yes, you heard me. in the interest of become a genuine Sinister Personality (notice the non-characeristic upper case), i will offer my comments: dears, boxed sets are -good-. they save money, and they aid people in being completists. take the nick drake boxed set, for example (which is fab, you must buy it right now. now. really, go. i could use some support from other nick drake fans: every b+s will love nick drake and must buy his boxed set.) i heard two nick drake facts, loved him, then found out there was a boxed set... so i bought it, saving me about $20, getting a nice booklet, and giving me a cohesive listening experience. if it weren't for that, i wouldn't have more than two of his records, especially since they're a little hard to find. the same with the magnetic fields 69 love songs... although i'll address that in a different post, because i need to rave about it. the long and the short of it: i paid $10 each for my b+s eps, and i - still- don't have dog on wheels. if the new fan can get three of them for less than $30, all at once, with pretty new artwork, and get indoctrinated in the meantime, what's so bad about that? i like it. - adam aconover@optonline.net Tempus Fugit is at: http://www.i2.i-2000.com/~conover/tempus/main.html +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister@missprint.org".
