I shall have to pick up the Iain Matthews and the Plainsong sets at some point. For my mega box set Christmas gift to myself I have been eyeing a 20 disc Memphis Blues set from Bear Family for the past year. The price has dropped so here’s hoping!
I picked up the Plainsong box recently too, and am working my way through that (7 discs, including 2 of BBC sessions from 1972 - they must have been on Peel and Bob Harris shows most weeks!). |

It's nice to think that she was, to some extent, our Judy. We've lost some good eggs. Jules |

A set that I have been hoping to see for literally decades. About time too. |

At £250 for 7 CDs, the Springsteen “Lost Albums” will be staying lost to me. |

At £100ish it would have been an instant buy for me but at this price it can gather dust in the warehouse. Ludicrous. I shall enjoy my 7 discs of Bruce's label mates After The Fire for £36 instead. |

I was still thinking Tracks was about £20 and expecting the new box to come in at around £50. Imagine my surprise when I saw the box on amazon, all priced up😱 |

Two major bones of contention: 1) The price is ridiculous, especially the CD version. 2) Why leave out songs such as Joey or Clothes of Sand? Yeah, we have them, but surely they belong here. Jules |

Jules You're welcome. I agree about the CD price, but 100 quid isn't outrageous for 4 LPs plus a book nowadays, imo. Having paid 30 quid each or so for the individual boxed albums back in 2012 /'13, i have to decide whether i really need this, especially as it involves buying 5LL itself once again. Much as i love Nick Drake. |

Much as i love Nick Drake. The CD price is insulting. They'll make only a moderate profit on the vinyl, but an absolute fortune on the CDs. As I've said elsewhere I'm both appalled and attracted by this box. I'll almost certainly buy it though. And almost certainly only listen to it once. I realise I am ill. |

Burning Shed's prices are slightly better for both physical formats.
