Very happy to see mention of MAN. They are a great live band and it is definitely worth checking out Maximum Darkness, Live At The Padget Rooms & Live At Reading. Great Video. All the best Robert from North Wales.
Definatley Strawberry Alarm Clock and 13th Floor Elevators. Yes they both did 4 albums but the could also have a few bonus features on them. Leadbelly (the first man of rock n roll/The Blues) Mamas and Papas need a boxset including their live at monterey pop festival compilation. Iron Butterfly I know already is a boxset but could be re-released with the 2 albums they did in the 70s. Iggy Pop Steppenwolf. Buddy Holly needs a boxset album series. John Lee Hooker, Blues Brothers, Three Dog Night, Paul Williams, David Soul, The Fallen Angels (60s band)
The Mamas and the Papas had a great "collected works" set out many years ago which included, as a bonus, their previously-unreleased version of "Nowhere Man." Buddy Holly also had some career-spanning boxed sets. These have all been out of print for a while now, but you could hunt for them in all the usual places.
Siouxsie & the Banshees had a great 3 cd + dvd BBC sessions set a decade or so ago, which I have, but they could really stand an official career-spanning set incl all the b-sides, "12' mixes, demo's, essential album tracks and some Creatures stuff. Joe Jackson's had a pretty diverse and underappreciated career/ output since the late 70's that I believe would merit a similarly expansive mult-disc retrospective.
Hmm…great topic Larry. I never really thought about it. But you’re absolutely right. A lot of these bands I have their discographies and don’t need a box set. But certainly for those that want a comprehensive overview of an artist’s career then a nice box set is perfect. 🤘😳🤘
This is a terrific topic, Larry! Thanks for posting this video. Love the Fireman and Sparks boxed set ideas! You seem to be mainly interested in boxed sets which collect all of an artist's recorded output along with the possible addition of some previously-unreleased material. That can be affordable if you're talking about four, five, or six discs - like the sets for the Zombies, Spirit, the Police, Dire Straits, and Steely Dan. Or it can be semi-affordable for artists with large catalogs who issue separate box sets for each era e.g., Bowie. But the collected works of some of the artists you're recommending here - ouch! In the early days of the CD market, several artists had career retrospective boxed sets which featured not everything they ever recorded but a good four or five hour overview of their catalog with some bonus tracks and a book or two. I bought quite a few of those. Don't see too many of them nowadays. They have been replaced, by and large, by the super deluxe edition reissues of a single album (or a pair of albums in the case of the Beach Boys and the Kinks - both of whom also have great career-spanning box sets). Who should get a boxed set? Bob Seger, Santana (the 3-disc set was very nice but the band deserves a bigger boxed set), Queen, Van Morrison, Genesis, Kansas, Styx, the Scorpions, Frank Zappa, Jackson Browne, AC/DC, the Alan Parson’s Project, Toto, Supertramp, Squeeze, George Harrison (especially if we’re never getting Early Takes volume 2), Grateful Dead, Peter Frampton, John Mayall and the Bluesbreakers, Renaissance, and Rush. There are some wonderful two-disc collections for both the Rascals and Three Dog Night. I understand you're looking for something much more comprehensive but these sets contain everything I need from each band. Similarly, I'm happy with my two-disc comps for Boz Scaggs, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Sweet, Van Halen, Bad Company (Paul Rodgers era only), Procol Harum, Uriah Heep, Steppenwolf, Jethro Tull, the Carpenters, Humble Pie, and Robert Palmer -- with apologies to any uber-fans of any of these artists.
The Church , The The & Wire all are deserving of career spanning Box sets. All 3 bands have many tracks that were B-Sides & are difficult to track down.
In 1990 there were a couple of great XTC CD compilations: XTC Rag & Bone Buffet XTC Explode Together They included: Mr. Partridge - Take Away / The Lure Of Salvage XTC - Go+ The Three Wise Men - Thanks For Christmas The Colonel - Too Many Cooks In The Kitchen and various outtakes and singles.
