  2. 100 copies? Wow, that’s extremely limited. I’m surprised such low quantities get pressed at all. I once made a 7″ as a joke for my nephew (featuring his 90’s trance music) and I had to buy 300 copies at the pressing plant – still got 290 copies left, haha. Most expensive joke/mistake of my life.

    1. I own the Rock ‘N’ Roll Music cd-box of Chuck Berry. It’s a normal size guitar case with 16 cd’s and two books. Only 88 copies were pressed when Bear Family released it in October 2014. Chuck Berry turned 88 years old then and they celebrated it with the box. It cost 450 Euros to me. 1200 Euros is the price in Disgogs at the moment.
