I remember just before he left the forum he decided he wanted to try David Bowie. So he bought the first 4 Bowie box sets in one fell swoop. Which is at least 50 discs. I have to commend anyone for that blasé commitment to money.
Tbh he was always fair enough to me, like lots of collectors I think he had a place on the spectrum and could take things very literally, but there was no harm in him ever.

he used to get very worked up and angry with the Secretly Society mods on their facebook group when they didn't answer extremely granular questions about their pressings in what he felt was a timely fashion

Pretty much bang on the cogs median!
I’m so glad I saw this in the local, had the money and picked it up back when it first came out. Absolutely one of my favourite box sets in my collection!

We do not talk about the mono box that shall not be named.

Yeah I think they’re all one press and done with the era sets. I think they tested the waters with this one and didn’t press so many. That plus it being his most commercial era meant they sold out and remain in demand. Consequently I think they overpressed the next 4 lol.
Equally this is bowie. He will always be in demand. I’d never rule out something similar coming out somewhere down the line.
The funny thing with this one is, that at least at my local, they sold out, but not immediately. It was a September release and I picked it up quite easily the following January with Christmas money.

Yes. Couldn’t afford that one. Glad I could afford to chip away at them all individually before they disappeared!

that was also a different time in the industry. That Dylan mono box sat around for $100 on amazon for a LONG time. MoFis stayed in stock and were discounted at places like Amazon. I think if they repressed those today at $300+ they would all easily sell tons of copies.

Pre dates me on the forums
That box was like €400 in 2014. That was an absolute shit tonne of money for a vinyl box 9 years ago!

I remember I went with the Stereo released because there were more records and this way I had all their songs... Oh well...

Really randomly I went with the mono for the sole reason that I had bought all the stereo on CDs in 2009 and the excuse was that it was something different that I was buying

It’s okay, I am pretty sure you would think it was in printed inners.

There was talk of reissuing the Re:Call collections individually at one point, but there still would be at least 1 title per box that was only available in the box. I am curious what the COVID and then selling the catalogue to Sony did for the release schedule. Duncan and Tony seemed to be following a preset schedule that David laid out before he died.

i thought it was the other way around? That the Sony controlled 00s stuff was sold to parlophone/Warner so they now had his entire discography barring his disowned debut? That would seemingly point towards them finishing things off in the way they had been proceeding already?

Sorry, got it backwards. Hard to keep them straight in my head. My only worry it that Duncan and Tony are just 'consultants' but I still expect them to finish off the series.
My big concern is that there is almost too much stuff from Heathens forward for a single box but dividing the 2000s from 2010s leaves a pretty thin box, unless there is a bunch of unreleased stuff from Next Day and Blackstar because there is no live recordings after 2006. Supposed he recorded some some 70s and 80s stuff with Arcade Fire as his backing band, but that will be a while before it comes out. Thanks Will Butler, asshat.

I think it has to be one box. There are only 4 studio albums, 2EPs and a single live album as official releases in that period. There’s probably room for the recall and a couple of new things when you look at the size of the last couple of boxes.
