The Jam / Setting Sons box set

I’d love a copy of the dvd performances . . . . id take a copy on dvdr if anyone has one lol

Its on Recordstore.co.uk for£25 now

The demo’s sound like they’re mp3 sourced to me.

I saw it yesterday for £40, now I cant find where. I cant get onto that site Alan Fenwick. Can you see if you can still access it?

Now down to £40 plus deliver at greatofferstore.com

I have just ordered the 2 disc set from Amazon (even though I have the SE BBC set) and it came with the autorip feature which gives you an MP3 download of the album; this MP3 download is the three discs of the Super Deluxe Edition – BONUS.

I’ve just bought the 2cd deluxe from Amazon UK and the auto-rip was for the super deluxe. So I got the album with bonus tracks and live at the Rainbow ,the demos and the Brighton concert all for £12.99.

Agree with Ian. Ordered from Amazon thinking the second disc was the demo disc. When did this change? Feel badly ripped off!

And they wonder why people opt for illegal downloads!
Sheesh.

I was tempted to buy from Amazon. But track list put me off. US fans want the demos and stuff not a live CD almost similar to the one with live at the BBC. This is setting sons but seems like an ALL MOD CON to me. Very disappointed, Weller what’s up?

Just had the two disc version delivered from Amazon UK, which when I ordered it all the evidence was pointing to the demo disc as disc two. It’s actually got the live at the Rainbow set which I already own on the BBC set. What’s that all about? I want the demo’s etc, not a bloody live concert I already have and never listen too. Perhaps someone at UMC/Polydor can explain how this is not fleecing me?

Agree regarding the price for the super deluxe box set. Ridiculous.
Love The Jam…..have done so since 1978…..this price is just the record companies trying to squeeze every penny….but as a few have said, they are only shooting themselves in the foot.
Long live the affordable Jam!

waiting for postie to deliver the Wedding Present bundle – 8 albums = 24 cds, 8 dvds, some vinyl …..£104. Puts this into perspective. 1/2 the price at least.

It’s their greatest record. But…the Universal Music Boxset Store (http://store.universal-music.co.uk/euro/the-jam-setting-sons-cd-2014/invt/0602537946952) seems to indicate that the second disc included in the affordable two-disc ‘Deluxe’ version is the same London Rainbow Theatre live show that was previously available with the limited edition ‘The Jam at the BBC’ collection. Which means stumping up £100 if you want the demos/alternative takes and the previously unavailable Brighton live show. If that’s right, and please someone correct me if I’m wrong, then I can’t help feel this is a terribly cynical treatment of what should be a joyous expanded reissue…

Utterly ludicrous price. I’ve loved The Jam since I was 14 years old, but I can’t afford this. I paid far too much for The Gift box set. I’m not doing that again.

I think someone has forgotten The Jam performed Going Underground twice on Top Of The Pops. The first time with Weller wearing an apron. The second time on the Christmas show where Weller is playing his pop art guitar, a much cooler looking performance. The DLT intro can be edited out!

£79.99 at the Universal Store.

There will be a vinyl issue of the live set apparently

I’ll just get the 2 CD version with the demos

Agree with the above. Greatest period for Weller’s lot certainly but I’m not biting at that price either.
Shame as when I read the details I was up for ordering…..

Spindisc Newcastle has a preorder price of under £90.

With The Gift I set with the two discs edition, but felt somehow frustrated. Now I am doubtful about this box too.

Needless to say, one may ask what will happen with All Mod Cons which got just a “standard” deluxe treatment years ago (the same can be said also for Sound Affects).

One could wonder why Paul Weller (and the “from The Jam” two?)does not work on a proper book (not with Genesis publications again! Otherwise things will be even worse) on the band.

As only disc two has anything of interest to me I’ll hang on for this one. The price, as mentioned quite rightly already, is on the outside of stupid. I think I’ve got most of the rest of this set, as a huge Jam fan… And if I don’t have the exact gig here I know I have at least one similar soundboard from that tour, if not more. I’ll pass until the price comes down. Then I’ll do what I always do where The Jam is concerned… and buy!

Hopefully Paul will let us know via this site if there is a suitable price drop.

Having said that Sound Affects is the one I would be holding out for…

Will just have to wait until it goes on sale at Pop Market or some other such place. That big super deluxe version of The Gift was also super deluxe expensive–but I finally got it when someone offered it for about half of the original price. (Same with the recent Beatles Mono vinyl box, and the Sex Pistols super deluxe Never Mind the Bollocks…)

Just when I thought that The Gift was the all time winner of the most over priced deluxe edition, along comes 3 CDs and a TOTP DVD version of Setting Sons.

Tales From The Piggy Bank

Give it time. The box set will find its true price, depending on customer demand – if fans are unwilling to pay the price (as with early Super Deluxe editions), it will fall. The Gift eventually came down to the £40-50 price range (a more sensible price for a box set such as this). Even HMV are currently selling limited copies of The Who’s Tommy Super Deluxe at £50 in store.

Fabulous album, ridiculous price. I refuse to get drawn into this market for album casts offs, demos and live tracks at these prices. Weller should look at bands he ridicules like Tears for Fears, before ripping off his very loyal fan base. The 60 odd audio tracks can be downloaded on iTunes for £25 if that helps anyone.

I’d like this, but they can stick it, at those sorts of prices… There’s really no need for ‘prints’ and replica programmes; I guarantee they’re the sort of thing you glance at, and file away..
3CDs, plus DVD, with an informative 72 page booklet (no need for it to be hardcover!) and a RRP of £30 – £35 and I’m in…

Great album, but agree with all of the comments on price. The record companies are fleecing the fans

Ouch, £97…! And the TFF box is £37? Like multi millionaire Paul Weller needs the money.

£96 ! I thought the Jam were a band for the poeple .
Its all getting out of hand , Division Bell box was crazy and now this, seems like record companies just pick a figure out of the air .

Stop buying vastly over-priced box sets such as this and they might start releasing affordable packages.

I would love to see them produce thousands and not sell a single one.

I’m still an avid disc buyer but I concur…price is absurd! The labels keep shooing themselves in the foot. I know they want to squeeze every last dollar out of those of us that will keep buying the newest incarnation of the same material but this is gauging.

That looked worth picking up until I saw the price. £96.99? You’ve got to be kidding! I wouldn’t even want to pay half of that.

Love to get this but crazy price again,
