| Well done Paul! I still can't believe what a msseid opportunity it was to exclude practically EVERYTHING he's done around that time with b-sides and such.If the box set was priced at around 60 bucks I'd shut up, but 140 bucks is a ripoff! Which begs the question: should the price be based on overall music and video content or the quantity of physical material included such as books and large numbers of CDs and DVDs?Because I believe if they released just 1 Blu-Ray Disc they could've included both the concert and the documentary (like Primal Scream's Screamadelica Live blu-ray release) and in higher resolution than the DVD (maybe even included a 5.1 mix if there was still space available?)Besides, will the book be worth getting? My guess is it will include lyrics, a bunch of random photos of recording sessions, live stages and very little literature.My dad recently gave me as a gift the U2 Achtung Baby Super Deluxe box set (which I haven't opened yet) that includes a 90 page book, 6 CDs and 4 DVDs and art prints, available for the same price, 140 bucks. I know it doesn't include the LPs like this release does, but I guess those could go for 30 bucks if sold separately, right? Even though the extra material is not that great (too many remixes and I have no idea what was the point to include the follow up Zooropa) it was included after all in the box. |
