Van Basten II Posted May 15, 2011 Report Posted May 15, 2011 Complete Horowitz Original Jacket, 84 Euros at Amazon.fr --> http://www.amazon.fr...t/dp/B002P3J3BW Last time I put in cart (- VAT, + shipping) to check it was $110 or so inc. shipping. Amazon France has this deal back for those interested, with shipping in Canada, guess it should be similar for Yanks it goes around 125 $ Quote
jazzbo Posted May 15, 2011 Report Posted May 15, 2011 I think that's what I paid for this fascinating box set. Recommended! Quote
mjzee Posted May 15, 2011 Report Posted May 15, 2011 I've had this box for years. It's Horowitz's complete Masterworks recordings, but not in their original jackets. It's a well-done box, with easily-readable liner notes, and it's currently only $89.99: Amazon Quote
jazzbo Posted May 15, 2011 Report Posted May 15, 2011 Ah come on man! You lose in the "my box is bigger than yours" category! Quote
mjzee Posted May 15, 2011 Report Posted May 15, 2011 My box just might be bigger - the CDs come in jewel cases. And, you know, they're harder too! Quote
jazzbo Posted May 15, 2011 Report Posted May 15, 2011 Still, a lot of the material I like most about the Original Jacket Collection isn't in that box. Quote
mjzee Posted May 15, 2011 Report Posted May 15, 2011 Really? My box says "complete." Unless it's outside the parameters 1962-1973... Quote
jazzbo Posted May 15, 2011 Report Posted May 15, 2011 (edited) I'm talking about this one. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vladimir_Horowitz_%E2%80%93_The_Complete_Original_Jacket_Collection Much more material, probably as much as four times more on 70 discs. And I paid less than twice what yours costs. Edited May 15, 2011 by jazzbo Quote
mjzee Posted May 15, 2011 Report Posted May 15, 2011 Interesting. I have the complete RCA material on a box from BMG-RCA (before the Sony merger). I've never been impressed with the sound on the RCA box. Quote
jazzbo Posted May 15, 2011 Report Posted May 15, 2011 Well, the material in this one sounds fine to very good to me. Maybe remastered, I don't know. There's also four or five hours of material never released before. Quote
mjzee Posted May 16, 2011 Report Posted May 16, 2011 Amazon cancelled my Casals box order, saying it's no longer available. Odd response, since (as they acknowledge), it's available from 4 different Amazon resellers. For much more money, of course. Quote
GA Russell Posted May 16, 2011 Author Report Posted May 16, 2011 The Debut Records Story (4 CDs) has been reduced to $9.99. http://www.amazon.com/Debut-Records-Story-Various-Artists/dp/B000000XB7/ref=sr_1_1?s=music&ie=UTF8&qid=1305559823&sr=1-1 Quote
Edward Posted May 19, 2011 Report Posted May 19, 2011 Amazon is presently offering the Beatles Mono Box Set for $99.99, which I think is a pretty good price. Beatles Mono Box Set Quote
Bigshot Posted May 20, 2011 Report Posted May 20, 2011 Beatles boxes sold at low prices by third party sellers are likely to be bootlegs. Not that they sound different... Quote
Edward Posted May 20, 2011 Report Posted May 20, 2011 Beatles boxes sold at low prices by third party sellers are likely to be bootlegs. Not that they sound different... I agree. Last night, however, Amazon itself (for a very brief time, apparently) was selling the Beatles Mono Box Set for $99.99 - I purchased one myself. Quote

Best Buy has the mono set for $99.99 Beatles Mono Box I've got the stereo box so I can't bring myself to do it. Can/will anyone change my mind? Quote
Van Basten II Posted May 20, 2011 Report Posted May 20, 2011 In a way, the mono is complementary to the Stereo as some of the mixes are quite different than the stereo versions, you won't regret it. Quote
Aggie87 Posted May 20, 2011 Report Posted May 20, 2011 For U.S. members, Best Buy is selling the deluxe Tom Petty live Anthology set for $29.99. This includes 5 cds (1 exclusive to this set), 1 blue ray, 2 dvds, and an lp (a '76 live bootleg show). It was upwards of $100 when it came out 2 yrs ago. Quote
jazzbo Posted May 20, 2011 Report Posted May 20, 2011 I really prefer the sound of the earliest albums in mono. Don't dig the early stereo mixes. Quote

Same for the Beatles Mono box? Quote
Aggie87 Posted May 20, 2011 Report Posted May 20, 2011 The Petty box is available at that price in the stores, as well as online (here). Quote
vajerzy Posted May 20, 2011 Report Posted May 20, 2011 thanks!! Wanting to also get the Mono and Stereo sets from the Beatles. Quote
JSngry Posted May 20, 2011 Report Posted May 20, 2011 Finally, a price I can afford on the Mono Beatles Box, Thanks for the tip, GP! Quote
Kyo Posted May 21, 2011 Report Posted May 21, 2011 Bill Evans' Riverside & Milestone Albums: http://www.amazon.it/gp/product/B004I289FE/ Hard to find detailed information about the exact contents of this box. I did find a tracklisting after quite a lot of searching and it seems the "Time Remembered" CD is missing for some reason, can someone confirm or deny this? Quote
