What are your favourite box sets? They seem to fall into two categories; the big macro-career document and the exhaustive, every fart'n'burp, treatment of a particular album or passage of work. I much prefer the former, but with acts you like, often you'll have it all anyway.
What has brought this to mind is that I picked up copies of the Kraftwerk 3D Catalogue and Bill Withers complete albums sets for £30 apiece recently and I'm loving them. The 'Werk in particular is extremely moreish, even though I have the more lavishly packaged Catalogue remaster set from a few years back and have always carried on playing my old CDs in preference to that, perhaps because the artefactual element is too strong with that one.
All time favourites:
1. Velvet Underground - Peel Slowly And See
2. Joy Division - Heart And Soul
3. The Fall - Complete Peel Sessions
What are yours?
