This was very interesting as I would probably never get a chance to see or own these sets. I say keep them coming with a series of more of your box sets! 🤘
I’ve got a series called 5 Favorite Boxsets, see link to playlist th-cam.com/play/PLXugCGslmwqnmhfQ_mLXF9YYmUT838i08.html&si=AILuF_5ByQsC3C8H
@@BrendonSnyder Thanks I’ll check it out!
Great video Brendon. All of them are very cool and unique in their own ways. Thanks for showing.
I love box sets. They are always interesting.
Excellent choices! I think The Clash's "Sound System" is pretty cool!
Yes! Great box set! The inflatable cigarette was a nice touch.
Next you should do an episode for unique single cd packaging!
Hey Brendon! Love my YES boxsets. Managed to grab The Union boxset on sale! FOREVER YES❣️❣️❣️👍😎
I lucked out and got a deal on my too as a used item that I traded for. The original price of it was insane.
@@BrendonSnyderI got it new on Amazon. It was a hundred bucks off! I always wait about 30 days after release. Will do the same with the new Talk set.👍😎
Frigging awesome box sets. 🔥🔥🔥🤘😎🤘😎🤘🔥🔥🔥
Wow!!! It's só cool!! It's só unique!!
Congrats Brendon!
Glad you enjoyed the video!
Dam Brendon your collection is just absolutely phenomenal. You have so much great stuff its always interesting watching your uploads. Hands down you've got the best collection I've seen. You literally blow all others similar content creaters away. How you achieve this having a job is mind-blowing. You make us all look amateur 😂
love the look of the Yes boxset...jealous!
Hi Brendon, I have all the box sets from King Crimson and love them. Also love Whitesnake's box sets. I live in the Netherlands and watch all your videos. i'm enjoying it keep up the good work.
Those are some pretty cool items.
I remember when Eddie archives came out, it was very unique. Especially with the shot glass.
The recent Blonde "Against All Odd" box set is really cool and I still admire the Uber Deluxe version of U2s Achtung Baby from 2011, complete with fly shades. I like the Rush SDEs, Moving Pictures that came with drum sticks and a model car was a highlight. Plus, as a few people have mentioned, the Appetite For Destruction Locked N Loaded cabinet :-)
AWESOME 🥳
I have the AC/DC & Kiss Box in a smaller issued version .
Great Selections!!! The Death Magnetic box set is the most aesthetically pleasing and beautifully sublime release of all time! Sorry you lost the OG 9v battery with the AC/DC set! The Blood theme is great!
Awesome collection. I own a few box sets:
Aerosmith- Pandora's Box
Led Zeppelin- The Complete Studio Recordings
I like the Eddie's Archive, which I have. Also it is a numbered edition. Also the ACDC box set I like.
🤣🤣 you have to do the scratch n sniff booklet!!!! some funny!!!🤣🤣
Waa at the yes show Spectrum Theatre, Philadelphia, 12th July 1991, that was included in the yes union boxset. They played in the round. Also saw the capital centre, large, MD, in the round and Patriot center, fairfax VA that was not in the round.
Brendon awesome video, the box sets are awesome, I like AC/DC, Metallica, Yes, I don’t know about the ones with blood , it’s all great thank you Brendon, Steve
I have the ZZ Top box set that is a replica of a BBQ shack. Very cool.
Extremely cool video! “The airplane flies high” by the PUMPKINS saw a re-release in 2013 with (yet) more unreleased stuff (different packaging, though). ROB ZOMBIE also released a big coffin-shaped cd with many goodies for one of his “Hellbillie deluxe” albums. TORI AMOS’s box set in the shape of piano keys was also very cool looking
Yeah I recently saw the Tori Amos boxset and thought that was cool too.
Greetings from Madrid, Spain. Love your show!
Very interesting box sets, love that blood pack, thank you for showing!
You should check out the Grateful Dead Boxsets for packaging! And The Clash Ghetto Blaster …
CD/vinyl box sets….few labels execute the format better than Rhino, their treatment of the Grateful Dead multi-disc releases being nothing short of magnificent, particularly the mammoth Europe ‘72 Complete and Thirty Trips Around The Sun, collections. Both, simply sumptuous and breathtaking.
