Do you remember the first box set of records you owned or bought?

[Barry williams]

Mine was Sparky and his magic piano on 78s.

I'd bought a few albums and singles before I worked up to a box-set:

Bought in Our Price, Portsmouth in 84-ish.

I bought that box in my local charity shop for local people a few years ago in mint condition for £1.00.

Concert for Bangladesh was mine. I still have it now, but the box is a bit tatty, unfortunately.

 

[Bob McC]

George Harrison All things Must Pass.

 

[Mikeandvan]

No.

My mum regularly bought Reader's Digest releases

many were mush but this was pure gold

a window on the entire history of popular music to that date

fabulous curation and I played it to death

that reminds me - I hope I have a copy of He's In Town by the Rockin' Berries somewhere

The first one I bought was the Mike Oldfield boxed set. Years before that I borrowed a box set from the record library "Electronic Panorama"

 

[monkfish]

Don Sebesky - Giant box.

 

[Paul R]

Shut up and play your guitar.

Britannia music club. They sent a box each month, an evening with an orchestra, which amounted to 3 or 4 LPs a month. I never returned a box and learned a lot about classical music. They seem to have gone missing......

 

[Cav]

Irish Folk Favourites 4CD set, bought to play on my new Phillips CD player many years ago. Dubliners, The Fureys, The Kilfenora Ceilidh Band, Sweeney's Men, The Grehan Sisters.

Still superb.

 

[Joe Hutch]

'Biograph' by Bob Dylan, unless 'The Last Waltz' by The Band qualifies. (Anyway I think that's Mrs H's rather than mine).

Second box set wot I bought.

 

[Martin M]

Other than a k-tel like Various Artists album it was Thing-Fish by Frank Zappa which was a bit of a shock to the system...

 

[bernardhepworth]

Nick Drake - Fruit Tree

 

[mr.datsun]

It's still right there on the shelf.

 

[MVV]

'Biograph' by Bob Dylan, unless 'The Last Waltz' by The Band qualifies. (Anyway I think that's Mrs H's rather than mine).
