Funkadelic Live [BOX SET] [LIVE]

Funkadelic Live [BOX SET] [LIVE]
Funkadelic

After an a long serch I found this site on Amazon.com uk. Only to find that it has been discontinued. Has anybody every heard this box and does anybody know a on-line or retail store that might have a copy.

The box set came out 10 years ago.

the 1993 four disc box had different names in different countries: for example, In the US, it was called Parliament: Greatest Hits Live 1972-1993, while in the UK and Japan, it was called Parliament Funkedelic Live 1976-1993 (of course the US version had the worst packaging)... each country's version was four discs, and most of the tracks were the same, although each set had some shows that the others didn't have---that was frustrating, because it meant that in order to have all the live shows, you had to buy the US, the UK and the Japanese versions...

Amazon.com in the US has a used US version that somebody's selling, but they want $159 for it (the original price was around $39.99)...

The US version:


The UK version

Thanks for the repsonse. I think I am looking for the UK version because I want to hear the live at the Sugar Shack concerts.

Actually, all three (US, UK and Japan) have parts of the Sugar Shack show (even though the Japanese version says '1976-1993', it still includes parts of that 1972 show)...Like my friend Larry said , "they kinda pulled the shell game on us" --- in order to hear the entire show, you would have to have all three versions of the box set!!