Poor Brendon is gonna spend more time putting all those box sets back together than it took to make the video. 😂. Really interesting upload and great to see these in all their glory.
Great video. I have the cd and dvd for Metallica’s magnetic box set. No box and no additional goodies just the cd and dvd. Your collection is amazing: congrats
Im a boxset guy, even though i despise the cd format. Im a vinyl guy, and wish theyd go back, and put all those 90s boxsets on vinyl
I would love to see your G&R boxset
I have Soundtrack To The Apocalypse and it's my favourite box set. I would love to have that Eddie's Archives. I do have all the stand alone cds though.
Well then you got the best part of the Eddie box then! 👍
@@BrendonSnyder Yeah getting the original and official cds was my priority at the time.
I'm definitely going to have to get the new Sabbath box set when it comes out.
Me too! Can’t wait for it but at the same time I wish it was going to have more unreleased material.
The Ray Charles "recordplayer" box is cool.
ZZTop - Chrome, Smoke and BBQ and Jeff Beck in the Tweed guitar case.
Another one was the Grand Funk Railroads "Trunk of Funk" with a copper opening latch, and which came with the first 4 remasters all individuly numbered only 10.000 worldwide, sticker guitar pick and a pair of Shinin' On 3D glasses. And had to get tge other 8 remastered cds released over the next year. Also the 2001 Judas Priest the Remastered cube box set.
Of the ones you featured, I just have the AC/DC - Backtracks Super Deluxe Amp Box set. A couple others that are unique I have:
Metallica - Francais Pour Une Nuit: Live Aux Arenes De Nimes 2009 limited numbered edition box set. This one was a box set that contained the DVD video of their live concert in the ancient Roman Amphitheatre in Nimes, France. In addition to the DVD video, it also contained a CD of Death Magnetic, a Large T-Shirt (still have it in the box never worn,) a laminated pass lanyard, and five exclusive photos of the band. What makes this box unique was the box itself was circular with a lift top that was supposed to represent the Amphitheatre and it had words written in Latin along with Roman Numerals on the box. Pretty cool, if you ask me. Anyway, I had to import this one from Europe and pay more than what it would've cost had it been available in the U.S. I'm not sure, but I think officially the only way you could get it was either importing it from France/Europe (it was only sold in France.) Metallica's website may have had a few copies for sale on the website when it first became available and then sold out quickly.
Elvis Presley - The Complete Elvis Presley Masters Limited Numbered Edition Box Set. - Was only limited to 1000 copies worldwide (first run) and it sold out before it was even released. I knew it would and I pre-ordered it the day it went on sale back in 2010. I cost over $700 but worth every single penny. Contained 30-CDs and had every known song that Elvis recorded and was officially released during his lifetime (studio and live.) The first 27 of the 30 CDs contained those master recordings. The final 3-CDs were bonus CDs that contained various outtakes, takes, live performances, interviews, and other rare recordings that were never released during his lifetime. 711 of the songs are master recordings released during his lifetime and 103 songs are the rare recordings on the 3 bonus CDs. This box set is a monster. It's big and heavy. Besides the CDs, there is a bug book included in the Box, detailing each song and the sessions with lots of rare photos, essays, etc. Also, there is a nice big foldout case that contain the 30 CDs. The songs are presented in chronological order of the recording dates, in both the book and on CD. When listening to Elvis, and wanting to get a feel for how his career developed, it's the best way to listen to him, IMO. Some people prefer listening to his albums in album release date order but that is misleading due to The Colonel holding back songs from earlier sessions to include on later albums. So, when listening to his albums by release date, you are not getting a true listening experience of his career development. This box set rectifies that. It is definitely my prized piece in my entire music collection. Certificate of Authenticity came with it also with the limited number of my set. The original Shipping Box also has the limited number on the outside. I store my box set in the originally shipping box because of it. Many, many people were disappointed that it sold out before it was released. So, they did decided to do a short 2nd run of it for the people who missed out. But the 2nd run was not a limited numbered edition and did not contain a certificate of Authenticity. The 2nd run, I believe, cost the same exact price as the limited numbered first edition.
