Yikes! That $150 price tag on amazon is awfully steep for the first volume. If they are releasing multiple volumes, I hope they make the price more affordable for the average music consumer.

I’ve noticed that,lately,Amazon charges an arm and a leg for big box sets.I cancelled my Amazon ‘Sign O’ The Times’ SDE preorder when I found that it was cheaper at a few other places.

but anyway....I’m ecstatic at the thought of getting 15 (!) of these box sets!! biggrin and since these are in limited quantities (2500 copies),each set will be a real collectors’ item,for sure.

Expect to see these sets on EBay and discogs for outrageous prices.

I sold my Philadelphia 40th Anniversary box set a few years ago. Now I'm sorry I did because now it sells for triple the price I paid. eek Unless these new box sets are heavy on bonus tracks, I won't buy most of them because of the price tag since I already own the titles I'm interested in on CD.

I'm very discriminate on what I buy on CD these days since I own over 3000 of them. I'm in the process of moving. Packing and moving a huge CD collection is no joke. I can imagine what a pain it would be to move a vinyl collection. Actually I did once back in the 90s and I swore I'd never do that again! headache

btw,I have that 40th anniversary box set too....it’s an incredible set...it would be hard for me to sell it.I also have an earlier PIR box set from the late 90s.

the O’Jays 1978 album ‘So Full Of Love’ is an absolute masterpiece.Every song on that album could have been a single.Looking forward to a fresh remaster of that great album.

Pardon me for inserting myself here, but I have caught your enthusiasm for this music and am enthralled that some folks can have 3000 CDs! Wow. I can't really visualize it.

Sorry for interrupting. I'll see my way out.
