    Thanks for the review... I had already received and opened both sets, but was just looking to see what thoughts and opinions others had.
    I agree the folded insert just seems pointless, other then possibly only to be a space filler!!??!! And its not even in the Vinyl box set.
    And i understand that the liner notes might have just been copied from the originals.. But a few of them just seem a bit blurry on too of being so small.
    Not sure if they need better QC on the printing or if they should have reworked or made totally new liner notes to make them bold, crisp, and clear!!
    Still happy to have both sets!! But disappointed that i did a pre-order only to find they are being sold cheeper elsewhere !!

    I just ordered this box set! Thanks for the informative review. It does make sense for me since I've never owned most of these CD's. All I have is that Crystal Visions Best Of, and only recently bought the 3 CD Bella Donna reissue; so I've never even heard the rest of her catalogue. I also ordered one of her biographies from Amazon, am going to see a Fleetwood Mac tribute band this weekend, and will be seeing Stevie in concert for the first time ever later this year!

    Thank you for that unboxing...I had recently had the old original CDs from Rock A Little to In Your Dreams, in jewelcases...I HATE jewelcases!! They get old, worn, cracked & scratched, hinges break off, etc...what I do with an artist with large catalogues (5 albums & up), I take the inserts & discs out of the plastic cases & put them all in a ziplock sandwich baggie, and it saves a ton of room...just recently did it with newly acquired Sinead O'Connor CDs I got used...back to Stevie, I have the 2 deluxes of Bella Donna & The Wild Heart, plus other best-of's Stand Back, Crystal Visions (CD/DVD) & the 3CD Enchanted boxset...I did have Timespace as well but don't need it anymore cuz those 3 exclusive tracks are all on this set...I admit, it does look great, the same size as the Joni Mitchell Archive sets, but the execution is cheap cheap cheap!! I do want this set though, as I read the newly reissued albums after The Wild Heart are newly remastered for 2023, the cardboard mini-LPs, and the rarities double CD...also I read that 24 Carat Gold has like 4 bonus tracks too...the big disappointment looks to be that sheet on top, like that's it?? Does it have a pull ribbon to get the discs out at least?? And as for Buckingham Nicks, there is a semi-legal remastered CD from South Korea with like 11 bonus tracks & packaged like a Japanese CD in a clear plastic sleeve & OBI strip and it sounds amazing...as for buying this, I'll wait for a price drop...saw it for $99 at Rough Trade and $79 on Amazon...there is a highly limited 16LP clear vinyl version on the Rhino store that's like $300...no thanks, I'll stick with the CDs even tho the inserts on the vinyls will likely be easier to read...and one big missed opportunity with this set is there could have easily been an extra disc or two with all the rare hard to find 12" versions from rare vinyl...not surprised...the 12" of "I Can't Wait" is on Enchanted at least...

    Asked Father Xmas for this one. Hoping ….oh nothing about the Buckingham Nicks cd in there? Kinda disappointing.I’m getting the cd version hopefully) I’ve still an awesome SONY stereo. A couple I’ve got. Few got lost in moves. Digging on the rarities though! Love me some Stevie ever since the FM white album ! I’ve seen FM tour Rumours in Toronto yrs ago.
    Though,sadly due to my illness ,never seen her live solo.
    I follow her on YT not the other social medias
    Stevie herself has said she’s not a fan of social media”
    What a inspirational rock chick to me she’s been plus survivor!
    She’s also helped me get back plus some others ) to my first love to …writing and …Yes.
    Poetry.
    ❤it’s very self soothing.
    Lyrical genius is Stevie Nicks.
    Listen between the words.
    She’s so precious to me and millions of others
    Then the voice!
    Of course!
    First it was Rhiannon that drew me in with her mysterious spell.
    So, I’m now a Baby Rhiannon at age 62 yrs old.
    She calls her fans female Baby Rhiannons
    Well, take it your American.
    In Cda well over this $180 or more I think!

    Great video Brendon! I’m a huge Stevie fan since the early 80’s. A huge missed opportunity is the non existence of a hard cover book and live dvd/Blu-ray. They should have included her 1981 White Wing Dove concert from HBO. This is only a $39 value box set. I got the 10 CD box from ZZ Top for $32 last week. As a collector I’ll prob still pick it up…but wanted to give you my thoughts!! Keep up the great work sir!!

    Thanks Brandon for reviewing the Box Set. It's been sitting in my cart on Amazon for a week; the $70 sticker price stopped me from pulling the trigger to buy. Like you, I'm really only interested in the "rarities." I own all of her solo albums. I love her outtake, demo, studio work, original Buckingham/Nicks versions, like "Fireflies," which are raw & beautiful. Also, rare Bob Welch/Stevie recordings. As a graphic artist, Im stunned by the sloppiness of the jackets & inserts. Thousands of rare photos could have been used. The lack of creativity is surprising, & seemingly thrown together at the last minute. So, my decision is, "No," despite being a huge fan of Stevie.

