Rory Gallagher / Irish Tour ‘'74 deluxe box set

Next month sees the release of an eight-disc Rory Gallagher live box set.

The late blues rocker has his Irish Tour ’74 double album (originally issued in 1974) expanded massively, with an enormous amount of previously unreleased material across seven CDs including dates in Belfast and Dublin.

A bonus DVD (NTSC, region free) features the Tony Palmer directed documentary Irish Tour ’74.

This set is released on 20 October 2014 and comes packaged in a ten-inch box and for the time being is available exclusively via the Rory Gallagher official store at a very special price.

I have lots of Rory live material including the original Irish Tour 74 remastered CD which I consider his peak in terms of live shows. At thirty quid this release represents good value for anyone that needs more complete shows of the same vintage plus the Tony Palmer DVD which you would think most fans already own as a separate release (I don’t as it happens). But I’m in 2 minds about getting this box to be honest. Disc 7 aside, the 3 live sets mostly comprise the same songs and I’m not sure I need all three – particularly considering what else is coming out by other bands that mean just a bit more to me.
It’s great that this material is there for those that want it though. Maybe I’ll cave in in time but right now I’m thinking I’ll resist.

I can echo paulb’s comments regarding spin cds… …looks like the best deal currently!

Richard

£29.99 delivered from spincds, or a ridiculous £62.03 currently on amazon uk

paulb

I have no connection with Spin except as a satisfied customer -I can recommend them and I am pretty certain they pay UK taxes! :)

herbert

amazon.de offers it for 32 Euro (free shipping!)

My Jelly

This Rory box set is being sold by an American Web Site My Play Direct. It will cost £32.50p with P & P being a UK purchaser plus additional importation taxes etc. So that ‘Special Price’ will rise. The official release date is the end of October 2014 so it could be another month after that when and if you receive it.

Jon

This is incorrect. MyPlay are a UK company also and ship from the UK, so no import taxes. It will be delivered for release date

Fat Old Bloke

$15 for postage !

Marcello

Please, note that in Amazon form germany you can order it at a reasonable price!!

Shame the DVD doesn’t contain 5.1 mixes of the audio such as the Allman Brothers Fillmore East or other unreleased footage. I’m in for the CDs however!
