    Where can you order this?!?
    Soundstage Direct has it for $79.99 plus 20% off bringing it to $63.99 plus free shipping.
    Thanks.

    I ordered it from STPs site.  I wanted to make sure I got the Plush 7".

    That's an awesome looking boxset!!!

    They did sound great on that tour. I saw them in Grand Rapids. They never disappointed me live. 

    I've seen some videos where Scott was obviously messed up but when he was on his game, he was an amazing frontman. 
    yes, all 4 times I saw him (VR x 2 and STP x2) he was on fire.

    Agreed. Saw them in 94' and then VR in 2004. They covered "Negative Creep" @HughFreakingDillon at that Velvet Revolver show and I thought the stage was going to explode.

    had they played that at either of the two shows I saw, that would have been epic.

    I saw STP twice in 2000 (No. 4 Tour - Vancouver and Tattoo the Earth festival in Portland, OR) and they were amazing.  Saw them again here in Victoria in 2010 and it wasn't nearly as good :(   Weiland did a solo show here a few years ago and they wanted $80 for it, it ended up being downgraded from a theatre show to bar show because of ticket sales.   I kind of wish I'd gone (hindsight is 20/20) but I remember the last show I went to not being so good.

    I also saw VR twice and they were pretty good shows too. 

    I find it crazy how big STP was in my teens, and then kind of drifted away after No. 4....  I still listen to their music alot.  I'm very much looking forward to a proper copy of unplugged.

    I see them still advertising the Plush 7".  I'm surprised there isn't more love for this album!

    I like Core, but Purple is my favourite by far.

    It's the first four albums I really like and I'd rank them:

    Purple
    No. 4
    Tiny Music
    Core

    Will all of these mega reissues all I really want is the vinyl, live show, and b-sides.   All i really want from this set is the unplugged cd... I already have core on vinyl and the expanded import version of the cd.

    Shangri-La Dee Da is underrated. Some killer songs on it: A Song for Sleeping and, Bi-Polar Bear are great songs from any album and, Dumb Love, Days of the Week, Long Way Home are strong. Like it more than No. 4. Purple is #1, Core, and then close between Tiny Music and Shangri La Dee Da.

    Just a head's up to those thinking about ordering the Super Deluxe Edition with the shirt, litho, Plush 7" etc.

    I ordered it back on July 26th when it was first announced. They shipped the t-shirt out on Aug. 15th and I received it on Aug. 17th. It was very poor quality. The material and the fit was okay, but the graphic was very blurry and pixelated. They shipped the "lithograph" on 8/31, and I received it on Sept. 8th. It was NOT a "lithograph" - it was a cheap digital print on flimsy paper, again very pixelated and obviously sourced from a low-res file - something you could get printed at FedEx Kinko's for a few bucks. I have since requested that they issue me a full refund and a postage paid label to return the junk I got so far. I'll buy the LP at a local record shop. The Plush 7" isn't worth paying the price for the rest of the package. :disappointed:

    Shangri La is way underrated. Dumb Love is one of their best rockers hands down. I remember putting it on for a buddy of mine who'd followed them in high school with me and he was surprised how good it was because we both dropped off after Tiny. No. 4 was too uneven and repetitive. I think I'd rank them Purple, Core, Shangri, No. 4 and Tiny Music. Tiny Music turned me away from them until No. 4 came out. Love Big Bang Baby, but the rest is just ok to me on that album. I also don't think some of the songs on Purple have aged well in comparison to their other albums. Something about the production.

    Album highlights for me:

    Core: Plush, Sex Type Thing and Crackerman
    Purple: Vasoline, Big Empty, Superman w/ Silver Gun, Unglued
    Tiny Music: Big Bang Baby, Tumble in the Rough
    No. 4: Down, Sour Girl, Heaven & Hot Rods
    Shangri: Dumb Love, Regeneration, Too Cool Queenie, Hollywood Bitch


    It's a hopeless situation...

    I've never actually listened to it. What I have heard just didn't sound the same.

    That's how STP were. None of their albums sound the same to me.

    Personally, I always appreciated that about them. They weren't like some bands that just crank out the same album over and over. 

    Self Titled was probably not their masterpiece, but it's a very listenable, enjoyable and engaging record. More so when you consider everything that the band had been through.

    you know, I can only come up with one word for that album: uninspired. some of the tunes are good, but just kind of "meh". The best track on the album is a bonus track on the deluxe version; it is a song that Eric Kreitz leaked with 4 others on the big empty forums after they originally broke up: Samba Nova.
