Out This Week 3 Dec 2012
Smashing Pumpkins / Mellon Collie & the Infinite Sadness 6-disc box set
A massive box set to celebrate the double album from 1995. This set is unfortunately very expensive to get hold of currently retailing at £140 on amazon.co.uk., as is the 4LP vinyl box, which was available for $26.99 on amazon.ca at one point. Details and various buying links can be found here.
Bee Gees / Mythology repackage
Excellent four-disc set from 2009 which devotes a disc to each of the Gibb brothers, now packaged in a CD sized case rather than the previous ‘bookset’. Only a tenner on amazon.co.uk, so it seems rude not to pick this up. More here.
The Blow Monkeys / Limping For A Generation and Animal Magic Deluxe Editions
Superb two-CD sets from this rather underrated 1980s pop band. Animal Magic features their breakthrough hit Diggging Your Scene and both reissues are packed with remixes, demos and B-sides. More here.
The Jam / Classic Album Selection
All of The Jam’s albums collected together in this stocking-friendly box set. Available for less than £20 in the UK. More here.
Blur / Parklive
Blur’s summer Hyde Park gig available on double CD, DVD and five-disc deluxe casebound book box set. More here.
Johnny Cash / The Complete Columbia Collection
Unbelievable 63CD set containing 59 albums covering Cash’s Columbia years from 1958-1990, plus three bonus discs. We have an extensive photo gallery of this set. More here.
The Prodigy / The Fat Of The Land reissue
This new issue of the album comes with a bonus disc of contemporary remixes. More here.
Can / The Lost Tapes vinyl box set
Five 180g vinyl records with a 28-page booklet in this box set of unheard recordings. More here.
