I'm so happy for all you guys who are enjoying this. However I have to behonest, I'm really dissapointed. I've been waiting for what I think is about 6 years now for the box set of the first 16 albums. My recorded underwater sounding cd's are begging you Alice, please remaster us lol

Either way this is pretty cool forAlice fans for sure

YES!!! :clap: Now that's what I'm talkin' about!

I'm gonna have start saving for this, the price is irrelevant, gotta get it! There's too many cool things in this set that I'd love to get my hands on.

When I see words like "bootleg", "demos" & "rarities", among other goodies, I think it's about time we get something. Any word on what the "3 never before seen features" is on the DVD? Just curious.

This is gonna be one of the best purchases I've made in a while.....actually one of the best EVER! Can't wait!

Just preordered on Amazon. Got plenty of time to change my mind, but I doubt I will. A few years down the road, this thing could be worth $270! Imagine that! ;)

170 quid seems fairly reasonable to me for the 4 discs, DVD, book, tour programs etc. Just hope I can get it in Holland without having to pay for international shipping.

It's a shame people can look at a release as seemingly awesome as this and still just complain about what they aren't getting...

Hope we get a tracklist soon.

Well, for what it's worth, five of those albums have already been re - mastered.

You are ignoring or forgetting “Prime Cuts”, “The Life And Crimes of Alice Cooper”, “Good To You Again, Alice Cooper” and the re - mastered versions of “Love It To Death”, “Killer”, “School’s Out” and “Billion Dollar Babies”, for some reason.

Exactly. I am astonished at some of the comments so far (but then again, maybe I shouldn't be).

Funny, I didn't flinch at the price. Not that I'm made of money or anything, but by the amount of quality items listed and everything in the photos, I expected it to be at least $200 and am willing to pay it. There is a lot of manufacturing in that box! I own a small record label and I know that it isn't really cheap to make anything these days. I'm beyond excited to get it!

According to Amazon it's being released in the USA, by Bigger Picture, Bob Ezrin's label. The record store that I run deals direct with their distributor, so I can bring em stock! YES!!!!

Exactly. It is a very expensive item to produce.

Fair play for keeping this one secret Andy, must have been very tempting to hint about it!

I haven't been this excited since the Life & Crimes boxset was released (which was also very cool!)

I had a chance to reflect last night and now I'm glad I went ahead and bought this. It's just that I have a billion other things that need my dollars more than this but...sometimes you just have to treat yourself!

There was something ironic (if that's the right word) about the situation considering that at roughly the same time, I was having to deal with certain people on this board, if I can put it that way.

I have absoulotley no problem with the price. I think its fair for what you are getting. I have already ordered mine and cant wait. There is just no pleasing some folk. This is what we have been asking for for years.
