I'd buy a Phil Collins box set, just to see if it's ruined when it arrives here.

You have the Studio Zünd box set with all studio recordings (at the moment of release) plus bonus and the Live box set ( same as above) both in a nice shaped box.Originally Posted by miamiscot

I own the Japanese Mini-LP catalog by Anthony Phillips that has 5 Promo Japan Boxes and a Mega Box whereby all of the small Promo Boxes with Japan Mini-Lps fit into the Mega Box (all with artwork - the Mega Box has the Wise After the Event artwork).
I own the Japan Mini-Lp full collection of Maga albums in a Mega Box with artwork.
That's a lovely set, but far from 'complete recordings', right?

Naaah, I'll stick with whatever Webster I got... Thx anyways
owever, I must say that there isn't too many of those boxsets or specials that I would buy, even if I won the big lotery lot.
Yup, the AZ will be mine... but that's 90% important stuff never available before
But TBH, I've got what I need from most major bands. They'd have to be itterly more inventive to "sell" me their classic, surely better than stufdio outtakes or live tracks.
my music collection increased tenfolds when I switched from drug-addicts to complete nutcases.
I just ordered this last night.
I'm surprised no one has mentioned Tangerine Dream.
As a bonus, the box would be big enough that if I fell on hard times, I could live in it.

It's one of my favourite boxes - had 25 CDS (I think).
Oh wow, that is a lot actually! Info on that one is a bit scarce from my searches but depending on when it was released, it still wouldn't be complete compared to one that was released now with his most recent recordings, etc.
Out of curiosity, do you remember offhand if it includes The Meadows Of Englewood?
Edit: I should also add that one aspect of his music that I don't have in my collection are those library releases on the Atmosphere label. Very tough to find. If a super-duper deluxe Ant collection was to be released that included those, I would drop the cash on it pretty much without hesitation.

That's the one!!! I really want that.

I couldn't see anything else that could be added other than that (and the obligatory S. Wilson 5.1 remixes). Nevertheless I agree, these boxes aren't for me- no wherewithal or inclination. And sometimes extras can dilute impact, especially when the running order of albums is tampered with.
I think the only ones like this that I have are the three Elvis 'decade' boxes which I picked up over the years and still play regularly. IMHO those are still the only releases where that catalogue has been put in any kind of order, and they are very playable (not having false starts/alternates alongside the masters).
Bear Family have done these type of releases for years but they are one of the most expensive labels out there. I've noticed rock 'n' roll/blues artists are now basically only the province of those type of high-priced labels, if you want to go deeper than the singles and don't want 'public domain' junk or piecemeal original albums. Sad.
I don't believe there has ever been a complete box of everything Frank Sinatra did on Capitol Records. Why has nobody done that?? There have been Capitol boxes but they haven't been complete, focussing on albums as opposed to all the singles.
Even pretending for a moment that such a thing were physically possible...the licensing would be an utter nightmare. TD had so many releases on so many different labels, to say nothing of the many "gray area" soundtracks that they didn't fully sanction (stuff on Silva Screen).
On the flip side, I'd pay genuine money for a fairly comprehensive set of Conrad Schnitzler's numbered material. Wouldn't even have to be CDs...I'd gladly take a digital version.

The Live Box Set is in a ridiculously shaped box. Almost as ridiculous as this (the box fits in the chimp head):

It always comes down to a matter of taste. I like it, even so it doesn't have the Christian Vander latex mask included.

Actually, that's Volume III behind them (in the gray box).Here are the first two volumes.

Not sure but will check tonight.
If complete box sets, if they ever existed, I'd take the following:
Joy Division (I've got the supposed complete box set; it's not)
Strawbs (with all Dave Cousins solo stuff)
Hudson-Ford (including Monks and High Society stuff)
Kentucky Colonels (I may have it all, but it's spread out all over the place, I need one set with Clarence and Roland White solo stuff included)
Randy California (again, there's so much non-Spirit stuff out there, it's almost impossible to keep track)
Roy Wood (solo and side stuff, such as with Annie Haslam)
Lou
Looking forward to my day in court.
