Cooking Vinyl is really badly distributed here in Canada. Whenever I have tried to import anything from the record store from them its always been a bust...I do not want to order anything online anymore.
Any word on whether there will also be a Sonic Unyon (Canada) or SpinArt (US) release of the Catholics' Box Set? |

I hear what you guys are saying about the box sets.
It would just be nice to have a special container that holds all the cds.
One example is what the White Stripes did and they sold it at their concert. It was a little lunch box type container that held all of their current cds. Not sure, but it might have left room for new ones too. I would just like a nice little place to put all the FB and FB & the C's stuff to kinda show case it you know? |

There is an incredible Catholics version of 666 that was played live that I'd like to get my hands on...as well, they also did a great dual pedal-steel version of Monkey. If these were gone forever...it'd be sad as hell. |

European only? That's gonna cost even more for the US-citizens

I wish they would be at least a double cd live performance from this blazing band on stage. B-Sides and rarities are cool stuff, but I think the Catholics were absolutely amazing when performing live. |

Hmm, if he comes back with the Catholics again I'll buy it.

From the horse's mouth -> Dave -> Me -> you guys:
As far as a N.American box set goes, "it's been talked about, but there are no plans for a release".
So it's a European only affair.

I agree with Tre and Kathryn. A box set is prohibitively expensive for new fans, and redudant for current fans. A B-sides/rarities collection, on the other hand, would be great.
As for Nashville records, I haven't heard of any plans for Frank to do more than the two. I figure he can use whatever backup band he wants to, though. It doesn't matter much to me.

I hear "box set" and I think "cashing in," which is fine, more money for Frank, yay! But isn't that what the reunion was about?
I agree with Tre. B-sides, rarities and live stuff. And for the love of all that is holy, a non-Nashville record, please!

You know what, I think the box set is a bad idea.
In my opinion (for what it is worth) a better idea is to do a far smaller b-sides/rarities box set, well not even a box set. How many b-sides do you reckon there are? they would be easy enough to compile onto four cd's maybe, minimal packaging and sold as a set for something like £20/£25. This way you're giving the people who are the bread and butter of the solo/catholics career something new to buy rather than an alternative version of the albums they already have. There could even be a sort of best of live as one of the four cd's.
Basically, it's a low cost way to shift a lot more units and make the fans happy.In my humble oh so humble opinion. |

or some catholic sluts
but really, I think it's a good idea
but what are going to do
give all the catholic cd's away and keep the box?
or keep it all, from a collector's prospective?

A box set this early is like how Fire, Walk With Me was to Twin Peaks...or Star Trek: Generations was to Star Trek: The Next Generation...too hot on the heels and lacking general interest.