The Doors - Perception Box Set - 12 discs (6 CD & 6 DVD) containing new remasters (CDs) and remixes (DVD) at the time celebrating their 40th anniversary. Unfortunately, I only have the reissued box set that was a more slimmed down version of the box. The original version of the box is bigger and has a peephole. For a short time, this box was my goto version when I wanted to listen to entire Doors discography (with Jim Morrison.) Since then, Analogue Production put out Hybrid SACD box set called Infinite back in 2013. That is probably my best sounding Doors set (I have like 6 or 7 versions of their complete Discography, not to mention some extra versions of the S/T album and L.A. Woman.)
Pink Floyd - Immersion Sets............Who doesn't like marbles, scarves, and cup mats? Just kidding. LOL
I think the original Judas Priest Remasters set was unique in that each CD contained a Letter on the spine and when put altogether it spelled "Judas Priest" along with their Cross logo on fire.
Similarly, the ongoing Def Leppard Volumes Boxes will eventually show the complete Def Leppard Logo when put altogether. We are just missing that Volume 4 which will complete the Logo when put altogether, displayed on the shelf.
One last note: I regret not being able to get the Eddie's Archive Box Set. That was released in 2002 and money was tight then for me. I had lost my job in 2001 and I was still out of work in 2002. So, I couldn't buy it. I remember seeing a couple of them in Best Buy when it was first released and I just couldn't pull the trigger on it, not knowing how long I would still be out of work. As I look back on it now, I probably could've scrounged up enough money to buy it, either from savings or borrowing from relatives, but I was afraid of not knowing what my job situation was going to be and how much longer I was going to be out of work. I refuse to pay outrageous prices for used copies, especially if they are the 2nd edition ones.
I have many other Box sets (not as many as Brendon,) but can't recall off the top of my head specific box sets that have unique things that visually distinguishes them from other Box Sets.
What show In the Yes box is the pro-shot..pro mix?
Really Cool Sets
I remember being in my local music store when the Iron Maiden boxset came out. I literally had one in my hands but didn't buy it......wish I had now 😢
ZAPPA - Halloween show Box sets include Halloween Costumes.. It was cool when they released 1 - but The ZAPPA Trust has released 3 of the " Monstrosities" - Lots of Shelf space taken up... ugh... Love the MUSIC - not the SWAG !! -- Great Episode Brendon..
My most unique box set is a little bit older. It's the 'Live shit binge & purge' by Metallica from 1993. I saw Metallica 2 years before supporting AC/DC in the Liebenau Stadium Graz/Austria! So this box set was an absolutely MUST HAVE for me!
By the way, I can still feel my ears smoking over 32 years after that concert!🤘
Yeah that’s a great boxset too. I just didn’t want to double up on one band and I felt the Death Magnetic box was more unique. But Live Sh*t almost made it in.
I’m surprised the Mr. Big box set didn’t make the list.
Guns N Roses Appetite for Destruction box set!!!!! 🙌🏼
idk if you've answered this before but what is your most valuable release and approximately what's it worth? cool video I only own 1 box set nothing special like this so it's cool to see
I don’t look up or track the value of the CDs I own. Some people have altered me to the value of particular albums that turn out to be valuable. I have one that’s over 1K in value and some that are in the hundreds. Most around the fifty dollar mark.
Are there any differences between the two versions of the Iron Maiden archives, other than blue vs red felt on the inside? Does the newer version have the same content?
Same content
At first glance at the thumbnail I thought it was the Live Sh*t boxset by Metallica. Thats pretty cool too, but I do agree the coffin is a lot more unique.
Although their fan cans are pretty dope too.
The Kiss and AC/DC were the top ones out of the 10 for me . Great presentation and thanks for all you do .
My pleasure! So glad to hear you enjoyed it.
The best channel for us CD connoisseurs. Just love boxsets. Proud owner of The KISS guitarcase
Thanks for the props bro! I love that Kiss guitar case too. It sits out on display in my music room all the time.
Absolutely treasure,.love it
Yes is very good , Kiss , ACDC, Alice Cooper amazing , thank you so much, Brendon
cool Boxsets, got a chance to have the japan
kiss set, did not buy, damn 🙄
Led Zeppelin also has a roadcase boxset, but it's very hard to get.