There was a box set released of The Rascals Atlantic recordings some time ago, now out of print. Maybe you were looking for something more comprehensive, though. I'm always impressed by your wide range of knowledge of the many rock artists over the years. I also like that you try to give thoughtful and fair critique of the various albums.
*Nazareth used to regularly tour North America with Rush in the 70's, and if I ever had access to a TARDIS, those would be shows I'd definitely want to catch. Scotland produced some superb bands that were prominent in the 70's, Nazareth, Sensational Alex Harvey Band, The Skids, Average White Band, and even the Bay City Rollers came up with some decent toons.
Id love a Sparks box set too I'd imagine given the price of sets which cover maybe 5 to 10 albums though one covering 27+ with all the bonus songs too would cost a LOT. I would love it though haha. I guess it would be difficult as well with all of the different labels involved like you say. The recent CD reissues of balls through to exotic creatures were cool but a nice set would be way preferable to the thin cardboard sleeves of those releases wouldnt it. It's always nice when a lot of care goes into packaging ..though of course the music is the most important. I know the debut and woofer were reissued and possibly remastered on vinyl last year and apparently the speed issue on woofer was fixed so maybe a start would be a set with those two albums and the demos album that came before sparks that's avaliable on youtube in one set for the early years, i think that could make a cool release :)
XTC..I would love that Larry…The Guess Who was the first one that came to mind when I saw you posted this video..I would definitely buy that one especially on vinyl…interesting video Larry..your number one was a big surprise👍❤glen
Good call with Nazareth and Man. Saw Man in the mid-90's in Edinburgh, with maybe an audience of 20, and they were excellent, didn't take themselves seriously. My box set wishlist would be Alter Bridge, Boston, Collective Soul, Goodbye Mr MacKenzie, Gun, Killing Koke, Bob Mould (solo and Husker Du & Sugar), Orchestral Manoeuvers In The Dark, Stiff Little Fingers and Ultravox (The Midge Ure years).
Free have a box set. ‘Songs Of Yesterday’ 4 studio CDs with alternate takes and mix’s from the albums plus a fifth CD which is live. I highly recommend it.
I can’t believe Ringo’s apple catalogue has never been remastered. Some of his best albums like RINGO and Goodnight Vienna were released. They should an Apple Years box set like the did for George back in 2014.
Live at the Paramount has been released as a single cd deluxe with many extra tracks from the same night. Incidentally, this was the first LP I ever bought when it came out in 1972.
@@canadianstudmuffin AND also agree with your assessment of Three Dog Night. A criminally underrated band today. My theory is that they represent a kind of group that has gone the way of the dodo. No songwriters per se but like a jazz singer, they select gems and interpret them in their own unique way.
A box set that I am after is the Radio Birdman (Aust) one but it’s hard to come by. I am looking forward to Black Sabbath - the Tony Martin Years which is supposed to be out this year, although it was originally supposed to be out last year. Some bands that I would like to have box sets of their official studio and live albums are Dragon (NZ), Skyhooks (Aust - although I have most of their albums), Rose Tattoo (Aust), The Angels (Aust) and AC/DC’s early Australian albums, although I have the songs already but it would be nice to have the albums in a set. I have Dirty Deeds on cd but my biggest regret was getting rid of my lp of Let There Be Rock, cassette of Dirty Deeds and not buying proper copies of High Voltage and TNT. I know Powerage has some different mixes, although I don’t if the Australian version mixes differ and Highway to Hell which had a different cover, although it was recorded in London.
1. Prince (This would definitely have to be a series of box sets for vinyl) 2. Squeeze 3. The Kinks later albums 4. Deep Purple (like a more complete one, they’ve had boxes in the past, but incomplete ones.) 5. Green Day 6. Pearl Jam 7. AC/DC 8. The Cure 9. Elvis Costello (I know this one would have to be a series of box sets as well) 10. Paul McCartney 90s and 2000s albums Btw these are all for vinyl
Yes, the Kinks later days deserve a box set. Ok, I know they were not so good as they were till 1970, but we can select about three or four really good tracks from each album indeed.
