Upcoming releases of interest

Sandy's daughter Georgia has posted on (the Sandy Denny page) Facebook that the "big" 19CD box set is to be (re-)released; Georgia will post more details in due course...

Damn. There goes my pension!

Ooof.  At the same time as the mega FC box, this is pure evil!  I'm delighted.

Incidentally, can you post the link please, because I can't find it.

Georgia's comments re the box set are in the 2nd newest post

I don't know what I'm missing but I see this.

"April marked the anniversary of my mom's passing, and I shared a post with Carla to honor her memory on the other pages .
Hope you Enjoy what we Did
Love Georgia and Carla

"Attention Sandy Denny Family and Friends
Today marks the 21st of April, a significant date as it is my mother, Sandy Denny's Day of Passing . Although I never had the privilege of knowing her, I am filled with gratitude and feel fortunate to have inherited the beautiful gift of her music. I am touched by the countless individuals who continue to honor and celebrate her life.
Being Sandy's daughter has not been an easy journey for me. The absence of her presence has often left me feeling desolate. However, my battle with cancer has granted me a new perspective on life. I now find solace in managing my mother's estate and the various projects associated with it. This work allows me to feel closer to her, especially as I delve into the creation of the new Sandy Denny album, "Songbird". Collaborating with the talented Carla Fuchs and other wonderful individuals on this project has brought me a profound sense of accomplishment and love.
On this special day, I humbly request that everyone light a candle and listen to your favorite Sandy Denny songs. Let us collectively honor, love, and respect her enduring legacy and the remarkable contributions she made to the world of music. Our goal is to preserve her flame and introduce her extraordinary talent to those who have yet to discover it.
In honor of this occasion, I have sketched a portrait of my mother alongside some poignant lyrics from "Full Moon", while Carla Fuchs has graciously created a beautiful cover of the same song. Your comments and respect are deeply appreciated.
Here is the link to Carla Fuchs version of my mum’s -Full moon

Enjoy
Thank you for joining me in commemorating the life and music of Sandy Denny.
All Our love Georgia ,Carla and the SD Team "

So I'm still not seeing anything about the box set....?  Can you cut and paste what Georgia wrote please?

I wish they would re-release Sandy’s cd box sets, they are so expensive, but the music is so beautiful.

Thanks, Paul.  No idea why I couldn't see that but I couldn't.  I'll be really interested to see what price these go out at.  If it's literally identical to the previous release I'll definitely be in.  In the meantime I wonder if there will be a firesale of the existing copies for sale.  I actually know of someone who paid £850 for one only 7 months ago.  Ouch.

There's a still sealed one on Discogs for £150 less than that at the mo.

There's also one for £1973.  I'm not sure what this proves (apart from the fact none of them will be selling to anybody who is aware of this news)

I might go for it this time,  if they rectify the faults it was prone to last time- broken trays etc.

How much was it the last time around ? (To almost quote a Sandy song)

[Peter Allen]

I bought a sealed copy from Amazon in July 2011 for £207 , so I'd assume the release price in 2010 was below that , someone will know

The production cost of a like for like reissue , depending on the volume being produced,could be stratospheric , given all the posters/ re-printed first piano receipt included first time

I seem to remember being told (by someone with very close links to AB who put it together) that every copy lost money...but don't take that as gospel.

Re - Sandy Box Set 19cd
First time around - Universal’s recommended retail price was around £140.

Release date was 1st November 2010 , UK Amazon had it at £149 at that price

[Jules Gray]

I paid £148.93 according to Amazon.

I paid £148.93 according to Amazon.

Which is £222.40 today (Bank of England inflation calculator).

Somewhat lower down the league tables of re-release costs, I've just nabbed a near-mint copy of Beefheart's "Safe As Milk" album (Buddha label remaster incl bonus tracks) for £1.99 + p&p!!

I think I paid 14/6d for my old vinyl copy... from an electrical retailer who seemed to stock a small and random selection of records.

I recall paying about £150.

And yet my upper ceiling for what I will pay per CD has not changed a penny.

It wasn't the same electrical retailer that I bought my copy from was it?  Just up the road from Chorlton-cum-hardy bus station.  He Has a small and random selection of second had records.  I'm certain I paid less than quid for it.😉

Kynaston's, St John's Road, Waterloo, Liverpool 22. Long since closed. Owned and run by 2 brothers, one of whom was at school with my Dad.  I also bought Jefferson Airplane's "Bless Its Pointed Little Head" from them.  But the main local outlet for gramophone records was Myerscough's in South Road - which also sold prams, pushchairs and bicycles - I bought DSOTM, Pictures at an Exhibition and KC's Earthbound from them on those LPs' release dates.  Happy memories!

But back on track - I'll be heading into Badlands in Cheltenham tomorrow to buy Ship To Shore and Can's Aston 77 albums...

I think you would have bought it from the old Marble Arch rack. A good source of albums by Donovan and The Kinks as well as Kenny Ball and old blues artistes. In fact anything that had been on Pye.
