TEN BEST & WORST BOX SETS (In my collection)

[@bigbadbillb]

"Message in a Box" by The Police is superb! Contains pretty much every note of music they ever recorded.

[@salters]

Dylan Biograph ..One of the earliest and best ❤️

[@davidlynds9483]

the book of lyrics that either came out around the same time or was a companion book is also a must have!

[@jeffbebe5085]

I agree. Great box and liner notes written by a young Cameron Crowe. Notice the photo. Its Bob and Bruce together. Great photo. One of my top 3 box sets.

[@StonefieldJim4]

Hear, hear!

[@mellotronin54]

The Jethro Tull box sets are all very good I have about 8 the extras are all good and have live concerts and a great informative book in the set.

[@basswars7060]

My first box set was The Byrds. Hearing Crosby, Hillman and McGuinn singing together again was pure magic.

[@Altres]

The two Tangerine Dream box sets recently released are pretty wonderful. In Search of Hades and Pilots of Purple Twilight both hold classic releases as well as outstanding unreleased tracks, complete concerts, the Oedipus Tyrannus work, unreleased soundtrack work etc Both essential

[@blatherskite3009]

I'm a little bit miffed that I missed getting the Purple set at a reasonable price, but I just couldn't justify it for what would've been, if I was honest, mainly for The Keep soundtrack ... which I already have 3 different unofficial CDs of.

[@DarkSideOfTheMoule]

I can vouch for that. I got the Pilots of Purple Twilight because it had The Keep soundtrack on it and the booklet is great.

[@RobGretsinger]

Absolutely! Great sets.

[@Titus9508]

Absolutely, worth every penny.

[@jeremyhayden2878]

What a terrific, thoughtful and well articulated segment of your show. ….very insightful. One of my personal favorites is the Faces box set Five Guys Walk Into A Bar.

[@BruceColon-BSides]

The new Revolver stereo remix under headphones is a revelation. Love it.

[@jimbelton]

ELO's Afterglow is a great one. The original Led Zeppelin boxed set from 1990 was essential when time came to be rid of the all the vinyl.

[@MrCherryJuice]

'Cash grab' and 'Jimi Hendrix' resonate loudly these days, thanks to his family administering (and asphyxiating) the Jimi Hendrix brand. Greed is the vampire of the music industry.

[@tatedavis2016]

The only thing I’ll say is that LA Forum live album recently released is absolutely killer.

[@MrCherryJuice]

@@marktait2371 I work in Music Industry marketing so have some sense of costs associated with short run products like box sets. Despite high prices I doubt if anyone is getting rich off of these, simply because the money goes in a hundred different directions. Indeed, those selling them secondhand or as 'collectors' items are the real profiteers.

[@MrCherryJuice]

@@tatedavis2016 So I hear. Still, the Hendrix estate, which last time I looked was fighting within its own family ranks, needs a kicking.

[@michaelivan9066]

One thing I will say is they have kept the prices on his actual studio recordings very affordable.

[@MrCherryJuice]

@@michaelivan9066 True. This is smart as there is the need to entice newcomers, which are typically curious kids, often those getting into playing guitar. The pricier items target the fans who already have the studio albums. I would like to see a proper box set of studio albums. And one of live albums.

[@SuperGrumpyDaddy]

The Kinks are The Village Green Preservation Society set is awesome. LP both mono and stereo versions, plus original Swedish 12-track LP (different song list), 5 CDs featuring mono, stereo, og sessions, bbc performances, out-takes, alt versions, etc, etc. 3 7-inch singles in picture bags, 52-page hardback book, posters, photos, sheet music, kitchen sink and trouser press! I might be lying about the last two! Anyway a fantastic boxset of a brilliant album.

[@markharwood7573]

The Joni Mitchell set is tremendous. It's been put together with great care and attention to detail, combining thoroughness with a pleasing flow of songs and without excessive repetition. You do get to hear how some songs developed; what you don't hear is embryonic versions that nobody really wishes to hear twice. Any fan of early Joni will treasure this release.

[@leegriffin1584]

The first box set I bought was Nick Drake - Fruit Tree. Still listening to it now.

[@papalaz4444244]

[@shanedalton3326]

My first box set was the CD version of the original David Bowie Sound + Vision from 1989. Magnificent box set.

[@johnlangdon4338]

I have 9 of your top 10. Missing only the Blondie set. Love them all. I agree with you on the Zappa set. I bought the Electric Ladyland for the 5.1 mix, but I agree that it's overpriced.

[@klcheshire]

No arguments from me. I have most of your "best" and even a couple of your "worst". You summed it up quite well. Thanks for another great vid.

