3.0 out of 5 stars AC/DC BackTracks Deluxe Collector's Edition, October 29, 2009

For starters this set is not cheap. You can save yourself some money by ordering it straight from Sony [...].

Anyway back to the review. If you are a diehard AC/DC fan then all of this material will not be new to you. Most will already have the early Australian releases. The Krone Circus show is unique in the fact the venue is small. The boxset candy is pretty cool. The book and the 3 photo's from the studio are my favorites. The CD's as well as the DVD's will arrived with suttle surface scratches. This is due to the coardboard sleeve that they are shipped/stored. I immediately changed mine to jewel cases. If you are OCD about your discs, as I am, then you will join me in telling the artists and the recording labels that digi-packs and paper sleeves suck and accomplish nothing more than damaging the CD's and DVD's stored therein. I wish they would just stick with the original jewel case.

Bottom line: High price + AC/DC = I don't care I have to have it.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Must Have For Di-Hard Fans, August 15, 2010

If you're a long time fan, you will love this trip down memory lane with the replica memorabilia and the old Australian releases. Or, if you're a new fan like me who wasn't around to experience the band from early on, you will enjoy this connection to the past you missed. Also if you own the Family Jewels DVDs, this brings the set up to date up through the Black Ice videos. If you are trying to collect live concerts from AC/DC, this set includes a hard to find full-length concert from the Circus Krone July 17, 2003. While the Circus Krone concert doesn't match near the spectacle of the Donington show or the No Bull show from the Ballbreaker tour, it does catalog live performances of the classics as well as some of the more forgotten tracks such as "What's Next to the Moon". All in all, this is a must have for serious fans of the greatest rock band of all time.

3.0 out of 5 stars Bonus material from collector's edition...??, May 15, 2011

I wish they would just release the extra 3rd cd of bonus material and the Circus Krone dvd separately since the deluxe collector's edition is no longer available, and way too expensive (over $200 usually). I also believe Family Jewels should be reissued as a 3 dvd set now... even on bluray would be nice!
