The individual albums came out on low-cost CD's. I got them all for under $5 each. Amazon has three of the four for $7.98 with free Prime Shipping (Waiting on the Electrician, How Can You Be in Two Places, I Think We're All Bozos). Only Don't Crush That Dwarf is pricey, and that one is cheap on importcds.com and on discogs. Or you can get Shoes for Industry, a 153-minute 2-CD "best of" (includes the entire 28 minute Nick Danger), for under $10. There's a lot of cheap used copies of all of these cd's around on ebay and discogs. The most essential one is "How Can You Be In Two Places at Once", but all have moments of brilliance.

Not always. I find downloads to be grossly overpriced in many situations, and can often find a used CD for less than the cost of a download of the same music.

The ones I bought from the website like 15-20 years ago sound legit to me, not like needle drops.

I like the fact that it a CD is an object I can hold, collect, display, organize, look at. I like the artwork and often the liner notes and other info. I like that CD's are a commodity, I can resell them if I don't want to keep them, helping defray the cost of chance-taking and of upgrading/downgrading to a different set of the same music. I like that I can "own" a CD, a file doesn't feel the same. I also prefer physical books to ebooks/pdf's for some of the same reason, plus they are more enjoyable to read for me. I am totally willing to accept that mine are subjective preferences and that there are benefits to the downloads/ebooks.

When I have listed CD's for sale here, members have made it well worth my time, plus it's a joy to interact with others on the exchanges (unlike ebay, etc.).

And Amazon is not for small sellers, really nasty terms as far as fees and length of listing. I sold one CD on there, said "never again". Have not tried selling on Discogs, haven't had the time. I go through seasons where I sell on ebay, when time permits, and do OK there, but haven't sold on there in six months. I find available time to be the biggest barrier to selling CD's and vinyl. Suspect it will be a good retirement activity for me if I ever actually get to retire.

Same here, CD's only. I own one download - the Hannibal Marvin Peterson album on MPS.

I still buy them, filling in gaps. 50s to 70s are my eras of interest.

Yes, great set!

Thanks for sharing, I am sooo in for the 2CD release!

Count me in due to the '75 recordings. Have so very much of the '64 European recordings already, I'm not sure what another set could tell me.

Had a recent CD reissue in Japan, a year or two ago. Agreed, great record.

That's a great Mal Waldron. No idea how I cold pick just one of his from the decade. The Peacock is also one of the greatest Keith Jarrett albums, greatly aided by Peacock's writing, opening different vistas for the Jarrett/Peacock/DeJohnette trio.

That can be a good thing.

You aren't. I have also.

The $35 CD price tag is what held me back from immediately jumping on this one.

The three volumes of "Live at the Boston Tea Party" have that feel to them, with two versions of Rattlesnake Shake each over 24 minutes, and surprisingly good sound. Peter Green/Danny Kirwan leaving this planet for glorious parts unknown, while Jeremy Spencer stands around befuddled, thinking about his Elmore James collection.

Would like to pick this up at some point, as I love her music. A bunch board members in this area attended her concert at the Philly Art Museum several years ago (2008, apparently), and it was a great evening of music.

$31.15 + $2.49 shipping from importcds.com where I pre-ordered mine. Yes, dive in. Very different group pre Buckingham/Nicks, and actually quite varied just across this set. 'Then Play On' is their Peter Green/Danny Kirwan masterpiece, guitars blazing. The most famous cut is the great "Oh Well", but there are many excellent cuts across the album. Green then exited, and Kirwan and Jeremy Spencer headed the lovely 'Kiln House'. Spencer then exited, replaced by Bob Welch, with Christine Perfect (who became Christine McVie) joining from Chicken Shack, and Kirwan shone on 'Future Games' and 'Bare Trees', his unique writing and performing coming to it's apex. Kirwan then exited, and three lesser albums ('Penguin', 'Mystery to Me', 'Heroes are Hard to Find') were recorded with Welch and McVie out front. Even those have their moments. Welch then exited, replaced by Buckingham/Nicks, and the rest is well-known. There were actually three blues-rock albums prior to the albums on this set, but these are the albums where the early group sprouted wings. I own all of these albums on CD already, but am getting this set for the remastering and bonus cuts. Also, the history of the group during this period is fascinating, with Green, Spencer, and Kirwan all having significant strange situations involved in their exits. Danny Kirwan is one of the most underrated/underrecoginzed talents in rock history, was a true original. Adding in "Sands of Time" as an example of the utter beauty he produced at times.

Can you give more detail on those? Google search came up empty.