[@StonefieldJim4]

I love the Who's Next/Lifehouse box. A treasure trove.

[@PaulFormentos]

Who Sell Out box is great as well, lots of cool outtakes

[@rathert3]

@@PaulFormentos Yes, and plenty of the singles as well. Absolute killer, up there with 'Who's Next/Lifehouse' but not quite. Saw The Who tour Who's Next in August 1971 and they were absolutely amazing.

[@lorrainebennett7528]

Some brilliant stuff here! I was born in 1959 and so lucky to have heard this amazing music! 4 Way Street by CSNY is a favourite of mine.

[@chrisschrecker5497]

Great choices!!!!! Check out the Be Bop Deluxe boxes. (Sunburst Deluxe is my favorite).

[@theshowycaesarshow9257]

Revolver box set absolutely fantastic!😊

[@kieronkelly959]

I’m a massive Prog Fan and love Stationary Traveller. Camel is probably the most underrated Prog band, along with Caravan.

[@staggerlee6794]

Purchasing box sets is the one part of my music collecting I am very strict with myself about. I have not the storage room nor the money to indulge myself in getting stuff I am either going to get around to playing only once or never at all.

John Martyn, "Ain't No Saint" - so many gems

The Jam box set, is brilliant.

[@martins.7060]

My reaction was omg

[@MadHatters-pv4xx]

Love the new opening graphics!! Gotta love a box set too!

[@finch45lear]

I love the Stones SDE of’Goat’s Head Soup’ CD edition . The surround mix on the Blu Ray is outstanding. The photos and book are excellent. The Beatles in Mono Cd box, The SDE CD of the White Album is packed with studio outtakes and having the demos in stereo from George’s master tape is a joy.

[@themadmattster9647]

First box set I ever saw was a Springsteen one my parents owned, it was the live one released in the 80’s(?), all vinyl

[@63mckenzie]

Revolver would be top of my list.

[@mickb44]

stationary traveller is in my top 5 camel albums so yes i agree,will be getting the box set soon thanks barry

[@Jason.Brayshaw]

I have the original Pet Sounds box set from 1997. The revised edition looks fantastic!

[@seed_drill7135]

I prefer Rhino’s various artist comp boxes to these deep dive focuses on a single album. Monterey Pop, Nuggets, UK Nuggets, Girl Group Sounds and the LA and SF boxes are probably the favorites in my collection.

[@christianclausen9969]

Love all the various Nuggets box sets, especially enjoying "Children of Nuggets," since I'm a child of the 80's

[@kenfrederick6223]

Great video. Two of my favorite CD box sets are TASTE -"I'll REMEMBER" and MOTT THE HOOPLE - "MENTAL TRAIN". Both are highly recommended. Take care!

[@goliathsmall2911]

I'm still waiting for a Picketywitch box set. One can hope

[@mvjonsson]

Some of my fav boxsets are the two Tangerine Dream In Search of Hades and Pilots of Purple Twilight, the Hawkwind Space Ritual box, the Zappa 200 Motels box, the Black Sabbath deluxe box sets of Paranoid, Vol 4, Sabotage, Technical Ecstasy, and of course the Jethro Tull boxsets (I have some of them such as A, Broadsword and the Beast).

[@grahampaulkendrick7845]

That Hendrix set has a nice cover.

[@johnw706]

First off , you're not the only person who loves Stationary Traveller . I'm a big fan of it myself , It's a great album . For me , the Tull box sets are the gold standard , and if you buy them when they come out , they are reasonably priced . Cheers !!

[@Roadie-1963]

My favorite has to be The Moody Blues "To Our Children's Children's Children" 50th Anniversary Edition. The new stereo mix sounds other worldly and their Royal Albert Hall show, which the band never really wanted to be released, jumps out of your speakers with a lot of presence, magnificent remaster and mix. The booklet is nice but mostly photographs I've seen on the internet or are already in my collection. This set is just as good the "In Search of the Lost Chord" box set but better. I really hope that "On The Threshold of A Dream" receives the same treatment. Why it was skipped over for this album instead doesn't make much sense as it was a number #1 album for The Moody Blues, even Justin Hayward has said it was the the band's signature album.

[@Nephilim-81]

I think the best boxset I currently have is “In Search of Hades” from Tangerine Dream. It is 18 discs with 2 blu-ray audio albums. Comes with a beautiful hardback book complete with quality artwork and terrific liner notes. ❤

[@stevedotson1263]

No. 1 in my collection is "Robert Johnson, The Complete Recordings". Unbelievable.

