Judas Priest 50 years heavy metal box set


Anyone own this set?

on fence for purchase, already own old LPs’, first cd editions, and the newer ones with extra songs. 
pits 515$. A lot of money.

 

if you have one, once you received it, did you forget about the cost?

I received a confirmation and Ticket number for my claim. I will keep you posted.

Merry (Metal) Christmas!

@larsman 

 

thank you 🤘🏻
 

true…false, if it rocks, I like it.

I have a few poseur-ish LPs’ and CDs in collection. 
but, it was the stuff I grew up with.

most of what I jam is “true” 

also blues I love as well. 
when comes to metal, I love it, was my true calling, has pushed me through a lot of life’s tough times, and wouldn’t be the same man I am if it were not for metal, and the first anti nowhere league  - we are…the league. The attitude, and power of that record started most of my journey, along with the numerous early bands I’ve listed in several threads in here and my weekly trips to the flea market with my Dad. 
🤘🏻🍺🤘🏻🍺🤘🏻🍺🤘🏻

@arcticdeth - as Joey DiMaio would say, "Death to False Metal'..... And yer metal ain't false!

I purchased from a seller on eBay. Keep Metal Alive!

only 400$

how, where?

pm if need to :)

now they offer free shipping from UK, I paid like 55-57£ shipping, total was beyond what wanted spend. 
 

 May keep signed pics, sell the rest. 
alreadt have all studio on LP, CD, some on cassettes, and a couple 8-track tapes. 
 

did you contact UK, about replacement sleeves? I received a bunch when my set arrived, all packed on top of the box in outer box.

 

they may still have a few more, if you re-sell in a few months, will make some profit.

fav LP?  sentimental reasons it’s sin after sin, then rocka rolla, bought the 8 track sin after sin long time ago for my trailer at woodhaven lakes, and rocka rolla on lp used (pristine) from a used shop in late 80’s

 

once defenders and screaming hit, I was in awe at the direction they took. , as I was looking for faster and heavier music by that time, I was already into much heavier by that time, but Priest really kicked high gear w those releases. 
 

anyway, Merry Metal Christmas to all my brother/sister metalheads in here!

my “United -30th anniversary complete box” should be here tomorrow, I hope so, amazing band. Only 500 made, I found one with extras from Japan, cost a wee more, comes with pass, guitar pick, wrist sweat band used by Ortani.

all in pristine cond.  

 

thanks for wasting some valuable family time reading my dribble. 
Merry Christmas to all Metal/rivet/bangers heads this season.

keep Metal alive,.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

metal is not, nor ever a trend/fad/phase, it is a lifestyle!

I have been listening to metal since my first cassette purchase in about 1983-ish.

im sure I’ve mentioned, my first purchases were from a flea market near us, my Father and I would go after church every Sunday,  I ran to this vendor, who always had rare import cassettes, over a few weeks time, I bought crossfire, Motörhead, Satan jokers, tank, spartan warrior, , these cassettes were vital to my tape trading beginnings with many people in Germany, UK, Denmark, even many people in USA, who never heard many bands I acquired through tape trading, we didn’t have this internet trip, we had addresses and I gave out my ph number to many, talked to people from all over the US, IN ALmost every state, asking for, this, that! And sending out hundreds of cassettes,  I loved that, even receiving some cassettes from Shane embry, Alan marsh, and a few others, who I still have their original letters packed away somewhere. 
 

 I still listen and collect metal, although the LO buying has moved more towards CDs, as 1 LP either from USA, or UK, is well over 35-45 dollars, but I’ll look for a used copy if it’s something I really fancy. 
 

cheers to all.

keep Metal alive

Thank You for your assistance. I will write my email for replacement sleeves next week. I paid $400. Not bad at all for such a comprehensive Set.

 

Season's Greetings!

hope it works out.

No- no replacement Paper sleeves at this time. I am alright with the Set (mistakes and all). It is a really nice package celebrating The Priest!

 

Happy Listening!

@jafant 

 

 yeah, i had to get one, for sh*ts & giggles i guess.

already own everything. don't know my #, its still sealed.

you get the replacement paper sleeves sent??

damn Brits and their Pound, really damaged my CC, especially at xmas time.

maybe i can wait a couple years, and make some money on it.

already have a giant poster signed by all 4 org members, the live stuff, meh, too much live stuff, where r the bonus songs from the previous releases?? ill watch the tube vid again of opening it.

live stuff bores me unless its gary moore, rory gallagher, Thin Lizzy, the G3 cds, Uli Jon Roth live, & a few others.

 

 if i can at least get my $ back, i won't be upset.

I own copy #421/3000. This is an Outstanding Collector's set. Money well spent for me.

 

Happy Listening!

that is what i was getting at without directly saying is that you already have the albums and can play those.

 

i personally wouldn’t spend that much money on something like that as it’s only worth what you can get for it should you decide to sell it

Not sure, more a collectors piece. 
already have all studio albums, not a huge fan of live recorded stuff

 

 not many left at. The store.  Only 3K made or is it less?

might pop for one, have several box sets still sealed.  

lets just say you do spend the coin to get this........once  you get it, do you open it and play it or do you keep it sealed ?

or do you save up and purchase another one later on that you can play ?
