I wasn't a boxset fan until I started watching your show! Just got the Black Sabbath, Technical Ecstasy, boxset and I have to say that I'm really enjoying it! I'm a huge Rush fan so I may have to checkout that Rush boxset. Your channel is my favorite on here and I look forward to it everyday! Love your enthusiasm for music!
Thank you William! I’m glad you’re enjoying the content and have found a new love for boxsets. There is certainly lots of good material to be found in boxsets that can’t be found in other releases.
Thank you for yet another great video. I'm going to have to pickup that Tom Petty box set. Def Leppard is another. The Rush tourbooks are cool as well.
Hi Brendon!! cool boxset a couple of those i've never seen them before like Def Leppard's, nice Alice Cooper and Rush too. The 25th (?) anniversary edition i have of Whitesnake's S/T has the live album as 2nd disc. cheers and be well
On the covers of both "Exit Stage Left" and "Moving Pictures" by Rush, the bald fellow with the big moustache is a friend of mine, Mike Dixon, who is also a very good drummer. He lives in St. Catharines, Ontario, where Neil Peart is from originally, and he and I played in a band together called "The Funkings," which also featured Stevie Skreebs, the bassist of Brighton Rock, and we did an acoustic afternoon show one afternoon in Niagara-on-the-Lake a few years ago, where I played guitar and he was on one of those new little box things that you sit on and play with your hands - the name of it is escaping me....a cahone or something like that? I'm name-dropping a bit here, I guess, but I do know a lot of people in the business up here.
I had the Tom Petty box set. There are actually two early Mudcrutch singles on the set ("Depot Street" released on the Shelter/MCA label, and their very first single, the Pepper Records release "Up In Mississippi"). The majority of discs 5 and 6, while previously unreleased, the majority were recorded during the sessions that produced the two new tracks on 1994's "Greatest Hits" title, including an absolutely incendiary track called,"Come On Down To My House", which shows that they could stand their ground with the grunge bands....while blowing them out of the water.
Hey Brendon, I do have 2 out of 5 boxsets, Tom Petty Playback and Rush x 3 I don’t have the vip pass inside and my CDs are not covered individually. I did get a poster.
Over the years labels have releases skimmed down versions often in the book type with CD’s attach and not in individual cases. In some cases I like those smaller versions but when they remove the memorabilia I hate it.
Love these videos! I have that Rush set and it's great, but just FYI, the Grace Under Pressure Tour CD did get a separate release in a jewel case a year or so after the box set came out. Also I have to ask... up over your left shoulder on the CD shelf I see the iconic Realworld Records color bar on a CD spine. What release is that? I'm guessing it's probably a Peter Gabriel CD, but I'm curious. :)
Yes the Rush album did get a stand alone release in 2009. But at the time it was an unreleased album. Currently the boxset is out of print making the collection that much better. Regarding the Real World label, yes those are Peter Gabriel albums.
That Tom Petty boxset is great, although I prefer the Live Anthology boxset to Playback. Also, the Guns N Roses Appetite massive wooden box is an incredible box set with tons of goodies. That one ranks very high for me.
Loved seeing the Alice Cooper box as I never saw it before or even knew it existed. Also nice to see discs come sleeved or protected in some way in these boxes. I just bought The Black Keys El Camino 4 disc anniversary box and they did such a nice job with the box, the printing, the booklet....but the discs are unprotected in a cardboard sleeve. -- sigh.
Hey Mel, glad you exposed to one you never knew of! That’s the fun of videos like these! Hopefully you can find a copy for a good price. It’s well worth it.
I know David is doing box sets of Into The Light, Good To Be Bad and Forevermore but I wish he'd revisit albums like Lovehunter and Saints And Sinners if only to have more of the artwork from those releases.
@@BrendonSnyderI've never heard anybody talk about Live In The Shadow Of The Blues as I own a copy and there are four new recordings which must have been part of a session.
Great stuff Brendon. Love your videos. Quick question..you have an incredible collection with over 11,000 CDs and 200 box sets. My question is this..when you get a box set such as the Def Leppard Volume 3 that was included in this video, do you still keep the original CD releases of "Yeah" or "X" or "Songs From The Sparkle Lounge" (assuming you have the original releases). I always feel like I'm being a hoarder by hanging onto the originals. I wonder "why keep them", they are simply duplicates at this point unless they are different masters or Japanese imports, etc. At that point, I would keep both copies. Just wondering what your thoughts were with your sizable collection.
Hey Brendon,when will you get back to doing another one of this type. Don’t get me wrong, I am enjoying all of the current content, maybe you can get back to some of these older series!!!!
Don’t be too jealous. None of the stores I’ve been showing are the “great” stores that once existed. I used to have 5 record stores on one block that I could hit all in one day. Only 2 remain and of those only one still has CD’s. But I’m making do with these other stores. Each focuses on different genres of music. I wish one store had it all like they used to back in the day. It would be great if these stores would return in mass.

I got the Alice box set from Columbia House at half price, when I was just getting into his music. Fantastic introduction.
Nice deal!
Thank you for yet another great video. I'm going to have to pickup that Tom Petty box set. Def Leppard is another. The Rush tourbooks are cool as well.
The Tom Petty box is a real gem!
Hi Brendon you had me again at box sets have most of these love them all don't have the petty one and the Def Leppard one as well
If you’re a fan of Tom Petty then his Playback boxset is a must have!
Nice collection.
Thanks!
I love Alice! I somehow missed that box set. I want it! Thanks for the info 🙏
Unfortunately it’s out of print. Hopefully you can track one down for not too much money. It’s well worth adding to the collection.
The cooper boxset is really good. Like to also get it on vinyl... look at you over there, ripping the sawdust from my teddy bear....
I don’t think it’s ever been issued on vinyl. It would be nice if he released another updated boxset since it’s been more than 20 years.
another great video Brendon.Always love the videos on the box sets
As long as they keep doing well, more will follow.

I’ll have to look closer at the two album covers now.

Found that tom petty box set used for $15 at my local record shop! Im glad when they include inner sleeves esp for those digi packs
Good deal!
Also love that whitesnake box set & still available at a good price

I included the Tom Petty Live Anthology in the previous episode, see link th-cam.com/video/2GdHZvOJXiM/w-d-xo.html

He doesn’t own the rights to those albums. He has long said he’d like to revisit them but can’t.

Never say never but after 10 episodes and doing the other boxset videos, I feel like I’ve run through them all. I’ll keep it in mind though.
I am really jelaous of you because you have your local record stores left. I live in Sweden and here are all cd/vinyl shops gone. Just like this...
