    You'll have to do your own research on that. I'm not a Pixies-audiophile. I have the MFSL vinyl of Surfer Rosa, an album which which was my Pixies gateway drug back in the day (and what a drug that was, I bought the CD on the cover art and 4AD reputation alone without hearing a single note beforehand) along with a few Japan mini-LP versions. I am more than happy with what I have heard so far and at this moment, I'm about 3/4 through with the live concert on the blu-ray (this is almost worth this low price for admission). I have zero regrets but again, I'm not approaching it from an audiophile point of view.

    I bought this (Vol 1-3) for $10 shipped from Warehouse Deals the other day, and it arrived today.

    While the price is good, these are truly bare-bones reissues, with NO liner notes whatsoever. You just get the discs in a tri-fold digipack. No booklet, no liner notes on the digipack.

    No liner notes for an odds and sods compilation like this is a big big negative.

    Electric The Medium is the Massage

    I checked using the ISBN number and it does seem to include the CDs even though this is listed as a book. It's weight is listed at 4.2 lbs which suggests book + CDs, to me. Also, the Amazon description says it has the 5 CDs. Is there a version of this without the CDs?

    The same product at Amazon.uk is £42.03 = approx. $60 USD, which is around the full price for the book/CD set. I'll take the chance that that's what I'm getting for $14. :)

    Several Kansas cds for $4.99 Prime

    Went to a Kansas concert on Friday night and wanted to fill in a few holes in my collection. While looking I noticed several titles for $4.99 Prime. Of course most of the ones I still need aren't cheap, but the following are an incredible value!

    My copy of 4-6 arrived Saturday. FWIW, the original edition's notes weren't very extensive.

    Thanks for the tip about the Portishead lp. Thought I'd give it a try. If it's warped and off-center, I'll put it next to my other warped and off-centered albums that cost 4 times as much.

    It's also 45rpm, so if you find a good one (mine was $5 from an urban outfitters sale), it will sound really nice for that price.

    Happy to say I got the box today and it is the full set with the 5 CDs. For some reason, if you order this as a book, as I did, then it's way cheaper.

    Mine came last week and it had the CDs too. The pricing is very strange. It has to be the heaviest 5 disc box I've ever bought.

    The hardcover book it comes with is very nice.

    I haven't really looked yet. I just opened it to see if the CDs were there.

    Thanks. Haven't heard that Los Lobos album yet. Cheaper than the CD! Up to $7.43 now but still a deal.

    Agreed. $8.43 shipped when I looked just now. At that price this is still a no-brainer and I would order in an instant if I didn't already have it.
