I bought the box set 1973-1983 of his first 10 albums from Amazon a few months ago for about £25. It is now £180 !!

It's sold out at Amazon U.S. and selling on the secondary market for $200. Can you tell whether it's been remastered? I've bought and sold his entire catalog multiple times (fool me once, fool me twice, fool me thrice...). Sorry for drifting off topic.

Remastered at several different times, mostly about 10 years ago. No extra tracks and no live album. Title: Re: Good Times of Old England Box Set Post by: quodlibet (Ian) on March 22, 2022, 10:32:21 AM . Remastered at several different times, mostly about 10 years ago. No extra tracks and no live album. [/quote] From the Steeleye fan site. "The highlights are 2 new live shows - The long wished for 'Rainbow Theatre' (London) show from 1974 and the Boston Berklee Performance Centre (USA) from 1976. A 1982 concert from Adelaide, is also included. This has been available previously on the 1983 (Australian only) LP 'On Tour', and most of it had featured on the 'Gone to Australia' 2001 CD. Further live highlights are 3 additional tracks from the 'Live at Last' concert, including 'The Victory', which has not been available live before. There are two studio outtakes of previously unreleased tracks - 'Singing the Travels (1972) and Devil's Dream (1975). In addition there are alternative 'takes' of various studio tracks including versions of 'New York Girls', with more Peter Sellers Goons 'voices' , Gaudete 'take 1'; Galtee Farmer; Bach Goes Limerick; The Drunkard and finally a couple of instrumentals ('Ups and Downs' and 'Bachelors Hall')" Title: Re: Good Times of Old England Box Set Post by: Nick Reg on March 22, 2022, 10:39:15 AM .

Title: Re: Good Times of Old England Box Set Post by: Will S on March 22, 2022, 10:47:51 AM Having bought a lot of the albums already, it's the unreleased stuff that interests me most, but I doubt it'll be available separately.

Oh, they know this very well. Ker-ching. True but if its the only way commercially to get unreleased tracks out there then so be it, take my money 💰 lol Title: Re: Good Times of Old England Box Set Post by: Phil Perry on March 22, 2022, 04:22:49 PM Still pondering this one... Out of interest, do buyers of such box sets as these tend to get rid of the "superseded" LPs / CDs in their collection or hang on to them out of sentiment / the collector's instinct ?

I used to pass them on religiously. I'm less on the ball these days. Jules Title: Re: Good Times of Old England Box Set Post by: Will S on March 23, 2022, 02:42:25 PM I tend to get rid of them, unless there is something very different (extra tracks, or whatever).
Title: Re: Good Times of Old England Box Set Post by: John From Austin on March 23, 2022, 02:50:18 PM I have a stack of "superseded" CDs waiting to give away or sell to Half Price Books. They're covered in dust...
Title: Re: Good Times of Old England Box Set Post by: mickf on March 25, 2022, 02:33:44 PM I bought the Lindisfarne 'Charisma Years' box. It consisted of their first 4 studio albums plus an extended Lindisfarne Live and several extras, including the US versions of songs that were never released here. I got rid of my original copies of those albums, seeing as it seemed a bit pointless to have extra copies of stuff.

Title: Re: Good Times of Old England Box Set Post by: Alan2 on May 13, 2022, 05:37:22 PM I'm not enough of a fan for this. And if I were, I'd have most of the music already, so buying it wouldn't be something I could justify to myself.
I love steeleye up until around 1974, and I've enjoyed seeing them live quite recently, but I don't need all that later stuff. Now if someone were to reissue a Steeleye album or 2 on quality vinyl....

The first time I saw them in concert was around the time of 'Gaudete'.
