Joe Jackson A&M Years 18 Years, 11 Months ago Karma: 2  
Firstly, I did not buy this box (for a number of reasons - following) so I cannot write a complete review - but I can tell you why I did not buy it.


  1. No obis on the individual covers

  2. Inserts etc. For example, one of the cool things about Night and Day was that it had a "Night Side" and a "Day Side" with quite different labels. As with the Floyd releases the extra labels would have been nice. Same goes for "Big World": I can live without a second disc for this one but the labels would be nice (especially given it was a 3 sided album - wasn't it?).

  3. Price. These work out at 2,500 yen per release. That's not expensive but it's not cheap either. If we're going to fork out 22,500 yen in one hit directly to the manufacturer it would be nice to get either a little bit more (obis) or pay less (say 2,000 per release). It's not like they're going to have a few of the less popular titles sitting unsold.

Yes, Sam, but is almost the same situation with other boxes, like Lynyrd MCA Years, Rod Stewart. Steve Winwood, etc... they don´t include the OBIs, and they do always a booklet with all the lirycs, not the individual ones.

I think that is only to prevent that the individual tittles are being sold individually or something, if not I can´t understand.

By the way, this is my first post, thanks for the updgrade and the new forum.

Cheers

Domingo

Seems like the rule of thumb is, if there's a huge OBI around the box then there's no individual OBIs on the sleeves. Ditto Joni Mitchell box.
