Yes...as someone that paid full price when it was released I definitely remember it being sold for under 100 bucks.

Day 6: Play a boxset

I was going to cheat and play a 1 LP box set, but changed my mind. I hadn't heard this for a while anyway.

If you can find one locally, it's a great set. The first 2 albums are in mono...and the 3rd may also be, but I can't remember.

The Sonics ‎– 50
Etiquette Records ‎– LP 2050, 2015

Black Friday RSD15
3 LP box set includes the 1st 2 albums, "Here Are The Sonics" and "Boom!". "Volume 3" is a ten-track collection of rarities.

Bright Eyes - The Studio Albums 2000-2011



I ended up picking the set that had the most dust on it

Day 6 - luxuriate

Led Zeppelin - The Complete BBC Sessions

IIt's not just that I don't have time to play this normally, I also don't have much opportunity these days with everyone working from home as my girlfriend is strictly anti-Zep. So while she's out today I'm taking the chance to crank this up and listen to golden period Zeppelin as it should be.

Uh oh, I have exactly two box sets and this is one of 'em, so I better start my other one soon before it gets scooped too.

wow...only 2 box sets?

 

[BjorgenFjorgen]

wow...only 2 box sets?

Yes, plus a live one I already played. I don't have a huge collection and there aren't many artists I feel the need to have box sets of, especially if I've already got some of their albums a la carte.

Talking Heads - Brick

The booklets are great and there are quite a few extra tracks.
I've always been lukewarm on the 5.1 remixes on the DVDs.
