Linda:
Can you find anything out about this Placebo boxset coming out in the UK? It says 10 discs which is more than they have as studio albums even if you include the new one coming out. I love this band and I suspect this is only reissues, but if they're remastered or there's any bonus CDs or tracks, I'm very interested.
Thanks!

Here you go, Pete:

Thanks Linda:
I'm speechless. I have some but not all of their albums. I was hoping these might come out individually with rare tracks, but the 2 CDs of rare tracks included, plus the "Covers" CD which was only available at iTunes is here, and the 2 DVDs which I never had. I see the new album is not here which means their term with EMI must be done and this is EMI doing this on their own. No mention of remastering, but the albums sound so good, what's the point?
I want this. But, it'll have to wait due to $$$ as usual. But, wow, what a collection! Thanks again Linda. Am I the only one here who likes these guys? They're awesome, and if you like David Bowie I think you'd like Placebo.

I'm a fan as well, but I'll need to verify the b-sides tracklists against my existing Placebo collection before making a purchase, especially since I already have the DVDs.

I seen Placebo in club here locally, these guys rock. I have many of their albums but will be trading them in for this set.

I love the Brit award show where Bowie and Placebo do 20th Century Boy - Placebo & David Bowie [Live At The BRIT Awards].
