I’m hoping those are tentative prices. (?)
Yeah, hopefully they didn’t try to screw the fans like the Nirvana Nevermind box set, that things like 130 bucks. And the Pink Floyd box sets for the wall and DSOTM those are like 130 too.
A lot of times on Amazon, things get listed at their full retail when they first go up and then Amazon takes a huge cut for the “Amazon price” once the listing is more finalized.
those prices look fairly legit. I bought MCIS a couple years ago and it was like $35.00 at HMV.
dont go to HMV then! i think they are more reasonable now a tenner gets you a new album usually with a bonus dvd etc and thats a good price.
I hated the day when Our Price etc put a single album at £18.99 just because they could (especially in small towns) – thats the good thing about the digital revolution – it f**ked over companies like that and forced them to give sensible prices or dissapear
I’m betting the 3rd SD disc is a DVD but 2 extra discs of music would be awesome!
Unless it’s like Pearl Jam’s reissue of “Ten” and has a remixed version of the album as well as the original mix.
I was expecting more like $20-ish for the 2 disc sets.
strange that they seem to have just slapped the deluxe editions on top of the hundreds of old reviews for the original discs
As much as I hate to part with 45 bucks for another copy of Siamese Dream i just can’t resist.
@wtf
I notice Amazon does this with Blu-ray movies, too – matching them with their DVD counterparts’ reviews.. Very annoying when you’re trying to find out what’s changed for the better..
Can we at least wait to see the packaging before we start complaining about the price being a rip-off?
As for the Nevermind reissue – you can buy the remastered disc alone, the 2CD deluxe, or the 4CD/DVD box set for different prices depending on what you want/can afford…. I really don’t see how that’s ‘screwing the fans’. I would be thrilled if the SP reissues got the same (or more extensive) treatment, but I doubt there will be as much choice just because Nirvana have such broader appeal.
@Woody, I’d wager that it’s less that Nirvana has “such broader appeal” than it is that Nirvana is a canonical “important” act that isn’t gonna be generating any new work. Those sorts of bands/albums are the ones that tend to get the most lavish commemoration. I mean, think about how the Beatles’ catalog is treated vs. the Rolling Stones’ or Bob Dylans’ catalog (not that the Stones and Bob haven’t been lavishly collected, but it’s not Beatle-grade).
I want vinyl with my DVDs! No CDs! :-P
