Fall of cd and the rise of the box set?

Posted by: Martin_C on 29 April 2012

Morning all

 

Not sure if this has been covered elsewhere but one upside of the demise of cd has been some cracking box set offers....not the expensive remasters but good honest original albums bundled up. Us tangerine dream fans have been enjoying the virgin years box sets providing 12 albums across two sets for about £20 or so. I've just found Edgar froese's solos to match (another 6 albums). As someone who has avoided reproducing my vinyl on cd this is proving a cost effective way of loading my NAS.

I've now added orbital's 5 albums from the "original album series" ... a band I've largely missed out on. Next up for me will be Bonnie Raitt also from the " original album series".

 

........and then I did a search on"original album series" on amazon and discovered there are absolutely loads of them across all genres. Well worth a look if you haven't already.....or am I just behind the curve?

 

Question is what box set would we really like......my vote is for kraftwerk the early years....I could do with ruckzack on digital!
