I'm interested in opinions on the pros and cons of breaking up large box sets, especially those with mixtures of media:
"bonus" vinyl in a digital box, bonus surround disc in a stereo box, duplicate dvds of blu-ray material, etc.
Case in point: my ELP Fanfare "exclusive" triple vinyl LP (and 45 singles).
I'll never play them unless I make a needle drop on my 1980s consumer turntable.
(No download code.)
I feel it could be "re-homed," but does that violate the integrity of the package?
Other examples: the PF Early Years, the recent blow-out sale on the super deluxe Aqualung, etc.
It seems the Floyd box has massive duplication of DVD and BD, do folks feel they need to hang on to both?
I only bought the '71 box (for Echoes 4.0).
I'd consider selling, trading, gifting or loaning the DVDs as long as I keep the BD.
I benefited from getting the 2014 Division Bell 5.1 DVD off eBay as a single disc.
My super-deluxe Warrior On The Edge Of Time vinyl is valuable to me not for the disc, but for the reproduction four-panel die-cut gatefold shield-shaped sleeve.
Among our collectors / investors / sandbaggers / profiteers / OCDs / hoarders
I'd appreciate your thoughts and experiences.
