    Gentle Giant 2018 Box - Record Label Survey?

    I saw this mentioned on that other music forum. Seems as though Snapper Music is preparing to prepare a deluxe GG studio albums box set for 2018, and has proposed this survey to help them understand that desires of their target audience (folks like us, I suppose?).

    Hope this link works:

    I told them I wasn't interested in any of that random tchotchke crap - only the newspaper clippings, and maybe a replica backstage pass.

    I'm not interested in the original recordings, as they've been re-released, what, five times already? And there's a surfeit of live material already available (though most of dodgy quality). So really, I'd only get it for the thotchke crap

    I'd like to have all the albums in a nice box, but I said please don't include any vinyl in the box.

    GIANT CERAMIC HEAD! (or is that "ceramic Giant head"?)

    I voted for a remix of The Missing Piece and a handsome coffee table book. And a flashing red light.

    Got all the albums, cds and many videoes. Just need tickets to the reunion concert. I'm sure Derek would just sound fine....

    I certainly have opinions. I think it would be cool to have all the albums and then one representative best available sounding (maybe spliced together if some songs are only available on lower quality recordings) live show for each album (presuming there was a tour sorry giant for a day). it is a impressive list of bootlegs they have put together there sure seems like they are taking this serious so I am hopeful for some good stuff.

    Can anyone identify the 3 non members in the picture? I think they are trying to find out as it might be included in the book.

    Do you know if anyone has talked to the band Dave Sr.? Seems like that might be a good place to start.

    Well I'd take themas a totally perfect mini-lp replica (including the US edition of Octpus)

    no vynil (33 or 45), please.... or Blue Ray, FTM


    keep it as complete but without useless stuff (paraphernelia or multiple same-content discs) to keep the price down
    my music collection increased tenfolds when I switched from drug-addicts to complete nutcases.

    No backstage passes or anything like that. I hate that kind of stuff on box sets. The Doors' London Fog set is an example in how not to do it.

    I don't want bootlegs, I want properly remixed (or remastered) unreleased live material, bluray-videos, and 5.1 surround mixes and a big book, please.
