Thank you for the heads up.

I wish it were available just the Blu-ray in a super jewel box like the Rhino Quadio discs. Indeed I wish SDE, Cherry Red, Rhino* et al would release their Blu-ray discs in super jewel boxes like the Rhino Quadio discs. I have run out of storage space for all the ancillary books, CDs, LPs, marbles, etcetera.

* I have just received from Rhino four Blu-ray discs (Seal, Carly Simon, Hootie & The Blowfish, Chicago) in High Fidelity Pure Audio cases - they don't fit on the shelves.

You are welcome

You are not alone, I expect their sales would go through the roof if these companies issued stand alone Blu-rays.

I wonder what the profit margin is for these box sets?

Shelf space!!

What's that?

I keep shuffling the collection around to make some imaginary room.

Are your shelves singing, "give me hope, help me cope with this heavy load..."

 

[AshBuchanan]

Too expensive for me sadly, but just noticed that Oasis have an album called Be Here Now (after a Harrison song) and a song called Wonderwall (after a Harrison album)

 

[jamoke]

That's a lot of Do-Re-Mi for 11 songs.
Not very consumer friendly...I'd like to purchase the surround disc but not at this price.
Hope future releases are more affordable.

Well, at least I can use my HSA card to pay for it:

I need a doctor alright!

Spoiler: doctor's special

On occasion, when the packaging is truly bizarre, I repackage the stuff so it fits. I have several mulri-disc “collections” in one case that were never released that way.

It’s mostly movies, but I’m definitely not above taking scans of 7” CD releases and printing out CD cases for them.

Let me know when this set gets dumped for $60 on Amazon.

Better yet, $24.99 for a standalone Bluray. That’s what they did with DSOTM, and I could actually understand shelling out big bucks for an immersion set of THAT album.

After, All Things Must Pass, the only other George Harrison box set I’d purchase is a compilation, like what they did with Lennon.

 

[Scott65]

Unfortunately, too expensive, so I will not be getting this one.

 

[Simon A]

It's official! Dhani now wears hats!

This is a shame. I remember when the album first came out. I remember that it was pretty underwhelming. Being a big Beatles fan and completest, I expected something a bit more commercial from George. The single was OK, but not historic. Try Some Buy Some was the Ronnie Spector single that tanked on Apple. Sue Me, Sue You was kinda funny, but to me, the best and most commercial tune was "Don't Let Me Wait Too Long", which should have been a single for George. It would certainly have gotten airplay.

So, with the above in mind, I will have to pass on this thing, as I am POSITIVE they will not sell what they expect to sell, and it will be on amazon later for around $100 if not less, or maybe even a deal on UDiscover Music.

This one is clearly a 'wait it out' release for me

That's about all the enthusiasm I can muster myself for this particular configuration. Missing the boat here.

I agree. Its on my "waitlist" for when someday the price goes down a lot!

 

[bktouchstone]

I might have considered this at the initial price if I was inspired by the remix of All Things Must Pass, but I didn’t really find it to be that great. I don’t recall if I rated that one in a poll (and it would be really embarrassing if it turns out I gave it a 9 or something). And I have never heard the album. No one seems too enthusiastic about it though I love the single. So…will wait for reviews, and will wait for a price drop.

 

[Strilo]

I love this album but I don't need the vinyl. I would buy a CD/Blu Ray combo. Here's hoping they do it later.

Has anyone noticed that the super deluxe set is no longer on Amazon US? Maybe they realized the price is out of this material world.

Maybe the initial run on Amazon sold out???? Though I find that hard to believe at that price!
