Yep, after winning this ebay auction cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=200120104015&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=010 on the 25th of June, I finally received the box-set this week (31st July). Been away working all week, so I was hoping i'd find the Australia Post docket in my letterbox as I got back home today, telling me to get my arse to the nearest post office to pick it up.  I was a little worried after opening the parcel, as the metal clips & handle looked a bit worn (I think I can clean it up though), but after checking the discs, I was rapped to discover that they didn't appear to have been used before, as described by the seller. BTW, if you're in Perth, the seller told me she bought it from 78 records in Perth city a couple of years ago. Have a squiz there - who knows, you might find a copy! |

Well it looks better now, since it was just dusty on the handle & easy to clean.
Really enjoying the songs. So much good stuff on here...
Cherry, Ugly, Pennies, Tonight Reprise & The Last Song are all new to me & are just as good as the more well-known hits from this box set.
I also now have a new appreciation for James' input into the Pumpkins & i'm missing him more than ever, (not dissing Jeff at all though!)...
Said Sadly, A Night Like This, The Boy, Believe, Tribute To Johnny & The Bells are all excellent.

Nah, i've had parts of it on my PC for years. Couldn't find every track though.
I just wanted to own all of it, in it's original form & now that I have...I can't believe i've lived this long without it.
;D

i still dont have AFH box set... I can offer you one-fifth of the box-set, Tarantula - I bought the "Zero" disc years ago, when I found it in a JBs. Let me know if you're interested. |

I remember the day when i found my copy of TAFH, after I discovered it existed only to hearing it out of print. Was told be JB Hi Fi that it was out of print, few days later was wondering around Sanity to see it sitting there on the back shelf behind the counter. Didn't care how much it cost, i just had to have it. staff took it down, and it had dust on it. Can't believe it would of been sitting there collecting dust without any other Pumpkin fan noticing that it was there.

Best. Box Set. Ever. I bought mine when it came out, pre-ordered it actually - one of the best things i have ever bought SP-wise. So many great songs.

Yeah, the most awesome boxset ever. The songs on the Zero disc would just about have to be among my favourite songs the band ever did. Bought mine about 5 years ago on ebay. Paid $150 which means I probably paid way too much at the time, but it was totally worth it - how can you put a price on it!?  My "This Box Belongs To" is still blank, but I'm always tempted to write in "Billy C" and try and copy his handwriting or something, but that would be lame.  |
