    Do you do as I do? Like, I pick, them up to dust them and think, "Oh wow, forgot I had this, cool!" :D

    Even if he suddenly retired and a “Complete Robert Pollard” box set was released today, it would be 100+ discs.... :shh:

    Well, I’m now the proud owner of the 222-CD Bach 333 set of J. S. Bach’s complete works.

    See you guys in a few years. Two hundred and eighty hours of music. Holy moly.

    Not a box set pre-se (or, eight such), but each Wedding Present album (eight of them) has a 3CD + DVD edition, so that's 32 discs...

    The biggest box in terms of discs I have is the Wishbone Ash Vintage Years set at 30 CDs.
    However, I have a bunch of Rolling Stones sets that are even bigger in terms of "box size": the biggest offender is the Grrrr Deluxe edition - there may be only 5 CDs and a 45 in there but due to the poster and oversize book the box is enormous!

    Similarly the box for the Brussels affair is huge too: there's only 3 LPs, 2CDs a poster, a velvet sack and and a book - and a watch in there....

    It even has its own shipping box!

    ....which was delivered in an outer box, as I remember.