We have been working on getting ALL the Good Rats albums and some live recordings as one big CD box seat. Our biggest problem is Universal Music Group which has the Kapp Records catalog and that label released the Good Rats' debut in 1969. We want to make some money, as it was in Peppi Marchello's Last Will in 2012 when he sadly passed away at 68. The Good Rats' well-known album, Tasty turns 50 in May of 2024. Our working title for the box set is" GOOD RATS "The World's Most Famous Unknown Band" As for Sparks, that would be a tough one.
I want that BOC box set! I have both Steppenwolf box sets. Love them! Would love a Nazareth box set for sure. I would really like a Three Dog Night set! And The Guess Who Nektar is awesome I’d even buy a Sparks box set if it came out! Lol Great idea for a video Larry😊
SPARKS RULES!!! Having a box set from them would be so ideal. They should split the box sets up like they did with the Beatles' Red and Blue albums. You know, early career/later career.
I already have every Sparks album on CD and download so I would have zero interest in buying a box set, if I could even afford one, which I couldn't anyway.
Couldn’t agree more on the Nazareth set. Most of their 70’s albums you can’t even get from Amazon or they’re ridiculously priced. Others I would like 1. Angel 2. Thin Lizzy 3. Sweet 4. B.T.O. 5. Foghat (Amazon has one ridiculously priced) 6. Frank Marino/Mahogany Rush (70’s/80’s) 7. Gary Moore (70’s/80’s) 8. Michael Schenker/MSG 9. Molly Hatchet (78-84) 10. Robin Trower (70’s/80’s) 11. Scorpions (70’s Uli era) 12. Steely Dan 13. Styx (75-81) 14. Uriah Heep (70’s)
I'd like to see a Collective Soul box set. They have done very little in the way of deluxe edition reissues or special editions. There seems to be a lot of live material and unreleased stuff they could add. It would also be cool to see some more of their CD only albums reissued on vinyl. I think they have done one or two, but there are plenty more
Well a Ramones box set would be cool if there isn't one already and also Triumph. A Triumph box set would be cool if they haven't done one yet. Love Triumph. A great Canadian band.
A box set i would love to have is Valdy. His music is hard to come by they have not released a lot over the years on CDs. That would be my #1 box set to purchase.
I've been wanting to get the Nazareth cds up to 2XS (which I love), but many are OOP and quite expensive, so a box set would be welcome. Would also love a box set from Starz, with their self titled debut, Violation, Attention Shoppers & Coliseum Rock.
I have a box set that just has The Randy Bachman albums but I would love to have a Guess Who box set with all the albums maybe not the Chad Allan albums but just the 68 through 78 albums and maybe even a bonus album with a collection of there early material.
We can never have enough Paul McCartney Larry and the Rascals were great and so were Nazerath,Three Dog Night had great vocals but along with the Guess Who I don't know if they have a big enough followings to warrant box sets,as for Sparks they should issue a box set if only for Larry Graves who's their biggest fan in the world! Bob
Flo and Eddie were involved with creating two separate box sets for The Turtles, one of their singles and one of their albums. If The Turtles have enough of a following to warrant two box sets, The Rascals and Three Dog Night surely warrant one each.
Some good calls there. I guess most of them would have to be CD though or they would be too big and probably too expensive to do on vinyl. I often declare myself the UKs biggest Burton Cummings fan so would be all over a Guess Who or a BC box set as some of those albums were difficult to get over here.
@@canadianstudmuffin It's really expensive though, it's a mixed vinyl/ CD box set. It would have been better to only include CD's. It has 29 CD's + 4 vinyl LP's + 3 45 singles on vinyl.
I would like a boxset of The Flying Burrito Brothers ( all the studio albums and live recordings with Graham Parsons). A boxset of The Band up to and including The Last Waltz would be great
A Ringo Starr box set.Only apple records releases please.Plus maybe Rotogravure.I wouldbe so happy.Maybe a Mccartney box with his solo albums .No vonus tracks and books posters etc
Would also love a Nazareth, XTC, box set! Would also love a collected Guess Who box - would be great to have some demos and alternate takes with different band arrangements. Would love to see some sort of ridiculously massive boxset for Sparks with EVERYTHING collected. Maybe it could come with a kimono.
