Chris Cornell Box Set

[foou33]

So this is coming out, some unreleased stuff, too bad whoever is in charge of Scotts estate couldn't do something similar.

I've gotta say, this looks pretty comprehensive. It says Jeff Ament was creative director, but I'd wager everyone behind this was both competent and fans/friends of Cornell. Glad to see the entirety of his work get a solid retrospective, he did so much that some of it could easily be overlooked.


Something like this being done for Scott would've been great, as he went in similar directions to Cornell career-wise. He fronted a big rock band of his own in the 90's, joined a couple superbands in his day, had some largely overlooked solo work. Overall, I'd say Chris was more successful in his ventures but that doesn't mean they didn't take similar paths in their careers. I imagine something like this for Scott would be enlightening for a lot of people, casual listeners who mostly knew him as the face and voice of STP and VR. It would've also been a nice scope of his talent as an artist.

Got almost all of it though as it has almost all been released officially. So many just plain album tracks on there.

Seems like it would suit casual fans more, as they might not already have all the SG and solo albums, but then what casual fan is going to pay that much money?

Good Lord.

$300???


This is all free on the internet.

I'd REALLY, REALLY like to see something like this done for Scott. It's well deserved and probably the only way to get all the various projects under one umbrella.

Wouldnt spend that much for Scott box set, geez

I'd hope they could cut this into multiple options (CD/DVD only, Vinyl only, with or without special artwork) so more people might consider purchasing.  $300 is certainly a lot when really the only new material here is live tracks.

It'd be great if something like this were to be created for Scott.  If things hadn't soured, I could've seen Doug as someone who might take the lead to try and do something.  But since he seemed to have written off most people by his end (and vice versa), I'd say the only way we'd see something like this would be if/when his estate is running low and needs a $$$ charge.

Spoke too soon.  I see now that if you back out of that direct link, to the rest of the store, they do provide cheaper options.  2 LP ($40), 4 CD Deluxe ($60), and basic CD ($15).

Good job they did putting this together.
