Great video thank you - apologies for commenting on an older video but I only just found your channel today. I bought this box set around 10-11 years ago I guess, and it’s really good. I think if anyone bought this they’d have pretty much all the really essential albums by the Boss, and then if they wanted to explore some more they could go from there, or maybe stop by the “Tracks” 4CD box set on the way. Do you like Rory Gallagher? You can pick up a 5CD collection under the Original Album Classics banner for around £19.99. I think there was one for ZZ Top and numerous other artists, and you’re absolutely right, they are a great way to begin collecting an artist. Probably better to get when they first come out if you can, as when they’re out of print they increase in price quite a bit. Hopefully record companies don’t stop doing these kind of bundle releases in the streaming age, although I’ve noticed that new CD prices have crept up quite a bit during the last 12 months or so, so I doubt we’ll see these kind of sets being as cheap as they were a few years ago.
Thanks very much for your comment (no problem with it being on an older video!) I haven't explored Rory Gallagher's music but have heard good things about it. I will have to add him to my ever expanding list :)
@@tobyjonesmusic Thank you for replying:) That’s the problem isn’t it? I tell myself “OK time to stop collecting”, and then it’s “I’ll just get this and then I’m done!” 😂 I can’t remember exactly how I got into Rory Gallagher, but his music is really awesome. So sad that he died young; he was by all accounts a really nice, humble guy who was very likely one of the best guitarists ever.
