The Last Box Set 1-2-3 in existence is mine... |
|
Cost me $130, but dang, it's worth it. Picked up the last copy of the 1-2-3 Box Set in the known universe. Haven't heard All Fall Down (I own it on vinyl) in probably a decade. I've never heard the s/t Island release or Ping Pong...and I consider myself a big-time 7s fan.
I beg the forgiveness of the 7s powers-that-be, especially that of Dr. Love.
I shall make penance by banging my head with reckless abandon when this set arrives.
Late. Stay cool.

Hey Ping Pong,
I'm glad you got yourself a copy! Although the price may seem a bit high, it is hard to come by and I would not have played the waiting game trying to get one for $50 on ebay. Christ will return before you find a copy of it for $50 on ebay again.
If you think about it, it is really an investment. It is bound to increase in value over time. Now put on your 80's gear and crank it up!

Well, just so you know this isn't the last copy in existence.
Not to rub it in, but I have two copies.

I bought a copy of "All Fall Down" a few years ago on eBay and the seller included the 1-2-3 booklet. I personally love eBay...But like anything, you gotta be careful for bad apples.

Perhaps you'd like to share with the class, then???
(said he who was poised to purchase five copies at "the discount given to radio types" when Via put it out, but didn't, and has kicked himself in the arse ever since)

Heh. This thread's getting far more publicity than I anticipated.
Thanks for the advice/sharing info stuff, guys. (Please don't take my initial post too seriously, btw. It was only intended to be non-exhaustive and very tongue-in-cheek...)
Now, the only thing separating me from the rest of the 77s/7 & 7 Is collection would be More Miserable...
Late, dudes. Stay cool.
|
Well, I think I have two, maybe three copies of More Miserable. I know one of them is sealed.
Do you have the 7&7is box set? Oh, and there are a few singles out there that are more rare than any of the studio releases.
I would love for someone to post an exhaustive list of all the singles and any other foreign released stuff, like the Sparks version of S&S.

I do not have an exhaustive list, but recently compiled this "minimalist discography." If your goal is to land all of the 77s' released music without unnecessary duplication (for example, you don't need "EP" if you have "Late,") then you need these releases by the band, listed newest first:
Fun With Sound (7&7 iS)
Guilty Pleasures
Direct
Happy Chrimbo!
A Golden Field Of Radioactive Crows
Late
Radioactive Singles
8ighty 8ight / When Numbers Get Serious
Echos O' Faith
1 2 3
Tom Tom Blues
Drowning With Land In Sight
The Seventy Sevens [Pray Naked]
More Miserable Than You'll Ever Be (original credited to 7&7 iS; remaster, to 77s)
Sticks And Stones
Sticks And Stones (Spark Music, Europe) (for 1986 mix-down of "You Walked In The Room," differs from mix completed for Broken)
Then you need the following various artists compilations to grab every last morsel. I have listed the tracks unique to each title:
Boot Level (CD version)
Mercy Mercy [demo]
Good Directions
Smokescreen
Shirley, Goodness & Misery
When The Victims Control (SHARON MCCALL w/ SCRATCH BAND)
Wild Boys (SCRATCH BAND w/ STEVE SCOTT)
Thief Song (SCRATCH BAND)
Unsatisfied (SCRATCH BAND)
Someone New [alternate extended remix]
Flevo Totaal Festival: Live Tapes Volume 1
I Can't Get Over It
Live At Cornerstone 2000: Greatest Hits
Tattoo
Woody
Rocks In Your Head
I think that's everything. This excludes "radio edits" that have cropped up.
There is plenty of crossover as well. For example, additional cuts on Boot Level (not listed here) wound up on 1 2 3. Also, the "7&7 iS box" is covered by More Miserable, Sticks, and "Unsatisfied" from Shirley, so it doesn't make this list.
Hope that helps!

If you re-read my post you will see I'm looking for a list of the singles and any other special or foreign things. I have all of the items in the above list and then some except for the Flevo Total Festival: Live Tapes Vol. 1.

Not to continue rubbing it in, but I have way more than all of you. Not many, mind you -- maybe five or six for the archives, I think.
I have been tempted many times to autograph them and auction them off so I could get out of debt.
Should I do it?
p.s. this is not to mention the highly collectible vinyl stuff I have -- all of the first three albums, including the Euro "All Fall Down" with different colors on the cover AND Ping Pong & All Fall on A&M Records!! All of that plus every kind of foreign version of everything in every configuration, plus test pressings and the whole bit. Calling all high bidders -- let's get Doctor out of debt once and for freakin' all!

Well, duh. Of course you have stuff none of us have. I'd love to help you out but I fear the bidding would get out of hand.

No kidding.
They would probably be too pricey for me.

I did read your post, but don't have that information or I would've tried to throw it in there. I thought my run-down might be of use to some reading this thread, and was not intended as a response to any particular post. Wish I did have some of the ol' vinyl singles, especially. Would be great to have a complete vinyl & CD discography, promotional and commercial, foreign and domestic!
