Bachman/Cummings Collextion (7LP's and a signed card)-- $53,73 Bachman,Randy / Cumm - Bachman Cummings: The Collection [New Vinyl LP] 194397445015 | eBay John Mayall-- The big box, $93.34 John Mayall - First Generation 1965-1974 (Ltd 35CD Boxset/Book & Signed Photo) [ 636551914055 | eBay
All is better than well. This box has brought me a lot of pure joy. All 7 records are flat, no S/N that I can hear, and the big meaty bass and drums I prefer, esp. the BTO. I know the deals over but I recommend grabbing this box anyway.
Just got mine. Probably the best $53 I ever spent. The Mayall is a real thing of beauty as well, but I got that a couple of deals ago.
I got the Bachman/Cummings set as well, but got the CD version. (Nearly got them both, but held out assuming more deals were coming - there were!) Glad to hear the LP version has great sound, hopefully the CD version is equally good Also got the Mayall set (the first deal I grabbed) and am very much looking forward to digging into all 12 pounds of that thing!!
Cleaned them all and now listening through this Bachman/Cummings vinyl set - wow does it sound incredible! I've seen mixed reports about sound quality and honestly I'm blown away so far. They are all flat as a pancake, silent, and dynamic. Maybe the naysayers just needed to give them all a clean. Getting this for $50 something dollars was a steal.
Rainy day in Los Angeles, and I'm not seeing much on Amazon today. Good day to revisit Ebay ... RareWaves is part of that UK conglomerate that posts music to ebay and to Amazon with great prices, sometimes too good to believe. Yet, I've bought from them regularly, and never had an issue other than slow shipping, which doesn't bother me at all. Packages take 10 - 14 days to reach me in Los Angeles from the UK. RareWaves has a storefront on both Ebay and Amazon, so I usually go back-and-forth because the search functions are different, and the pricing sometimes is different. These are things that caught my eye today, with Ebay prices shown. You might double-check their Amazon listings to see if the pricing is better. Guy Sigsworth is the musician in Frou Frou.

This thread got resurrected so if anyone's seeing it now, just alerting that the Mayall and Guess Who deals are long gone. Sorry! In fact I saw no significant knockdowns on box sets through the Christmas season this year.
