How do you define a boxset - is there a minimum number of discs?

I own an awful lot of the things.

 

[тхеодоре кацзынски]

At least three discs I guess.

 

[тхеодоре кацзынски]

Or maybe two discs with extras like booklets and whatnot.

Comes in a box?

 

[nlgbbbblth]

Ok. The largest one I own is 73 discs. Grateful Dead - Europe '72.

 

[GARYXKNIFEDX]

I don't think I even want to know how much that must have cost.

 

[тхеодоре кацзынски]

Good God.That sounds insane.

 

[rettucs]

I'd get a Simply Red one if he had one

US$450. It was announced nine months before release so I pre-ordered and put 40 euro each month away for it. Sold out within a couple of days.

Have a fair few of those. Rhino sets are usually great.

That's actually a lot less than I expected.

That's what I figured. 1972 was their best year livewise so I went for it.

thanks dude. I'm going to order that when I get back from my holidays

 

[rettucs]

also, I have these boxsets

which is great. Every Madness album and some extras for about a tenner.

Also, this ended up in my collection (it was my sisters but I borrowed it and never gave it back)

which I think could be worth a few quid.

And then theres this;

I also have the Low one people have mentioned. Then theres this;

and

I have many 3xCD compliation/collections but I wouldn't consider them box sets. Box sets need to be by a single artist IMO to qualify as a box set.

Edit: oh and this

how much of it have you managed to listen to?

 

[nlgbbbblth]

how much of it have you managed to listen to?

All of it twice through and then selected sets.

 

[nlgbbbblth]

Accordingly to my spreadsheet the box set dominators (aside from "Various Artists") are
Beatles (7), Genesis (8), Grateful Dead (8), Pink Floyd (7), Elvis Presley (12). Real Mojo vibe.

what Pink Floyd boxsets are there?

Is that the 'Shine' thing?? which I think was all their albums and the 'lets make love in London' stuff?