Hello there! I think Queen definitely deserve a 'Career Spanning' box set; something like that has been don for Jethro Tull's 50th Anniversary: in 2018, in fact, Tull released a really cool Greatest Hits called '50 For 50', which feautere a lot of cool stuff. Secondly, I think another band that definitely deserves the box set treatment, is 'Gotan Project': Oh my God, such a criminally underrated band! A huge hug to my absolutely beloved Canada! I'd love to come back out there, one day
One band that really needs a discography remastering and box set is Styx. Really the only way to buy their CD's is to buy the original A&M CD pressings from the 80's that don't sound that great. They do have one of those small 5 CD box sets available but as far as I can tell, the CD's in that set aren't even remastered. On the other hand, the band who set the standard for box sets has to be Jethro Tull when they released a huge box set for each of their albums with loads of bonus meterial.
@@canadianstudmuffin I bought the most recent Tull box set that came out for the "Broadsword and the Beast" album and it is excellent. Not my favorite Tull album but it is worth it just to have the 160 page book and the 7 CD's worth of bonus material that comes with it.
Aerosmith. maybe 3 seperate boxes for different eras of the band. The 1st from the 70's the debut to night in the ruts right before Joe perry left. 2nd one, 80's & 90's, rock in a hard place 1982 to nine lives 1997. and the 3rd 2000's & after.
That was interesting. I would like a boxset of Talk Talk a band that created Art Rock virtually on their own. An interesting box set compilation would be the works of the brilliant Rory Gallagher who was an underrated hero of the 70s & 80s Great performance and thoroughly enjoyable. All the best. Dave✅✅
I hadn't thought about things needing fixed, if I'm honest. The chances of me ever buying any box sets are slim anyway, I'd never be able to afford them, not on disability benefits.@@canadianstudmuffin

Big St⭐r!
I love that band.
My pick for a box set would be Triumph
Not a fan myself but I thought their documentary was excellent.
A box similar to the McCartney I/II/III that came out last year would be nice for The Fireman. I really want Rushes on CD..
Jim Capaldi, Paul Weller, Procol Harum, Paul Westerberg, Phil McCracken.
Yes, Procol Harum had a nice box set compilation but their studio albums in a box set would be superb!
A box set i would love to have is Valdy. His music is hard to come by they have not released a lot over the years on CDs. That would be my #1 box set to purchase.

The Rascals have a box set from Rhino's Orginal Album Series but it includes only 5 Albums and it dosen't have any gatefolds or any bonus tracks.

We can never have enough Paul McCartney Larry and the Rascals were great and so were Nazerath,Three Dog Night had great vocals but along with the Guess Who I don't know if they have a big enough followings to warrant box sets,as for Sparks they should issue a box set if only for Larry Graves who's their biggest fan in the world! Bob
Flo and Eddie were involved with creating two separate box sets for The Turtles, one of their singles and one of their albums. If The Turtles have enough of a following to warrant two box sets, The Rascals and Three Dog Night surely warrant one each.
Nice video! Sparks, Man and XTC are amazing picks. They Might Be Giants need a box set, I don't think they have one.
Some good calls there. I guess most of them would have to be CD though or they would be too big and probably too expensive to do on vinyl. I often declare myself the UKs biggest Burton Cummings fan so would be all over a Guess Who or a BC box set as some of those albums were difficult to get over here.
Sparks having a boxset is a great idea!👍
There is a big Nazareth CD box set, "Loud & Proud" with all of their albums.
Okay, thanks. Never saw that one!
It was only limited to 5000 copies, unfortunately.
@@canadianstudmuffin It's really expensive though, it's a mixed vinyl/ CD box set. It would have been better to only include CD's. It has 29 CD's + 4 vinyl LP's + 3 45 singles on vinyl.
I agree, a Black Oak Arkansas set would be great 👍
Blackfoot, Molly Hatchet, Suicidal Tendencies and The Metropolitan Blues All Star Band.
