Honestly, like others, I'm not at all keen on a similar exercise in the future. As far as this series goes, there's one to go, and I have the first 5. But I'll tell you what I don't need - a box to put them in. Frankly, it's not even a good looking thing. They took a picture of Bowie live and stuck it on - not much effort went into the design. I want the music, but rushing to buy a box to put them in...... and paying more for it than ANY of the music cost...... no.
On release. The 1969 set is the only one I missed out on initially, because we were on holiday in Barcelona when it went on sale, but I quickly found a copy elsewhere.
... because I didn't spend the morning pressing F5, missed the 10 minute window, and my annoyance with the whole thing is best resolved by the realization that there were only four in the series all along.
To those who ordered the Ouvrez LP from Warner Canada and had it cancelled, did you order anything else with it? I ordered the CD and boxes, and I'm wondering if those will end up being cancelled along with the LP?
I actually didn‘t post here for a while since I have to admit that this whole BLA dilemma really is dragging the fun out of the Bowie experience. I am not gonna repeat what others posted here already so to keep it short - Everything about this campaign is just terrible and I hate it. Well except for one thing (and that makes it even worse in its own way) The products - the albums itself are really, really good. I received ”Look at the Moon” last week and it’s AWESOME. Setlist works so good and the sound quality is mostly also quite good. Bowie and the band give a killer performance. I even really enjoy overused songs like Fame and Under Pressure. This album could easily become my favorite Bowie live album.
Just on its own. The refund arrived quickly, so that’s something. Was going to put it toward a copy on eBay but the one I’m watching just passed £100... My hopes are that once the series is finished, there’ll be a bit more buyers regret from those who didn’t get the full set, so the price will drop. Might be wishful thinking, mind...
Missed out on this one. Bought the others on CD. Guess I will just find a digital copy and wait and see.
They did seem to to do a reprint of the first two and those are still available on the Rhino store. So hopefully these will also get the same treatment.
How much were the career spanning box sets in uk and Europe and usa? Someone on kooks said they will spend at least £300 in total if all 6 discs and box collected. I hadn't broken down the costs so far in Uk, but surely the main box sets are nowhere near this price, right?
RRP was around 250/270€ at the time of the release for each Boxset. But the last 2 quickly dropped to lower prices. Probably due to lower interest.
same here- still waiting for LATM. usps still waiting for the package from UPS which has no f.... tracking number so not sure how anyone is keeping track of where the package is. Last time I order from Rhino. for anything.
So I emailed Rhino about this, i'm having the same problem as everyone else with LATM. Rhino said that they shipped it and it's a USPS issue. I find this hard to believe as so many of us are having the same problem and are located all over the country. Not sure if they're just passing the buck. Very confusing and lame.
