Buy.com is selling Low's A Lifetime of Temporary Relief 3xCD/1xDVD set for $10.98 ($50+ at most places) and Phil Spector's Back to Mono 4xCD box for $14.98 ($60+ elsewhere). Aaand, through the 31st of this month, you can get $10 off of a $30 purchase if you go through Google Checkout, so find something for five or six bucks more and yer golden. Buying either of these never crossed my mind before, but this price? Fuck yes.

That Low boxset...how far does it go? I mean, does it have songs from The Great Destroyer on it?

Unfortunately, no. Chronologically, it spans everything from early "bedroom demos" to vinyl-only tracks from Trust. I came across this and decided to pick it up. Couldn't pass up that price.

$10.98!! Are they going out of business or something?

That Spector Box Set is worth that price just for the Christmas Album, but you may also like blaring songs like The Crystals' "He's a Rebel" at top volume with the windows down, confounding everyone within ear shot 8)

Thanks for the heads up. Looks like everyplace is dumping the Back to Mono box. Amazon's got it for 12.99. I always wanted that box, but it was kinda pricey before. Got mine tonight and just finished hearing River Deep Mountain High...tons of great stuff on there.

That and Save the Last Dance For Me are sheer Tina and Ike genius.
