Anyone who hasn't gotten it yet, should. The dvd is terrific and the book of lyrics and photos is gorgeous. I haven't listened to the record booth records or the audiophile copy of the lp yet 'cause I still haven't replaced my dropped turntable, but one day...

This record is one of my favs from Uncle Neil, and favorite Third Man releases to date. Where does it rank to any of you among the many Third Man creative endeavors?

I like it. Pretty nice for $75, compared to what some things are selling for. I would have liked a nicer box for the 45's and a better designed inner box to hold everything better. I probably will store everything separately, not in the box. But the artwork and the music is ..... heartwarming.

Not my favorite TMR release, not sure you can even call it that since they did not sell it themselves. But they put in all the ideas and artwork I suppose, definitely did all the music. It is cool. I love Neil Young for sure.

I guess my favorite is still the all blue Blunderbuss Invert Lightning Bolt I got. URP slipped a few blue ones in there. Its a beautiful record !!! Paramount Box Set is a work of art !

I like the Sun reissues.

Lots of good stuff. The Ultra LP is a trip. Hitting the groove on the A side takes some practice !

They have done a bunch of cool stuff.

I wish they would do some more live shows, my favorite part. They have been busy I know. Maybe with summer coming on they will announce a show or two.

Call me a fan !

I think the Paramount set has to be my favorite TMR release to date, but this one is definitely in the top 5. TMR may not have distributed it, but they were so involved that it should be considered one of their releases.

So there ya go, Woody, it's officially a TMR release.
