Blood, Sweat and Tears Fans

[MylesBAstor]

Not online yet but see in the new Acoustic Sounds' catalog that Chad is coming out with a four album BS&T box set. The albums include:

Child is Father to Man
Blood, Sweat and Tears
Blood, Sweat and Tears 3
Blood, Sweat and Tears 4



The collection will be available as:
4xLP 33/13 box set: $170
8xLP 45 rpm box set: $265
4xSACD set: $150

The 45 rpm ORG reissue of Blood, Sweat and Tears is amazing and assume Chads' will be as good as better. Plus three other albums!

I'll have to pick up the 2nd album, one of my all time favorites, but I'll wait to hear from you which is better between the ORG and Acoustic Sounds release!

May 5th release date. Four album box set. $265 (45 rpm); $170 (33 rpm) .

Unless one is a huge fan, the pricing on this is a bit much if you ask me. I'll pass.

I already have three of the four albums in good-sounding pressings, so this one is an unlikely purchase for me too.

That said, famous last words . . .

BTW, I agree with Johnny that the pricing is a wee bit steep.

8 LPs at 45 RPM in a box set for $265 is not outrageous. The 7 1/2" 4 track tape of BS&T is outrageously good even if a bit noisy.

I agree. 4 x $35 each plus the packaging and insert? Two LP, 45 rpm albums are going for $60 each so that without anything else is $240. But I understand it's a bit of money too. Just that Chad isn't ripping people off and he thought about his customers in offering a 33 rpm version. I don't think,he did that for the SRV box set or Doors.

I'm in on this. I've got the ORG, I hope these are as good.

When you break it down like that, maybe the price isn't as outrageous as I originally thought, It's still a bit of coin, though. At least for me!
