gibsonfan159 Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 Which is the best of these box sets? I see them pop up on eBay every so often but I'm not sure of the differences. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Well, yeah, but I was wondering which set had the best physical packaging. Just from a collecting standpoint. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

hummingbird69 Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 I know what he means. Just because you can get it for free doesn't mean you don't want the physical product. Some people like to collect boots for the packaging as well as the performance. It comes down to this, which one has the better pics or more interesting package as a whole. All I can say is look online for whatever pics you can find of both and go from there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

This is what bootlegs looked like when I was paying for them. Edited March 12, 2019 by JTM Quote Link to post Share on other sites

[and] fwwiw I use(d) the Zep Art site for my boot CD covers, I'd pick the ones I like(d) the most so for instance an EV might have a Wendy cover. I'm not very particular about matching my downloads to the correct art, this is of course if the download does not come with cover art but these days most do.

For JTM it was last week, I believe he has boots of Niccolo Paganini and Hildegard Von Bingen. Believe me, her performance at Eibingen was INSANE!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It's last week compared to 1973 when I bought my first bootleg. I was sort of taking the mickey out of your "Waaaaaaaaaay back" comment. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sue Dounim Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 I personally prefer The Final Option's packaging but I'll always have a soft spot for EVSD's old Earl's Court boxset Quote Link to post Share on other sites