I would like a boxset of The Flying Burrito Brothers ( all the studio albums and live recordings with Graham Parsons). A boxset of The Band up to and including The Last Waltz would be great
The Band had a 3-disc box set many moon ago. Disc one was devoted to the work they did backing other artists before going out on their own.
I will take a 1910 Fruit Gum / Ohio Express box set , with out takes 😃
If an xtc box set does not come along soon, please consider buying skylarking its probably there best album. Best wishes tim
There is one called Coat Of Many Cupboards.
Styx's Grand illusion and Pieces of Eight need a box set.
Yes how about Equinox-Paradise Theatre. Ok put Kilroy in there I guess 🤪
It will be nice to have a Deep Purple boxset up to with Ian Gillian and all their early stuff remastered that you love so much!
I would buy a fireman set. I could also use a decent E.L.O box set. The one already out looks cheap.
I would add BADFINGER to the list!
A Ringo Starr box set.Only apple records releases please.Plus maybe Rotogravure.I wouldbe so happy.Maybe a Mccartney box with his solo albums .No vonus tracks and books posters etc
The Cult needs a box set.
Would also love a Nazareth, XTC, box set!
Would also love a collected Guess Who box - would be great to have some demos and alternate takes with different band arrangements.
Would love to see some sort of ridiculously massive boxset for Sparks with EVERYTHING collected. Maybe it could come with a kimono.
There are a few XTC box sets. Coat Of Many Cupboards being one.
Hello there! I think Queen definitely deserve a 'Career Spanning' box set; something like that has been don for Jethro Tull's 50th Anniversary: in 2018, in fact, Tull released a really cool Greatest Hits called '50 For 50', which feautere a lot of cool stuff. Secondly, I think another band that definitely deserves the box set treatment, is 'Gotan Project': Oh my God, such a criminally underrated band! A huge hug to my absolutely beloved Canada! I'd love to come back out there, one day
One band that really needs a discography remastering and box set is Styx. Really the only way to buy their CD's is to buy the original A&M CD pressings from the 80's that don't sound that great. They do have one of those small 5 CD box sets available but as far as I can tell, the CD's in that set aren't even remastered. On the other hand, the band who set the standard for box sets has to be Jethro Tull when they released a huge box set for each of their albums with loads of bonus meterial.
Yes, the Jethro Tull box sets are so well done! I have Thick As A Brick.
@@canadianstudmuffin I bought the most recent Tull box set that came out for the "Broadsword and the Beast" album and it is excellent. Not my favorite Tull album but it is worth it just to have the 160 page book and the 7 CD's worth of bonus material that comes with it.
Right Equinox-Paradise Theatre would be great. Ridiculous they never even been remastered at all. Ok put in Kilroy if we have to
Steppenwolf, the dunhill years are badly transferred compared to the Japan releases which are pretty darn good
😊
Aerosmith. maybe 3 seperate boxes for different eras of the band. The 1st from the 70's the debut to night in the ruts right before Joe perry left. 2nd one, 80's & 90's, rock in a hard place 1982 to nine lives 1997. and the 3rd 2000's & after.
klaatu needs one!
Yes!
This band has never even released remastered versions of any of their classic material and no box set and that band is Styx
A supertramp boxset!
How about a Sensational Alex Harvey Band box.
They had a really nice box set released a few years back of all of their albums, including Alex Harvey's solo years.
That was interesting.
I would like a boxset of Talk Talk a band that created Art Rock virtually on their own.
An interesting box set compilation would be the works of the brilliant Rory Gallagher who was an underrated hero of the 70s & 80s
Great performance and thoroughly enjoyable. All the best. Dave✅✅
Bob Seger
Personally I think if you have a band or artist's whole discography in your collection then box sets are a complete waste of money.
Thanks for your opinion, but if all of the albums are remastered well (and certain things fixed) I'll buy the box set.
I hadn't thought about things needing fixed, if I'm honest. The chances of me ever buying any box sets are slim anyway, I'd never be able to afford them, not on disability benefits.@@canadianstudmuffin
For the love of God Led Zeppelin needs more
Kansas.
I wonder if Journey has a box set
