the right phone number. I never thought it would be this difficult to give something away. . |
