I'm glad that i did decide to splash out on it already, so I don't feel pressured about getting it now.
Same here!  I was under the impression that it was a limited run of 3000 copies.  |

Box set now deleted apparently - and Muse Music didnt manage to get any copies.
There do seem to still be some around, but if you want it, buy it up now.
If there's indeed merely 2000 of them, Fame Records in Amsterdam stocks 1% of the lot, apparently. Just got it (39.95 Euro). There was a rather big pile of them. |

I've recently been in 2 HMV shops that each have a copy on display - in the Blue Cross sale - 25% off - so £36 rather than £48.
One was in the Liverpool One shopping centre, t'other was Shrewsbury.

If anyone gets stuck, I've got an unopened spare. (I sometimes buy 2 of things like this just in case.)  |

Better get into HMV pretty quick before it all disappears! |

£22.04 - £19.79+£2.25 P&P by the look of it.
A veritable bargain! Well done!

Fond of vinyl, so I may go for this, though Universal's Back to Black series doesn't have a wonderful reputation. Some of the releases are taken from a digital source, possibly a hi rez one. Some aren't- the newest Nick Drake: Pink Moon used the same mastering (john Wood, original tapes) as the deluxe boxed PM. It is, as our american cousins say, a crapshoot, unless you do the homework. An LP reissue done from digital source is, some would say, a nice big black CD. Others might argue it gives you some vinyl warmth. The argument goes beyond my interest, but it's been well rehearsed. |

I have known people that absolutely worshipped Sandy Denny and would, if they could afford it, buy everything put out in her name.
I can't get to that pitch of excitement and in a way I envy those who can. In the meantime, I'll just have to make do with the recordings I have.
April 21 marks 35 years since her death. I know that not everyone wants to move on, but a little movement might be beneficial.

I don't quite worship Sandy, Andy, but I come close. I like her stuff so much but the circumstances of her death, and the memory of it as the first public death which affected me deeply, make her music at once beautiful and unbearable to me. There's some stuff I can do without. I must have been one of the first to 'pre-order' the Big Box, but the first not to keep it because the quality was, imo, so atrocious. I don't have the Thea Gilmore record yet, or any of the tribute albums, but those don't really count. There's a positive and negative aspect to a posthumous legend like Sandy, or Nick Drake. We get endless repackagings of albums we've all got already, which don't SOUND any different, or have been messed up and sound worse, but we occasionally get something which sounds, and even looks, superb, like the Pink Moon box. |