I used to have that Smashing pumpkins box. Not that special actually, it had some unique bonus tracks but the reissued expanded version has way more bonus tracks. I threw away the box because the handle turned ugly yellow and as a whole it took too much space. I still have the discs and booklet.
The box was what made it unique. It breaks my heart hearing you through it away. I’ve got the reissue as well.
If I recall there was no information about the Pumpkins box set explaining why there were so many songs on it so I was confused for years as to what it was and thought it was stupid, lol. There is a major story about how the industry do NOT properly identify their products and explain what they are in particular when compilations (and sometimes re-issues). I think at times these things are done (or not) on purpose which I have a level of understanding and MAYBE patience for but other times I feel they were simply not done appropriately in terms of expelling somewhere on them what they were/are. I call most compilations, "hybrid", compilations because few compile just one type of song.
I have the union box set
What's your favorite rock album?
I’ve got a video called Top 10 Rock Albums Of All Time, see link th-cam.com/video/Ndu5_Z6KEo0/w-d-xo.htmlsi=MBuYx5pUMV3kMuxj
At least I have the Union box set.
I would expect you’d have that one especially with your love of the live album.
@@BrendonSnyder I got it dirt cheap for about a quarter the price because they were dumping the last six sets dirt cheap with the shipping included. I thought the coolest one was the AC/DC and the working mini amp. I cracked up when I saw that. Yes has a box set of the Talk album coming out that can be pre-ordered from Burning Shed in England and I'm trying to justify a $100+ bill for it and then there's a three disc set coming out for their latest album that I'm not sure I'm going to get either. With all the medical trips we've taken over the last few years spending that money gives on pause for thought even if I am twitchy to get them. I already passed on the Bruford and Rabin box sets.
Sorry I’m a bit late watching this Monday night. Let’s see what you got.
I love Boxsets …anything Kiss puts out I definitely grab …but recently I just ordered the shout at the devil boxset…but my favorite is the Samhain boxset …I got Danzig to sign mine when I saw him on the blackest of the black tour I think that was in 2010…just because those albums were very hard to find back then
Love your videos
I’ve got the Samhain boxset as well. It’s a fave too! I’ve got my Misfits boxset signed by Jerry Only. Met Danzig back in the mid 90’s when he was touring for Danzig IV. He was a very cool guy as was the rest of the band.
@@BrendonSnyder I’ve noticed you have that Samhain boxset sitting on a top shelf in the background :) that band was awesome
My ex girlfriend gave me the smashing Pumpkins box but I've since got the reissue with tuns of bonus tracks.
I’ve got the reissue too but felt the original boxset packaging was far superior. But content wise, yes the reissue with bonus tracks wins the day.
I'm really surprised you didn't start with Metallica's Live Shit Bing & Purge set from '93. Eddie's Archive had a song called Black Bart that was unavailable for years. They used to play it on Z Rock all the time.
Yeah I just felt that others did it better plus I thought the Death Magnetic box was more unique and I didn’t want to repeat an artist more than once.
Was “Black Bart Blues” unavailable for years? It was the b-side to one of the “7th Son” singles (Can I Play With Madness, I think), which was available in 1988 or so, when I bought it.
I had an original “bloodpack” from 1990 or 1991…..sold it recently, after the “blood” had long since dried up. Shocked how much it sold for.
@@benedictdonald4338 When the Castle reissues came out in the 90s, BBB was not on the bonus CD I think. Of course, it was just made available on streaming recently. This is nothing new, though. Streaming rights are given then pulled willy nilly.
Have you the x rated Rammstein box?
No I’m not really a fan of the band. I have one of their albums, a live show. But not something I go for all that often.
Gene Simmons Vault?
But sir where's maiden the first ten years tho? Got it??
The best box is from, Judas priest about their 50years but I don't find it
For me it was overpriced and way lacking in content that was of value to me. I already owned all the albums remastered with bonus tracks so why would I want to buy them a 2nd time just to get some live shows. That’s why I didn’t pick it up.
Are you going to have the blood tested? 😂. Great stuff!
