Is it too late to ask for this from my Secret Santa? :roll:

Jesus. Don't get me wrong..... Cocksparrer is great and one of the most underrated of the early punk bands.... but how many could they possibly expect to sell at $325??

i'm curious to see how it does. obviously they have a ton of fans, but is their core fanbase buying that much vinyl? the production bill for that would be massive. i guess it helps that the label that's putting it out is also a pressing plant!

True dat.

I wonder how many fans they really have. They're 100% underground through and through so even if everyone that likes underground punk digs them then I wonder what that would translate to. Obviously this question can't be answered but maybe I will ask if I ever get to the pearly gates.

i dont think $325 is really all that much for all the crap you get in the package

Agreed but it's a lot for any one person to shell out at one time. Of course, anyone that follows the band closely would probably spend more than that on their music over the course of years but it's a pretty big chunk of change for one sitting. For some people at least.

I had no idea they had so much stuff.
I caught onto them late, like in the last few years because of people on here.
Shock Troops is in my top 10 favorites of all time at this point in life.
It would be a pretty cool set to own for sure

I'd love to have it, but that's a lot of money.

Yeah, certainly wouldn't mind but the only new material for me is some newer live stuff. Before that, I've already got it all. I have much love for Sparrer though and it's a nice looking bundle. Seriously, all these years later, still one of my favorite bands. Kills me that I've never seen them live.

wow, I'd say it's worth the price. Not sure if I'm gonna have that much money to throw around anytime soon though.

If I had the money to spare I'd buy this in a heartbeat.
That Live Essentials one is what I really, really, really want.

Back In SF will do, though.
