One of several 90s soundtracks where the album is much MUCH better than the film itself.
Possibly coincidence, but U2 are playing HMTMKMKM on this tour for the first time in.... Two decades??

It's the Titanic. It's unsinkable.

I don't think you'll have much trouble finding the Bowie.... Seems like they pressed a TON and a lot of stores have overstock. That said, it's not cheap..... The lowest retail price I saw was $44.99.
One of my locals looks to have a BUNCH leftover. On Saturday afternoon he was sitting on close to 30 copies, and he's not a big store. He's not selling RSD leftovers on his Discogs page, but I bet if you reached out he'd sell you one. His price was $50.

My local had several copies of Daughter, didn't realize it was so hard to find!
I'll have to check what their price is... Can't seem to find the retail cost. But I could mail you a copy for cost plus $5 for postage/packing.
 

Actually, they know how to GOUGE..... as in, "APC is GOUGING their fanbase with a $125 box set of trinkets."
 
They apparently don't know how to GAUGE.... as in, "APC didn't GAUGE how little interest there would be in a $125 box set."
 
Sorry for the grammar police post. (Not to be confused with the ganja police.)

I don't think "classic" means what you think it means.

Had the "unique" pleasure last night of introducing three millennial females to the wonder that is CRJ's last album.
One of them in particular really dug it. Said the songs sounded like 80s Madonna, but contemporary... which is pretty accurate.
TS needs to just go full 80s. C'mon Swifty T.  

I haven't seen NIN as much as some on this thread, but I've seen 'em a fair amount of times on a lot of different tours, and they've never disappointed. I guess my claim to fame is seeing them 3 times supporting TDS.... Once at the Fox in ATL (with Marilyn Manson opening) which STILL might be my favorite show.... And then supporting Bowie.... And then late in the tour when they'd changed the whole setlist around. 
 
It was cool to get so many PHM songs back then... I don't think Trent does many of them anymore beyond Head Like A Hole and Terrible Lie. (Sanctified was played on the HM tour, which was a very cool version.) I doubt I'm gonna get The Only Time or Sin or Something I Can Never Have again. 
 
What else.... Seeing With Teeth in Charlotte where a rain delay stopped the show halfway through.... When they came back, Trent basically blew up the setlist and played Dead Souls, Reptile, Get Down Make Love, and Down In It (with the whole crowd screaming "Rain rain go away"). Took a good show and made it great.
 
Oh, and the NIN/JA tour had lots of deep cuts: Home, Metal, Non-Entity, I'm Afraid Of Americans, Head Down, Suck... THAT was pretty fantastic. 
 
Honestly I've heard Somewhat Damaged and Burn more than I can count. But I'll never turn down the former. Somewhat Damaged is almost always a highlight of any show. 

Hmmm.... I guess there's very few of us!
 
I only recently discovered this band and album. I guess it might sound "dated" to some, but if you appreciate prog-rock and don't mind some 80s-era production, this thing is a gem. Think Peter Gabriel vocals atop the widescreen keyboard and soaring guitar of Pink Floyd. (And with some Rush-style time-signature trickery too!)
 
This might be blasphemy, but I sprang for the CD/BR set rather than the vinyl. A lot more material (plus video and 5.1) at half the cost. Personally, I'm not a huge fan of live albums on vinyl, and the only other material is the album itself,  which is a cheap OG. I did order from Fish's website to get the signed PO. Not too expensive even with overseas shipping.

Supposedly Klein and the Stones do get ALL the songwriting royalties forever, after suing The Verve for the unauthorized sample. Richard Ashcroft was paid a flat rate for "lyrics".... which is the sort of crotch kick that Klein specializes in.

It did lead to a fantastic Ashcroft quote though: "Well, Bitter Sweet Symphony is now the best song the Stones have written in 20 years."

These aren't too limited, although the first set (Five Years) sold out before last Christmas and is currently going for big $$.
The second set is still available right now, almost a year after release.
That said, $160 seems like a pretty good price right off the bat.
 
Semi-controversial opinion: This might be the strongest set of the three. Not a single weak album in the bunch. (Looking at you, Pin-Ups, Space Oddity, and Young Americans...) But I'm not sure I can justify a purchase when I have VG/NM originals of all four studio albums.

Only 500 for the U.S., so not sure how long these will last.
Hysteria is only my 3rd favorite Lep album... which still makes it pretty great. And unlike the earlier albums, this one does NOT sound good on the original vinyl. (30 minutes a side???)
 
There's also a $129.99 super duper box set (CD/DVD).... which the pimply mulleted version of me who saw DL in the round in Atlanta would've salivated over.
 

Fair points, and there are lots of "analog purists" out there.... They'd rather get a 1980s reissue (cut from a substandard master by engineers who don't care and pressed on cheap noisy vinyl) rather than a new reissue (cut by the best guys in the business on premium vinyl) because the 80s version is "analog" and the new reissue is "digitally sourced." Doesn't mean it will sound better though.
To cite a few specifics:
--The best Zeppelin cuts are the original UKs (which will run you $50+ for VG copies) along with the RL of LZII (which will cost you $150 for a non-noisy copy). Or you can try the all-analog Classics (OOP, about $150 apiece). The new reissues are cut from hi-rez digital, but they sound very good and DEAD quiet. (Definitely better than my non-RL US originals from the 70s.) If you don't have a $10,000 system, you probably won't notice the difference.
--The Pink Floyd reissues are also cut from hi-rez digital and, according to audiophiles, come very close to the original UKs (although opinions differ). They will run you less than $20 new. A mint UK of Piper or DSOTM will run you at least $100. Your call. (FYI I did not buy The Wall because I scored a mint US copy years ago for $10, and I have a Japanese Meddle from the 1970s that sounds amazing... although that will now cost you triple what the reissue does).
--The Beatles mono reissues are AAA, sell for $20 apiece, and will blow away any Beatles original press you have, barring the original UKs that now go for $150+. They will definitely smoke the inferior US Capitol pressings. This is really a no-brainer.
--The Hendrix reissues are AAA as well (at least the three studio albums) so again, a no-brainer.
--The Beach Boys reissues on AP are also AAA. The Rhino reissue of Rumours is AAA, cut by Kevin Gray & Hoffman, and sounds amazing too.
--The new Kinks reissues are also AAA.
--The new batch of Tom Petty reissues coming out (box sets but individual titles soon) are also AAA and sound awesome.
 
--Stay away from the Queen reissues, which are digitally sourced but actually SOUND that way.
--The Bowie records are mixed. Ziggy is AAA and sounds better than anything but the best UK cuts. The Man Who Sold The World is digital but still beats most originals. The rest will be inferior to the best UK pressings. (But again, you will not be able to find any original UK Bowie in mint condition for under $40 anymore.)