[@MosherBear]

Sabbath's box sets for both Sabotage and Technical Ecstasy are fantastic. Also worth giving a shout out is Def Leppard's early years set (79 - 81), Sabbat's Mad Gods and Englishmen and Therapy?'s Gemil set.

[@crazyprayingmantis5596]

Def Leppard suck

[@themadmattster9647]

The Def Lep is definitely cool, to me their early stuff was the best and it’s a cool package

[@MosherBear]

@@themadmattster9647 agreed. Hysteria was my entry and also exit, not that I mean that in a put down. I had moved on musically but those first four albums are fantastic, though I prefer their early work.

[@samuraix73]

I think Sabbat should have included the "Mourning Has Broken" album on the box set. Yes, I know that the band has disavowed that album, but it would have been nice to have all the remastered studio albums in one box.

[@MosherBear]

@@samuraix73 I can go along with that. Seeing that they broke up shortly after it's release and nothing had been recorded when they reunited, it would have been fitting to have that album included.

[@EchoesDaBear]

Good rundown of your collection! I'd love to have a few of those! (Revolver being one) My box sets (at least my vinyl ones) are reserved for Rush. I buy too much other vinyl (used & reissued new) to have much monetary flexibility on too many other bands' box sets. Of the several 40th anniversary releases I have, Moving Pictures is my top pick - the inclusion of a never released, complete concert of that tour, in YYZ (Toronto) was worth the hefty price alone! 4 LP's of our Holy Trinity from Toronto in their arguable prime playing to a home crowd is incredible! Runners up are the 2112 and Farewell To Kings sets! Perhaps the one disappointment is the recent Signals release. The inclusion of the 'singles' on 45 seemed a weak offering considering what 'vault' material likely existed! Cheers!

[@Megamanic-nw9ni]

King Crimson - Larks Tongues in Aspic or Road to Red? Floyd's Dark Side or Wish you were here Immersions?

[@threadsoflifebooks1878]

Not sure if you have it, but Pink Floyd's The Early Years is number one with a bullet, for me. The sheer wealth of material put into that set is amazing. There are several of the live albums I play regularly.

[@kevinbossick8374]

I love that one too. But was surprised there was not more to it. Can’t get enough of the early years live.

[@ewanm1326]

Zappa Roxy is a must have gem. What a band!

[@nickpatten5263]

As usual I love your honest a detailed reviews and along with you I too love Camel’s ‘Stationary Traveller’. I find box sets very expensive sometimes but if you find a good one it is usually worth all the extras contained within such as the David Bowie set you showed us.

[@williamlangan5902]

I will have to check out Stationary Traveler at your suggestion! So the Who’s Next box set is that good? I’ll have to check out its goodies! I must’ve been quite good the year the Revolver box set came out! Santa (Fr. Christmas in your neck of the woods) surprised me with it!

[@chriswoolfenden2631]

Great vid, thank you. I only own 3 box sets (all on vinyl): Springsteen & E Street Band Live 75-85; Eric Clapton Crossroads; The Original Fleetwood Mac the blues years.

[@alfietomkins7829]

Barry, I love Stationary Traveller too. It is definitely an overlooked album in the Camel catalogue, love it and I absolutely agree with your number 1

[@edgarbaumann6002]

Pink Floyd "Early Years" and Tangerine Dream "In Search of Hades" are both amazing.

[@moodlefyful]

Been enjoyable the Mark Knopfler studio albums 1996 -2007 cd boxset...some fantastic songs and geetar playing.

[@stevealvanos6592]

Stationary Traveler is in my top 4 Camel albums. There is something about - for me - that just grabs my attention. I can't start the album and not listen all the way through. I'll be definitely looking for their box set.

[@larrysmith5249]

One of my favorite Camel albums too. Very underrated imo.

[@mccallosone4903]

both jethro tull 20th, and 25th anniversary box sets were fantastic. that led zeppelin box set from the early 90s was great too

[@jswissman702]

The Black Sabbath Super Deluxe box sets are in general really nicely done.

[@eggboy-uk]

I'd be interested to know how the stereo mix of Pet Sounds has been done. Back in the day, there was no proper stereo mix, the original stereo release was artificial duophon stereo. I'm also ever so cautious about remasters. There have been some truly ghastly digital remasters over the years, mostly done simply to sell the album again to people who already own it. I did some analysis of frequency content and dynamic range of some remasters versus orginal masters a few years ago. Surprise, surprise, most of them had been through the same "sausage machine". The top end is usually lifted at around 6kHz, the bottom boosted below around 200 Hz and the ever so important lower mid range scooped around 240 - 500Hz. And of course, compression added to increase the "loudness". Added to this, a number of remasters didn't even use the orginal master tape, which in some cases is either lost or irretreivably damaged by sticky tape shed syndrome. Not all remasters are bad though - the Beatles mono analogue remasters on vinyl are better than the originals, as is the recently released Little Feat Dixie Chicken set that includes a recut of the orginal album from the original master tape. Worth getting that one if you don't have it Barry.

