Unless of course, this is just a product and the accounting people need to work out the market value and asset realisation point on the elasticity of supply and demand graph. If it's done that way, then its north of £120. Is it a money maker? Well the guys are loaded already. Personally, I just think it's Page struggling to let go of the Zeppelin, and let it fly off. He craves the band, and it's his baby. One for the collectors no doubt, but it will cost them, that's for sure. Come on guys, just one more tour.

If it's a money making thing, it'll be a big number. Let's see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjmooney Posted January 27, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted January 27, 2018 The latest Dylan Bootleg Series release (gospel years stuff) was £134. 8 CDs, 1 DVD, glossy hardback book, box. Too much, really. Of course, I bought it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisp65 Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 Bollocks to crazy prices. It costs that much because some people will pay it. I guess, best of luck to them, I guess they're buying a nice 'thing' in the same way I'll pay an extra fiver for the vinyl on top of the mp3. But I'm just not in to that end of the market. It's not that I don't have a hundred quid, it's the principle. Why on earth should the U2 or Neil Young or Queen industrial machines get that kind of money with another re repackage of something 40 years old. Every £140 to Bob Dylan stifles the sales of 10 wannabe Bob Dylans. Which feels a bit ironical? I'm going to a gig in a couple of weeks where the gig and a copy of the new vinyl album and a chat with the band is costing £25. When I saw Selector Dub Narcotic back in the summer, £20 for vinyl album, a pin badge a gig and a chat. Really makes you wonder how on earth someone producing very low numbers of units can do that for £20, when an Iron Maiden mass produced repress product is £30 just for the record. Piracy is killing music, as they say. I guess I could have used that gig money as a deposit on a re release of something nice in a box with a booklet. But, absolutely each to his own. I'll happily pay £4 for a coffee in a non recyclable disposable cup, so I'm in no position to throw moral high horse stones! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisp65 Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 I think it was @Xann that said picture discs ain't always top notch quality. This one's particularly grindy sounding between tracks. Sounds like the needle's cutting a new groove every time. Still got some tunes on it though. First copy of Plastic Letters that I had was from whatever the american version of a NAAFI was over in Germany in about '78/'79. I'd like to say I was super cool and spotted the next big thing. Reality is, my uncle in the RAF in Zweibrucken bought it, didn't like it, so gave it to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously not their normal albums, but that live acoustic album is superb. You can hear the Dylan influence.

I know it's regarded as something of a classic, but I've never bothered to investigate. Other priorities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
