1977: HELP!

hey i need advice, easyaction is sold out of the 4CD boxset 1977, i dunno whether its the fact that if i dont buy it now ill never get it, or end up paying too much for it years later on ebay or something, but i duno should i get it?

its on amazon still but they say theres only like two left in stock, i have the hippodrome gig anyway, and its one of my faovurite iggy CDs, so i guess it would make sense to get it for that as its better quality rite?

and i'd like to hear those alternate mixes of various songs off the idiot, they'd probly be the main draw i guess, are they worth it? then the others are two unreleassd gigs ithink, are they good, worth getting?

ive already got WTFS vol2, well ordered, but it was a no brainer u'no, this i dunno, so i need some help -worth it? just go for it, wat are the good points or bad points etc about gettin it?

thanks
HJW

I'd go for it ...... rare stuff on CD nice......if you get bored

sell it again.

oh yeh, forgot about that, plus if i got bored of it or realised it wasnt worth the money, i could sell it for more than i'd bought it for haha! tho i'd at least try to break even, yehi suppose ur right about that!

do you have it Ted?

As far as I know, the 4 cd's in the 1977 box also are sold separately. We've bought all 4 of 'em outside of the box at several times

i only have the hippodrome show

but this is redundant as i bought it!

ust decided to go ahead (im gunna make up for it over the next couple days by not drinkin or buyin nething at all...cos i also bought season three of arrested development, lol)

thanks anyway tho

the san diego gig is one of the most incredible pieces of recorded music i've ever heard.... by far the best iggy cd i own (not including stooges records!).

my mistake, its on the 'where the faces shine' box set. i got it as a bootleg.

volume one?

i fuckin love the san diego gig, its one of my favourite, i love modern guy ad rock action,a dn the other arrangements and everything, it is one of the best, they couldve released that as a single CD!

yeah its vol. 1..... and i agree modern guy and rock action are amazing, i prefer these versions to the ones on the nuggets album.... so much rawer but still so listenable.

are they not the same gig?

yeah. same gig but they've been cleaned up a bit on the nuggets cd.

oh rite, yeh i thoght so, i think i prefer the WTFS one too!!

well it arrived!!

and i dont regret a thing, its an amazing package, the only thing i had b4 was the hippodrome show and now its in better quality and comes with another track, nightclubbing

i havent had a listen yet, ill post my thoghts when i've listened thru but it sounds great

and its the best package EA has ever released, its an amazing package, amazing photos and the liner notes by kris needs and everything, its brilliant

has anyone noticed that on the tracklisting on disc 4, literally printed on the cd it says ''some wierd sin''!

so far thats the only complaint! and even then its not really a complaint haha

It's not due until October. Don't know when in October, I checked Amazon but they don't even seem to be listing it.
