AaronG Posted June 14, 2020 Report Share Posted June 14, 2020 So, I can get King Crimson "On (And Off) The Road" for about $106 total right now on ImportCDs versus at DMG for around $150. My question is can ImportCDs be trusted shipping an LP sized box set? Cheap is great but not if it comes damaged. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My question is can ImportCDs be trusted shipping an LP sized box set? Cheap is great but not if it comes damaged. I've bought a few box sets from them, mostly classical. I wouldn't say they arrive in perfect condition. One had a pushed-in corner, another had a lid with a tear in the corner. I never received one in damaged condition, more like disappointing condition. I don't think they take the greatest care with padding the inside of the shipping box. Still, their prices can be great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are my go-to for most CD's these days. I ordered the 10 CD Woodstock set from them last year, and it was perfect when it arrived.

Should I take the plunge on the whole kit and caboodle? $31.15 + $2.49 shipping from importcds.com where I pre-ordered mine. Yes, dive in. Very different group pre Buckingham/Nicks, and actually quite varied just across this set. 'Then Play On' is their Peter Green/Danny Kirwan masterpiece, guitars blazing. The most famous cut is the great "Oh Well", but there are many excellent cuts across the album. Green then exited, and Kirwan and Jeremy Spencer headed the lovely 'Kiln House'. Spencer then exited, replaced by Bob Welch, with Christine Perfect (who became Christine McVie) joining from Chicken Shack, and Kirwan shone on 'Future Games' and 'Bare Trees', his unique writing and performing coming to it's apex. Kirwan then exited, and three lesser albums ('Penguin', 'Mystery to Me', 'Heroes are Hard to Find') were recorded with Welch and McVie out front. Even those have their moments. Welch then exited, replaced by Buckingham/Nicks, and the rest is well-known. There were actually three blues-rock albums prior to the albums on this set, but these are the albums where the early group sprouted wings. I own all of these albums on CD already, but am getting this set for the remastering and bonus cuts. Also, the history of the group during this period is fascinating, with Green, Spencer, and Kirwan all having significant strange situations involved in their exits. Danny Kirwan is one of the most underrated/underrecoginzed talents in rock history, was a true original. Adding in "Sands of Time" as an example of the utter beauty he produced at times.

mjzee Posted August 20, 2020 Report Share Posted August 20, 2020 I have an FM bootleg LP called “Merely A Portmanteau” which has two radio broadcasts. Side one is the killer: an extended version of Rattlesnake Shake>Underway which is 18 minutes long, bluesy/rockin’/spacy with an improvisatory feel and great Peter Green. Would love to find out if that has ever been commercially released. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would love to find out if that has ever been commercially released. The three volumes of "Live at the Boston Tea Party" have that feel to them, with two versions of Rattlesnake Shake each over 24 minutes, and surprisingly good sound. Peter Green/Danny Kirwan leaving this planet for glorious parts unknown, while Jeremy Spencer stands around befuddled, thinking about his Elmore James collection.

So I get to update the other stuff with CDs mastered using the master tapes for only about $20 more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
