ouch...

Sweet, keep the audio-titles rolling!!
No mention of what audio configuration these are in.
I have the MOFI SACD 2.0 release of Doolittle, it's fantastic...but getting the albums all on Blu-ray, that's hard to pass up.
Go Blu! Hopefully the Blu's will be 2.0 24/192 and 5.1 24/192.

Very tempting...but pricey. I already have all the available SACDs. All these insane box sets are coming out now that are very expensive.

Same here I already have surfer rosa, do little, and bossanova on SACD and LP. Hmmm. I dunno.

the pixies are awesome, but that's way too expensive.

how is that way too expensive? the cd versions and the blu-ray versions separately would cost you around $300 if you're lucky. $179 is a deal. a real deal.

I think 175 is a good deal because the mofi sacd/cd version costs about $30 each. The question is, will the box set sound as good as the mofi versions.

i want one! but hella expensive! why! I didn't read if it had like live footage, does it?

Clark Kent · 08-18-2009, 04:56 AM

I would love to pick this box set up, but so many expensive items are coming out in the next few months. I already have the three Pixies' albums that MFSL put out on SACD, so those will have to do for now.

dobyblue · 09-15-2009, 08:06 PM

OUCH! I was hoping Amazon's price would be more reasonable than the Artists in Residence website as they usually are...but...

Deluxe - $249 - http://www.amazon.com/Minotaur-Delux...3045123&sr=8-1

Super - $649 - http://www.amazon.com/Minotaur-Pixie...3045123&sr=8-2

Bah!! I want these albums in 24/192 surround on Blu-ray, release them separately you gits!

phansson · 09-16-2009, 04:05 AM

The Pixies are one of my favorite bands. I saw them in Dallas when they opened for U2 in '92. Incredible show.

Ordering box set now.......

the pixies are great, but these are just way, way too expensive in my opinion.
