the only reasons i could come up with for why i would want to buy tafh on vinyl came down to 1. mouths of babes and 2. marquis in spades.

i know it's completely personal, but i absolutley despise that format. so ugly and demanding.

although i guess if you had an entirely seperate "box set" section of your collection it wouldn't be so bad. i just tend to neglect box sets because it's just an ordeal to deal with the imposed packaging and all of a sudden you find yourself knee-deep in something you don't necessarily want to be knee deep in. it's just too much to deal with.

What exactly am I looking at here that you refuse to have in your collection? Multiple different box sets?

Yes

I actually like all of that stuff, it's like the same thing that attracts people to vinyl (large artwork, notes, physical connection) but to another level, especially with vinyl box sets. I have a box set wish list.

Gigantic extra-wide cardboard slipcases that hold several or more records. I'll admit it's completely a personal preference why I don't like them. My problem is I'm never looking for 5 records to play, it's usually only 1.

i've owned a few LP box sets. one i recall really only playing one record from it. the rest only casually. still have several 7" box sets. usually ignore them because it's too much of a hassle to get all the records out. a few i want to play more i just took out of the boxes and put them in plastic sleeves to mix with the other singles.

9 times out of 10 when I "stop" listening to a bunch of records it usually ends because I pulled out a box set. It's like 2 hours later and I don't have a clue wtf is going on.

Take them out of the box, make the box the display piece. Thats what i done with the s-k box

when i was at the records store today i thought of that box set, because as i was rifling through the "s" section i saw like every sleater kinney album ever in print.

and i thought to msyelf 'what could the box set possibly contain that's not all these still in print records?'

i flipped to that new mogwai - come on die young $100 box set and at first i was like "woooah awesome" and then immediately was like "lol wow you're joking". it's not like you're getting a deal by purchasing the set, and i guarantee if they were offered seperately at $20/each you wouldn't be buying them all.

as i mentioned in another thread the most economical way for existing record companies to make serious turnover money is from people willing to splash out on collectors edition limited box sets.

more like where do i store this outer box with similar items so it doesn't get fucked up becaue its completely unecessary

[slunken]

i mean there's no double 12" set that costs $40 dollars or a triple set that costs $60 but suddenly a 5xLP (or even less!) costs $100 or something.

wake up