[@Don-md6wn]

The 3 Tom Petty box sets released since by his estate are all great - An American Treasure, Wildflowers (expanded) and Live at the Fillmore. It is apparent that they put a great deal of thought and effort into them, led by his daughter Adria, his wife Dana, former producer Ryan Ulyate and Heartbreakers Mike Campbell and Benmont Tench.

As much as I love the box set, you could make a case that there was too much stuff on it! Not every live recording is very good in quality, but the albums plus the booklets do wonders overall in covering Gentle Giant's career.

My favourite set is the David Bowie Sound and Vision clear vinyl box set. Superb attractive design.

[@williamlangan5902]

Happy birthday next March, my friend! While I’ve only heard a few Joni Mitchell albums. Blue is a masterpiece. I liked what I remember from Hjira and the Mingus tribute. Hunky Dory is a classic. What I remember from The Beach Boys’ Pet Sounds is fantastic. Favorites from that include the mix of God Only Knows with a saxophone and Trombone Dixie (really a brass arrangement of The Little Girl I Once Knew but still a nice instrumental). One library had The River box set. One mistake I made was not watching the video. I did listen to some of the rarities. Given the chance again, I’ll check it out and give myself 3 weeks to enjoy it! While I sometimes disagree with the Boss, I’m not ashamed to say I love him, especially his work from 1973 to 1985. Even the later stuff has some stuff I like. So nobody can say Bruce didn’t get any love from me. Besides, he blew my mind when I saw him in 2000! Songs From The Wood- wow, that’s an album you either love or don’t care about. And I’ve heard enough to find it intriguing!

[@guyaustin309]

The Hissing of Summer Lawns. Up there with Blue as my favourite Joni album. Amazing lyrics and great jazz musicians. Apparently Prince was a big fan of it.

[@stevenphillips400]

The best box sets I have acquired are mostly jazz. Miles Davis On the corner ,Henry threadgill mosaic box set, The Jazz crusaders box set and Mose Allison box. The weaker box sets I have are the Original Album classics which contains no extras or booklets. Just the music such as the Mahavishnu Orchestra, Duke Ellington and rock music such as J Geils Band and the Rascals. I do have a really nice box set of Michael Nesmith that contains 12 albums.

[@grahamnunn8998]

I also love Stationery Traveller, I saw the tour in Worthing a few nights before the live film.

[@arto2533]

Neil Young's Archives Volume 2 is quite remarkable for the sheer quality of the music. The retail version is even good value for the money, for those that don't care about fancy books and such.

[@jasonsmith-bm1sv]

I would definitely include the "The Smile Sessions" Beach Boys box set! Also the Bob Dylan Basement Tapes 6 CD set is quite excellent. Then there is the Who Sell Out set that is almost the size of the Who's Next one. I have to agree that the Revolver set is remarkable. Although I was slightly disappointed that certain songs like Good Day Sunshine didn't get represented with studio session takes. Hearing John's demo of what became Yellow Submarine was rather earth shattering, wasn't it? ;-)

[@robertwiesler381]

Springsteen 'Tracks' is the best of all time (he could have made 3 or 4 million sellers out of it) AC/DC Bonfire Stones Totally Stripped But in my opinion it is better to spend your money for live shows (tickets, travelling, hotels), because nothing beats the live experience By the way: Great shirt Greetings from Austria, my friend

Yes! I love Stationary Traveller, Barry. It has a very APP sound to it (Camel borrowed a number of the same session musicians and vocalists, such as David Patton and Chris Rainbow, for this album), and my school years were quite Alan Parsons-oriented. It also harks back to the mysteries and tensions inherent during the Cold War - Berlin, in particular. The title track is magnificent.

Hi! first time posting from the Pac NW. I thought I'd jot down my equivalent top 10 and a few honorable mentions. KIng Crimson - Lark's Tongues in Aspic box (not the 50th), Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here, Tull's - Minstrel in the Gallery (due to the first 3 songs are the best 3 in order on any Tull recording), The Beatles - Sgt Pepper. (just the surround sound DTS5.1 mix is incredible to hear the players separated on individual channels), Roxy Music - Roxy Music, The Dead - The Golden Road, BJH - everyone is everybody else, Genesis Boxed 1970-75, and my fave the Steve Hillage box which is such a huge labor of love. The book alone is terrific with many laugh out loud moments. -Jeff M.
