| Not sure this has been posted before or not. Thought I had read it somewhere here but couldn't find it. Sooooo, either way, this is a pretty awesome collection for the AC/DC fanatic! - Quote :
- So AC/DC has a new box set coming out. You’re probably thinking to yourself, “I have Back in Black and Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap, why would I want to buy an AC/DC box set? Here’s why. Backtracks
will be available in two editions. The first features two discs of studio and live rarities and “Family Jewels 3,” a collection of music videos and live performances from 1992-2009. Yeah, whatever, fine. The Deluxe Collector’s Limited Edition,” on the other hand is what you’ll want.
Manufactured in an exclusive run limited to 50,000 pieces, the deluxe collector’s edition of Backtracks includes a CD of studio rarities, two CDs of live rarities, the “Family Jewels Disc 3″ DVD, the “Live at the Circus Krone” DVD, a front-row immersion in the band’s scorching 2003 club show in Munich, Germany, and a 12″ long-playing album, struck in 180 gram vinyl, of hard-to-find studio tracks. The limited edition Backtracks includes a five-disc media carrier to house and transport the set’s three CDs and two DVDs.
In addition the deluxe collector’s edition comes with a 164 page coffee table book and an Original Memorabilia Reproductions Envelope containing an astounding array of facsimiles including the “I DO IT FOR AC/DC” button (the band’s very first tour merch), the 1976 “Lock Up Your Daughters” tour flyer, the Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap recording track sheet, a 2′ x 3′ 1977 Let There Be Rock European Tour poster, a Bon Scott parrot tattoo replica, an AC/DC logo guitar pick, an Australian Money Talks dollar, three b&w fine art lithographs of never-before-seen photos of the band in the Alberts Studio in 1977 and more. But that’s still not why you want the deluxe collector’s edition. Oh no it isn’t. The deluxe collector’s edition comes in a 12×12 replica of a guitar amp – THAT ACTUALLY WORKS! Yes, it’s a fully functional guitar amp. You can actually plug in your guitar and play along with the box set! Or better yet, play music that isn’t AC/DC. Regardless, if you buy one, you’re not only getting an assload of AC/DC rarities, you’re also saving yourself a trip to Guitar Center. The box set will come out on November 10, and you can preorder it here. Be forewarned though, it’ll set you back $200. _________________ ULTIMATUM - TOO METAL FOR WIKIPEDIA!

| I already posted on it and Phoneix bought it already and gave it quick overview. For some reason the search engine cannot find any AC/DC threads when one searchs for them. That being said ULT are you planning on buying the deluxe version or standard version of the boxset? | |

| That's funny as hell that you can actually plug a guitar into the box and use it as an amplifier! Still, a little too rich for my blood. _________________ "If you're a false, don't entry, because you'll be burned and died!"

I thought I had read about it, but the search engine couldn't find anything under "AC/DC" or even "box" for some reason. Regardless. I was not planning on buy this. I dont' have that sort of cash to spend. However, I was informed last night by a close friend that he had purchased a copy of the deluxe version for me. That was a shocker. _________________ ULTIMATUM - TOO METAL FOR WIKIPEDIA!

| That is cool your friend snagged you a copy, now that my money situation has changed (for the worse) I won't be buying the deluxe version and after the holidays I will buy the standard edition, when I ever I get some extra dough that is. | |

| Trust me, no one was more shocked than me. He's just a very generous guy, even with people he doesn't know. I was at his house and looking through his record collection. He had an unopened copy of the Black Sabbath 4-LP collection. A very rare gem. I told him I had a friend (Trog) who would kill to have that record and he gave it to him! Now that's generous. He had never even met Trog. _________________ ULTIMATUM - TOO METAL FOR WIKIPEDIA!

| Yeah, I posted this too a long time ago. I like it, the coffee book is pretty cool. I was hoping Rockin' In The Parlour or the rest of the score for Maximum Overdrive would have been on it. | |
