Hey Paul,
Really interesting and helpful website. One question though – Where’s the update for the Humble Pie Fillmore Box that came out this week?
Thanks Jon! Apologies, that was an oversight. We do have one of the Humble Pie boxes somewhere… so will post something about this set very soon. cheers, Paul
Got my Jethro Tull Benefit set and as with most new ‘Collectors’ or ‘Deluxe’ editions the crappy cardboard case they all favour is bent and damaged.
Rubbish packaging spoils a lot of these sets as they are not built to last and can’t be replaced unlike jewel cases, which are cheap and easy to get hold of. I don’t mind a disposable cardboard outer slipcase but give us something hard-wearing inside it.
I buy a lot of deluxe releases and 75% are damaged when I first receive them because of the materials used and bad design.
