Use Your Illusion Box Set

[nyoilers]

G'N'R is releasing a 97 track box set of its 1991 releases.The supremo version is going for $499.98 on their website.

It would be a nice Christmas for me if anyone was wondering what to get me !

[heavyharmonies]

5 CDs and a bunch of miscellaneous crap for $500. Hard pass.

[tts42572]

I guess it's nice for the ultra super fans but easy pass for me.

I'll check out the remastered versions on spotify though 

[lettard]

Yeah...even if I did have a spare $500 lying around...it's a no

Probably be the same as Appetite, an overpriced collection with all sorts of bits of paper in it with pictures etc, and then a disc only version for $100-$150

[nyoilers]

I remember it being a very big thing when they were released.

Even Ozzy released No More Tears on the same date.

[whiplash1972]

 

It’s a no from me …

$100 per 💿 is a bit steep by any standard

[Dead Planet]

Nothing worse than bands that screw over their fans with expensive useless shit to make a buck....they can shove it....

Ok, I only have access to the UK site but it's pretty much as I said

Most expensive version is £434.99 and contains

UYI Super Deluxe 12-LP box with 97 total tracks – 63 unreleased audio & video tracks. UYI I & II albums remastered for first-time ever. LIVE IN NEW YORK & LIVE IN LAS VEGAS albums are first-ever-released complete concerts for UYI-era GN’R. LIVE IN NEW YORK Blu-ray features full concert film in HD with Atmos, 5.1 & stereo audio. 100-page hardcover book with unreleased photos & images. Bonus items include replica Conspiracy Inc fan club kit, 10 double-design lithos, 4 backstage passes & much more.

So that's the vinyl boxset with all the crap

Next up is the CD version which comes on less discs than the vinyl and costs £264.99 (£295.99 with a hoodie added, £272.99 with a t-shirt instead of hoodie)

UYI Super Deluxe 7-CD box with 97 total tracks – 63 unreleased audio & video tracks. UYI I & II albums remastered for first-time ever. LIVE IN NEW YORK & LIVE IN LAS VEGAS albums are first-ever-released complete concerts for UYI-era GN’R. LIVE IN NEW YORK Blu-ray features full concert film in HD with surround & stereo audio. 100-page hardcover book with unreleased photos & images. Bonus items include replica Conspiracy Inc fan club kit, 10 double-design lithos, 4 backstage passes & much more.

There are cheaper versions, but they only contain 4 CDs or vinyl and no blu rays.

[Darkstone]

I can fully understand how GNR's mega fan completists would be all over this.

I'm well beyond that stage now. I know it's all about the music, but I can relate. 

Back in the day there were so many bands that I loved, but only 3 that put me into that "completist" category.

"W.A.S.P.", "Queensryche" and "ten". 

 

[Geoff]

I wonder if the 63 unreleased audio and video tracks are just early versions of songs on the album/s. 

 

[CureTheSane]

Saw 5his advertised.

Remastered I and II 

A few we live discs. Nothing actually new, not even session song as to h as t didn't make it E cut. Yawn.

Just live recordings, not even b-sides or alternate versions. I'm sorry but this is a waste of $. 

[Doggy]

Meanwhile at G N' R's office 

[nyoilers]

There is a new mix of November Rain done by Steven Wilson

I think that the original November Rain on Illusion II is being replaced by the Steven Wilson mix

I doubt most gunners fans would even know who Steven Wilson is though. I would be interested to hear his mix.
