Are there any box bargains currently available?


Recommended Posts

oldies.com has a number of 3-CD boxes, apparently of pd material, for $9.98.  Anyone know the quality of the sound?

Comparably priced on Amazon and Ebay.  Essential 20th Century America music, amazing deal.

That’s the records minus the faux-record player packaging, right?

It is CD's without the record player package and without the DVD, though it looks like you can get the record player package/DVD edition used on ebay for about the same price.

Same basic deal for Horace Silver, Freddie Hubbard, Lee Morgan and Jackie McLean (the latter is notable as it includes the, once upon a time, hard to get Demon Dance):

The McLean also includes the spectacular Jacknife, which is also quite pricey on its on.

Spencer Davis Group - Eight Gigs a Week : The Steve Winwood Years (51 tracks) - 6.99 GBP

I own and highly recommend both.  The Lulu is beautifully done, the Spencer Davis is still by far the best collection of that group, even thought it's been around a long time.

Full props for Lulu, and fully stipualted that I know of her output from a series of random exposures and jsut the few US hits, but....what is going to be on 6 CDs?

However, here's another Lulu that is a highly worthy purchase!

This shit might fuck you up proper. I know it did me!

You're gonna get two CD's of her gorgeous Epic work with Mickie Most, etc. including "To Sir with Love", "Best of Both Worlds" and "Morning Dew", all spectacular records.  You're gonna get two CD's of her fabulous work on Atco records, including "Oh Me, Oh My', another fine record, and you're gonna get a CD with two really good mid-70's albums produced by Wes Farrell, which include her take on "The Man Who Sold The World" and other good songs you might not associate with her, but that she does beautifully (5 CD's total).  You're gonna get stunning remastering, and beautiful packaging.  And you're gonna get all that for under $40.  Carpe Diem.

Yeah, that's the kind of Lulu I'd go for...Have the Boulez DG recording but no video. Once saw it live at the Met, NYC.

The number "Du hast eine halbe Million geheiratet" often goes through my head for whatever strange reason.
