Box Sets
I have found with age (and a higher income) I want to "fill in the holes" in my collection, and typically want everything. My family graced me with some coin to spend on music--so the question is, what great box sets should one own?

I love box sets, and although I've never counted, I'm pretty sure I own more than 200. If I had to give them all away except one, it would be the first Nuggets box: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuggets:_Original_Artyfacts_from_the_F...

Great choice.
I own several myself, mostly 60's/early 70's soul (Stax/Motown). However, after this post, I dug around and purchased the Complete Country Recordings of Ray Charles. I would probably sell a vital organ (or two) off to get a box set of everything Mr. Charles ever recorded. (My liver isn't much good anyway, so it would be the first to go.)
Now, as to a side question, why aren't the complete Tom Petty recordings boxed up?

You would think there is a wealth of stuff that Playback only scratched the surface of. I remember being mildly disappointed when I was working at the record store and the Tom Petty reissues came out with ZERO bonus material. Maybe someday . . .

Yeah, I worked at a Record Store for way too long. I'm also kind of a completist, so like I have the original digipak CD version of Guided by Voices Box, and the vinyl version and when they came out with a hard jewel case version. . . well, I had to have that too. Still haven't broken the seal on that one.

I've moved too many times to enjoy owning things, but I think this is something I'd want! :)

Although I have a few I really like I cant go past Led Zeppelins 4 cd remasters boxed sets volumes 1 & 2. I only had to buy those and I had every song they produced in a studio. Favourite band, easy choice.

Songs Of Yesterday is highly recommended even though you may wanna buy all the individual albums of Free as well as all related stuff :) There are at least some tracks not available anywhere else. http://www.amazon.com/Songs-Yesterday-Free/dp/B00004SRKB/ref=sr_1_1...

So Mike Nesmith. Yeah. WTF, right? Private, reclusive, mysterious for many years. A couple of years back, he got on Facebook and he posts long, winding tales about himself, his dogs, his home, his past, and a really lovely Mother's Day post last weekend. Photos go up. The whole thing. It's like he disappeared and then came back on his own terms. I didn't know how to take it. I'm a huge Monkees fan, no doubt. And, being a woman/girl of a certain age, I have a favorite and that favorite is Mike.…See More
