 | The Albums by Abba
Buy new: £31.08 Great value from the best "pop" group after the Beatles!
|
 | Bonfire by AC
Buy new: £28.08 / Used from: £25.83 Bon Scott live plus some out-takes + Back in Black - what a set!
|
![Keepsakes: A Collection [2CD + DVD]](http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51SPV2FPWVL._SL75_.jpg) | Keepsakes: A Collection [2CD + DVD] by All About Eve
Buy new: £12.48 / Used from: £8.98 A really good 2 CD set + DVD from a well above average band. Julianne Regan has a great voice.
|
 | Highway: 30 Years of America by America
Buy new: £32.29 A great 3 CD set, some of which sounds far fresher than the original vinyl.
|
 | The Last Waltz by The Band
Buy new: £16.88 / Used from: £23.26 I've still got the original 3 LP set, however this has more! Great value with the new lower price.
|
 | Beauty Is a Rare Thing: The Complete Atlantic Recordings by Ornette Coleman
Buy new: £65.98 / Used from: £56.00 A very important/significant box in jazz. Unbelievable value is Amazon's download price of £7.99!
|
 | The Bootleg Series, Vols. 1-3 : Rare And Unreleased, 1961-1991 by Bob Dylan
Buy new: £15.68 / Used from: £8.98 The first in the bootleg series and I think it is still the best.

Buy used from: £29.99 A great box that covers their whole career.
|
 | The Complete Live at the Plugged Nickel 1965 by Miles Davis
A very significant set of recordings even though Miles is not on top form. It is not the "Holy Grail" that some people consider it, and I can't believe the prices it comands second hand these days!
|
 | The Complete Bitches Brew Sessions (August 1969-February 1970) by Miles Davis
Buy used from: £25.81 Difficult to choose a second Miles studio box, (my favorite is in list 1). I chose this one as I consider it had a massive influence for many years on music that followed it.
|
 | So Many Roads 1965-1995 by Grateful Dead
Buy used from: £55.00 A wonderful compilation. This one together with my previous recommendations forms the basis of a collection. NB: At the time of writing you can download from Amazon for £10.99 - bargain
|
 | Astro Man (6 x CD Box Set) by Jimi Hendrix
Buy used from: £16.99 3 CDs of out-takes and 3 live. Although available to collectors in other forms, this set offers good value for money in a neat box.
|
 | Duchess of Coolsville: An Anthology by Rickie Lee Jones
Buy new: £16.98 / Used from: £15.74 A great little set at a bargan price.
|
 | Hampton Comes Alive by Phish
Buy new: £84.69 / Used from: £34.31 2 complete sets on 6 CDs. Great box with magnetic catches!
|
 | The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn by Pink Floyd
Buy new: £15.48 / Used from: £7.46 This album was like no other when released, and to see the Floyd in the 60's was something else. Includes a CD of early singles.
|
 | The Return of the Fabulous Hofner Bluenotes (3CD+2x10" Vinyl) by Chris Rea
Buy new: £29.98 / Used from: £28.99 A great companion to the larger set - not such good value though.
|
 | The Columbia Studio Recordings, 1964-1970 by Simon & Garfunkel
Buy new: £40.98 / Used from: £21.50 I've included this one as it's the one I own, but "The Collection" is better value now. Essential listening though.

![Born To Run: 30th Anniversary Edition [2 DVD + 1 CD]](http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/31mH7vNI8zL._SL75_.jpg) | Born To Run: 30th Anniversary Edition [2 DVD + 1 CD] by Bruce Springsteen
Buy new: £16.98 One of the all-time great rock albums with bonus DVDs - a great little package.
|
 | Original Album Classics: Caravanserai/Love Devotion Surrender/Welcome/Borboletta/Amigos by Santana
Buy new: £11.98 5 Santana albums for the price of one. Great to have the original album covers as well. Storage space minimal which is a bonus.
|
 | Original Album Classics: Inner Secrets/Marathon/Zebop!/Shango/Freedom by Santana
Buy new: £17.98 Couldn't believe it when a second 5 CD set came out - had to buy!
|
 | The Collection by Toto
Buy new: £28.98 / Used from: £65.81 A great set - one complaint; the artwork for the mini LPs could have been sharper. Music though great.
|
 | The Box by Van der Graaf Generator
Buy new: £35.98 / Used from: £43.00 Another great original British band. The box appears to be going for silly money sometimes now, however Amazon download is £8.69!
|
 | Forecast: Tomorrow by Weather Report
Buy new: £21.78 / Used from: £16.99 A marvellous 3 CD set + concert DVD. Great musicians; great jazz.
|
 | Hit Parade Box Set by Paul Weller
Buy new: £16.38 / Used from: £4.99 Jam, Style Council, solo work on 4 enjoyable CDs.
|
 | Thirty Years of Maximum R&B by The Who
Buy new: £69.99 / Used from: £13.50 A great retrospective of one hell of an act - make sure the neighbours arn't in and crank it up!
