The box set ! 4 years, 7 months ago #1

So what are your thoughts on this one ?
  To be honest my reaction was, "oh no,screw the fan time...AGAIN"
  Due for limited release in the UK on December 3rd a Pink Floyd mini-vinyl  studio box set. Priced at a meagre £144.99p just in time for Christmas.
                            Comments invited ?

A nice collectors item, but £145 to listen to albums I've already bought on vinyl, again on CD, CD remasters, the odd one on 5.1 etc etc. Not effing likely.

I'm gonna buy this and probably keep it on the shelf next to my 20th Anniversary Dark Side Vinyl.  Other than that, I think it's lame to put something like this out when Floyd wont even tour.  Sure they will put out merchandise to make MORE money, but they won't just play 1 show and make people 190847100148x happier and make money that way.  Oh well, it is what it is and it sucks.  But I am a die hard lifer and I will support them any way I can, even if that means spending like 150$ or whatever the box set will cost.

Great minds think alike Nick !
  If you are new to the world of Pink Floyd appreciation then a boxed set is probably a great investment.Otherwise there just has to be a limit as to how often you need the have the same music repeated in your collection.....Ive just reached it when I bought the special edition of Piper a few weeks ago.

yes but don't forget rip-off Britain where something costing $150 in the USA = £150 in the UK
