JethroTull Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 (edited) Jethro Tull - 20 year anniv, an unbelievable collection of unreleased stuff. Good luck finding a copy. Jethro Tull - 25 year anniv. Not as good as the 20 year, but it contains most of the infamous November(or was it December) 1970 Carnegie Hall show. Great booklet. Jethro Tull - Nightcap, not officially a box but it contains the aborted A Passion Play sessions, plus what remained of the unreleased Tull. Elvis Costello - his first 3 lps with bonus tracks, plus live CD. Nick Lowe - The Doings, a 4 CD retrospective. Great booklet. Leon Russell - although not officially a box, it's a great 2 CD retrospective. Great booklet. Bruce Springsteen - Tracks, 4 CDs of unreleased treasures. The booklet is weak as are most of the Springsteen tour books I've bought. Deep Purplel - Machine Head, not officially a box. 2 CD's. One all songs remastered with bonus track(s) and two all songs remixed with alternate guitar solo's.. Nice little booklet too. George Harrison - this was expensive, about $120.00. All of his Dark Horse releases, plus a DVD of videos. This one is due a listen. Edited February 6, 2008 by JethroTull Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JethroTull Posted February 6, 2008 Author Share Posted February 6, 2008 (edited) A complete tracklist of those JT sets would look good here don't ya think JT??! :) :) Rob I'll see what I can do. Without sounding too arrongant, the 20 year box (released in 1988) set a standard of sorts for digging up unreleased studio and live radio tracks.

Jahfin Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 If something is two discs I don't consider it a "box set" with the exception of the second Led Zeppelin collection. Then again, I'm not sure how box sets are technically defined. For instance I have all of the Dylan albums from his Bootleg series but only one of those is three discs. For the interest of space most of these are 3 discs or more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cletus Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 This is the only one I own so far. I think Box Sets are a waste of money when they're made up of songs already available on all the officially released albums(unless I don't actually own the albums and don't plan on getting them).
