[2019-05-31] The Atlanta Rhythm Section "The Polydor Years" 8CD box set (Polydor)

Description
After playing on other artists' recordings, the Atlanta Rhythm Section formed their own group, in which the group's name was thought up by Studio One's owner Buddy Buie and his two partners in the venture, Cobb and Bill Lowery. Signed by Decca Records, the band released their first album, Atlanta Rhythm Section, in January 1972. This Eight CD set features all the albums the band did for Polydor along with a raft of edits on CD for the first time, all re-mastered (by Andy Pearce and Matt Wortham) and housed in a clam shell box with an extensive booklet with new notes and album annotations, the perfect beginner's guide to one of America's most loved bands.

I was hoping for bonus tracks. Surely there's some stuff in the vaults. Different edits don't interest me.

I "invested" in the Japan SHM releases so I am all set. Nice Rock N Roll Alternative here though if you don't need the first two albums.

Bump: This has been pushed back to May 31st.

Renny · 26 Jun 2006

8 CD's in a 'clam shell box with an extensive booklet" that, in itself, would be something to see.

very nice price though, a little more than $6 per CD.

Another bump to add the tracklist.

Rick A · 23 Jul 2006

Wow, a slew of bonus tracks and re-mastering by Andy Pearce and Matt Wortham. I'm in!

Dental Floss Tycoon · 16 Oct 2007

Band founder JR Cobb passed just a few days ago. Only two of the originals left I believe.

Walter P · 20 Sep 2006

And I as well. :thumbsup:

Cancelled my Amazon Canada order @$65.24 in favour of this

Jay · 12 Jul 2006

Mine shipped from Amazon UK today.

Blair G. · 03 Aug 2006

Mine too.
Thanks to a £5 promo that I had forgotten about it worked out £25.06 which equals just under $34CDN.
Can’t imagine it getting any cheaper than that.

What about the import duty fee they charge.
Does that get refunded if no duties are charged?

David Baker · 31 Oct 2006

This is an early Black Friday deal today for £18.64. Once the VAT is backed out and shipping added, it comes to about $24. I couldn't resist at that price.

Thanks for the reminder, was on my Need to get list but kind of forgot about it. With your reminder and the great price the order is in. Thanks David!
