Box sets, got dozens... on this shelf Zappa, “Lather” Japan pressing, Roy Montgomery ( NZ guitarist ) Hendrix, Songs for Groovy Children, Dylan, Biograph, David Byrne, the Brazilian Lps, Devo, the studio albums, Jimi Hendrix Experience studio singles and LP releases, Hendrix, West Coast Seattle Boy, Coltrane ‘58, Elvis, every single that ever charted (Lp format ), Thelonius Monk, complete Riverside recordings ( 22 Lp set ) Django Reinhardt, Djangologie 1937-1950: ( 20Lp set )

BEST box set? The Monk is the most valuable... Djangologie the rarest but much enjoying Hendrix’s Songs for Groovy Children as it’s a 1st release for the Band of Gypsies New Years Fillmore concert for end of ‘69, in its entirety It’s a stellar recording and off-the-charts great performance... came out Dec. 2019

Ah, Läther in it's intended form. I have the album's as they were first released, mainly bought in an extremely good record store in San Antonio, Texas, IIRC.
I don't buy much music these days & the Zappa library is increasing far too much to keep up with so l'm rather out of touch.
I bought box one of the Old Masters on release as l got a very good deal from one of the independent record shops l was delivering to at the time. He always got his delivery before the Our Price shop (remember them?). I didn't continue buying them though, l bought the originals secondhand. I was disappointed with the mixes of 'Reuben' & 'Money' though as Zappa said, the bass & drum tracks on the original master tapes were decayed beyond further use, hence the re-recorded tracks.

The 'Beat the Boots' box was bought from a fellow evening guitar class student who worked at the giant HMV store in London. It was a very limited import but he managed to secure one. He wanted to swap it for my original 'Licht Und Blindheit' by Joy Division but l wouldn't agree to it. Just as well as they're now the Holy Grail for 'Division collectors, not that l am one myself.
