burntwolf Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 so anyone ever hear of any major issues w/ the LP version of this boxset from back in the day (~1990)? my buddy had one from the record store he used to work at still sealed back from when it came out. i traded him some stuff for it. and so i open it up and all the inner sleeves are split (not major surprise), but lamer, almost all the LPs are warped(!), not to mention on the thin side, and one of them so far had a totally jacked spindle hole. on the upside, up through LP4 they have played fine and actually sound pretty good. that era was pretty hit/miss for vinyl QC, but was just curious if it was a widespread thing w/ this release or if I just got "lucky." would've been way more bummed if i had dropped the $100+ they go for on the bay...

motorbike Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 that sucks they are all warped. on a side note, this "best of" is my favorite of best of release. i can put this thing on random at any time on my ipod and never get disappointed.

shifres Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 I'd love that to get re-issued... One of my favorites of them when it comes to compilations and/or live acts is the BBC Sessions (4LP)... I'm melting every time I hear that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burntwolf Posted March 30, 2012 Author Share Posted March 30, 2012 yea, i got the cassette version of the boxset the xmas it came out, so it's always been my favorite. i doubt they'll reissue it since they did Mothership, but that one just didn't cut it.

rocknroll76 Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 My seams are split too. Not too bad I don't think, but yeah. Side note: Box set 2 has that song "Baby Come On Home" which floors me every time I put it on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