    • @BrendonSnyder

      Hi Elle! I’m glad the review was helpful but sad to hear your miss out on the Rarities. I’ve found if you want a bit you might find someone on eBay selling the discs separately and you’ll be able to buy the rarities disc by itself for a lot less. That said, I hope the record label releases it on its own. It makes a great stand alone album. Cool that you’re a graphic designer. I’m an architect. 😀

    Thank you. I hope that, when the individual Deluxe remasters (w/ the demos and unreleased tracks) of the albums come out, they keep the mini-LP CD look, but, offer additional thick booklets that come with the liner notes and stories of the various eras these albums were born in. My guess is, those versions will come around 2024, hopefully.

    • @BrendonSnyder
      @BrendonSnyder  10 місяців тому +1

      I could be wrong, it I feel like if we were going to get deluxe editions of the other albums it would have already happened. That said, Stevie sold her catalogue so this isn’t being handled by her. So who knows where it will go from here.

      @@BrendonSnyder Well, I know that she's probably got dozens of unreleased, alternate, and remixed (12-inch) tracks, along w/ live radio concerts (esp. The Other Side Of The Mirror) from virtually ALL of her solo albums. I would be shocked, if Rhino/Warner Bros. decided NOT to release those sought-after tracks within their respective album periods. I know that Stevie apparently has both Songs From The Vault Vol. 2 and The Song Of Rhiannon on the way, for The 2020s; so, new material will be forthcoming, regardless. IF it is true, that there will be no more Deluxe sets (which would be really disappointing and sad), I might just have to buy this unique Box Set, after all...
      P.S. It truly IS A MISSED OPPORTUNITY that 1973's Buckingham/Nicks wasn't remastered and included in this collection (inc. some of the additional songs they recorded, in hopes of including it on a possible Buckingham/Nicks II album, in 1974). It would have really made this Box Set an even more important collection. Unfortunately, I think the disunion between Nicks and Buckingham may be keeping it from getting a legitimate official re-release. Stevie and Lindsey both own the rights to the album, and I believe they both have to sign off on any version of its release. Apparently, Stevie had to ask Lindsey to be legally able to include 1973's, "Long Distance Winner" (from the Buckingham/Nicks LP) on her 1998 Box Set, Enchanted: The Works Of Stevie Nicks.

    According to reliable sources online, the third, fourth, fifth and sixth studio albums are newly 2023 remastered, along with everything on the two rarities discs, except for last year's "For What It's Worth" cover. The first two studio albums have the same mastering as the 2016 remasters, and the last two studio albums are not remastered. If they could make that leaflet to put on top, then why not have just made a thick booklet?

      Yeah most of the tracks appear on Enchanted. I do not have that in my collection so I didn’t compare it but after looking it up I see that lots are there. What this collection does is just combine the studio rarities together without the demos, alternate takes and remixes that are also on Enchanted.

    Okay. This box looks quite interesting, but what if I'm not very familiar with Stevie's music. What should I start with, in your opinion, Brendon? Is there any Stevie Nicks album that you would recommend to someone starting his adventure with her music?

    • @BrendonSnyder
      @BrendonSnyder  Рік тому +1

      Some would suggest her debut album Bella Donna because of the songs Edge Of Seventeen and Stop Dragging My Heart Around…two of her biggest hits. My favorite album is Rock A Little. But honestly you can’t go wrong with any of the first 4 albums.

    The small print in the packaging is such a waste. Feels like a slap in the face for CD fans. I've said for a while that the solution to this is to have something in a pocket that unfolds to vinyl size. This way the smaller outer CD size packaging could be used, but the inner sleeve can be large enough like the vinyl. They used to do something like this with CDs in the 80s. Yes, there would be some creases on these, but that seems better than something I can't even read.

    • @BrendonSnyder
      @BrendonSnyder  Рік тому

      Yeah they used to do that a lot back in the late 80’s and early 90’s. But now CDs don’t make them money so they’re cutting corners which is a slap in the face to us collectors.

  • @NemesisValkyrie

    I am so disappointed in mine. I purchased it as a birthday gift to myself. I'm disappointed by the lack of a booklet. Her Enchanted box set (Which includes nearly all of the 'rarities' songs) included a lovely booklet filled with notes from Stevie, her art, photos, and more personal touches plus a nice printing of all of the song lyrics. I realize I'm retouching on some of your points here, but the lyrics in this set are so shrunken down they're impossible to read. The sound quality of the cds is absolutely horrible, especially on the rarities. They sound tinny, there's a lot of popping. I find this ridiculous as, again, they were included in the Enchanted box set and they sounded so much better. Three of my CDs are also skipping, despite the fact that the CDs themselves seem scratch free and flawless.

      That’s my other complaint when ordering direct from an artist’s or record label’s website, it always costs more than if I order it from Amazon. Then it never arrives on or before release day. So you end up paying more and getting it much slower which doesn’t seem fair.

    Disappointed that there is no book and also that you need a magnifying glass to ready the lyrics. I have all her albums and unfortunately this box set offers nothing more than what is already out there. The Deluxe Bella Donna and Wild Heart have 2 and 3 CD's with lots of bonus and live material. The Enchanted box set from years ago also includes lots of rare and live tracks. All the B sides and soundtrack cuts are all on there as well. Think I will pass.

    Brendon, the boxset to me is too overpriced due to the fact it has little to no info on it. Heck the Genesis BBC had more info about that. Thank you to them for providing info on that. But I think they should base the price on the info in part. Have someone tell them what they like/don’t like before release. That’s just my 2 cents. 😊🥸😎
