1. Not sure if BestBuy will be pricematching anymore with all this latest buzz about them

2. What's new in this box set that isn't already out there?

It's chalk full of demos never heard before, I myself was a little disapointed with it, I'm not too big on listening to demos since most sound horrible most of the time. A lot do sound good quality wise but there are some that don't sound good on here. The one thing I dislike about this boxset is how most if not all the money is going to Courtney Love, which IMO should not get diddlie Dave and Chris should get the money from the sales, not the herion queen tis why I got it the illegal way, now all I'm looking for is the DVD that comes with it.

A little over $29 & change for me with tax. I don't want to open this thing up just for a gift card. Why oh why couldn't they just do it simple & give you a gc with purchase?

 

[SendTrash]

Awesome.. however, this isn't a box set of their complete music collection correct? Is a set of that magnitude ever going to come out? or is this the last, big box set that is coming out for Nirvana?

 

[MustISO]

I was disappointed as well. I was expecting much more from the box set. I think a lot of people are going to be for a surprise when they hear it.

you sir, are a piece of $hit. courtney is not the only one who is getting money from this. dave, krist, dale crover, aaron burkhard et al are all getting royalties from this. of course if you knew anything about the band and this release, youd know that.

but anyways, on topic, this is a must have for any nirvana fan. i wouldnt recommend it for casual listeners, as its just too rough around the edges, but there are some REAL gems in here, that will appeal to the more hardcore fans. do re mi is a great indication of what a great songwriter kurt was and where the band (or even just kurt) was headed with the music.

1. Just did this deal at best buy today. But I guess YMMV.

2. 60 previously unreleased tracks, out-takes, early recordings & demos
Band home movies & secret recording sessions

 

[lokiju]

Well seeing as I have every possible Nirvana CD I could get my hands on, it looks like I'll be getting this also. Mostly for the DVD since I'm sure I already own every demo CD every produced by them.

Well I got the deal, but make sure you bring the printed ad from Target that came in the paper or that you can get at the store, Best Buy does not honor printed ads from a home PC and arguing with the manager didn't get me anywhere either.

But none the less, I did get the deal and in the end factoring in the BB gift card I spent $25 which isn't bad at all!

Good find OP!

 

[lokiju]

Well I listened to some of this the way to work today and there are some gems in the rough here, but a lot of it isn't something a casual Nirvana listener would necessarily like.

 

[SendTrash]

Well, these must be of better quality than the bootleg demo mp3s that I have right now.. going to try to pricematch.. do I need the original weekly ad? or is a print out okay as well? I hope they just call target so that I can pricematch.
