You can buy a nearly-unplayed copy of the complete 9LP+5CD+DVD+Book box set
on ebay now for $390. The package has a few creases from shipment.
There's also a
mint sealed copy for $450.
While some of the later loops were pressed individually, trust me - this is the set to own. The book is breathtaking, and the set also contains the two live performances of dlp 1.1 - Wordless Music Orchestra conducted by Ryan McAdams Live At The Metropolitan Museum Of Art, September 11, 2011, and Alter Ego Ensemble Live At The 54th Venice Music Biennale, October 18, 2008. These recordings are exclusive to this release.
I probably paid $350 with shipping when I preordered upon announcement of the original release. The mint sealed for $450 is really a fair price for 9LPs, 5CDs, a DVD of the film, and the oversize photo book.
Do it. Do it now.
