What exactly would it include? Contemporary EPs? KS is a known perfectionist and would never, ever release stuff he decided not to release, like recording sessions that didn't make the original cut.
Another set I would really like to see would Be Gram Parsons Emmy Lou Harris and The Fallen Angels Spring Tour 1973...They played Philly Max's Kansas City NY, the Long Island show and a couple others....5 or 6 shows would be really fantastic Gram Parsons and The Flying Burrito Brothers Before and After GP....early shows like Bears shows Seattle Pop Festival and ones like Authorized Bootleg/Fillmore East Great Roots music for country rock
Bob Seger put out that anemically short CD vault release through Walmart a decade or so ago. I am sure he and Punch thought: "Let's put out this cheapo release and prove to ourselves once and for all that no one really cares about this stuff."
I'm probably the only one here who would love it, but a box set of all the music from Austin's Glass Eye would be mighty fine. That's 4 LP's & 2 EP's.
Perhaps another nice box would be similar Mike Nesmith and The First National Band....5 or 6 shows....he was much more of a pioneer of the country rock vein than a lot of people know....people say he and Gram knew of each other and influenced each other....they were both in CA
Another might be Freddie King Big As Life On Stage....a nice set of his really strong sets from Europe and US playing and showing his influence on EC Greeny Taylor Gary Moore Beck Kim Simmonds Page
Now that's something I'd love to see. And while we're at it, please also expand Live 1980/86 from 4 sides of vinyl to 4 full CDs.
The Roches - Warner Bros albums (currently out of print), outtakes and live sets. Liner notes by Robert Fripp who produced their first album. Kenny Rankin - Little David and Atlantic albums (currently out of print), outtakes and live sets (solo or with the backup band from Silver Morning - Peter Marshall, Wendy Haas and RoyMcCurdy).
I'd love a series of single collections similar in style to Depeche Mode. Grouped by album, each disc containing all the relevant mixes/versions plus b-sides by artists like Pet Shop Boys, Peter Gabriel, Sparks etc. Deluxe editions of Queen II, Peter Gabriel IV, Bowie's Blackstar/Station to Station. A boxset dedicated to the post-Magic Tour recordings by Queen, covering 1987-1997 (No-One But You).
I would love a box set of all unreleased Ryan Adams recordings, starting with the Kotten recordings up to present day.
Most of us hear ya…you spend a chunk of cash, open it once, then periodically clean the dust off it. I won’t stop buying the odd one,obviously.
Not at all definitive,and the band and Burton deserve separate boxes. I personally don't need any BTO.
I could care less what he decides is fit for release really. Dump all the surviving hard drives into a 48 cd super box. 120 different mixes each of Only Shallow and Soon, unfinished drone fragments, whatever.
There was talk of a Independent release of material by The Iveys over 15-20 years ago in form of Boxset including early demos, BBC radio appearances, and several Live 60's club gigs... Some of the material by The Iveys has trickled out in last 4 years possibly more in 2023-24
I have bootleg audience tapes of all of the shows, but they have to exist as soundboard recordings. All of them are great and unique sets.
Kenny Rogers. Complete box set of all albums, duets, soundtrack songs, and singles including First Edition
E. Power Biggs - The Complete Technichord, RCA Victor and Columbia Recordings (including all multichannel recordings in SACD format)
