Bob Mould Distortion 1989-2019, the 24-disc box set that was released a few years back obviously didn’t sell. I just picked up a brand new copy on Rarewaves for £28. It’s also on other sites at bargain prices too.

Thanks for the heads up! Ker-ching!!
Now that is a bargain.
up to £31 but still a bargain. ta
Thank you, @Mr_Hump!
Just got the 3-LP Vinyl and the 24-CD sets for under £60 at AUK
There were Sugar and solo LPs up for a tenner as well. If you’ve never heard Copper Blue do take a punt
I’d be insulted if I were Ted Moult… is my work worth that little?
Poor sod’s been left with an Everest of unsold copies to shift
Supply and demand – interest from here, I would suggest, has pushed the price up to £62.
However I did bag the Robert Palmer Island Years, 9 CD set for £39.
Me too – nice!
The Bob Box has brought me a lot of enjoyment, well worth it at this price, 24 CDs for €39!:

At the vinyl of 1989-1995 (the well known stuff!) has bespoke sleeves and splatter vinyl – 6 LPs for €58 :

I hadn’t realised it was so big! I expected a compact Dylan live box, not a big 12 inch book. Even better value.

It is indeed a beat(er) of a box. Amazed just how awesome Copper Blue sounds after all these years.
While basically bought for Workbook and the Sugar albums, am looking forward to working my way through this.
Given the ruinously poor sales leading to the swinging price cuts, wouldn’t like to be the record company exec who signed off on this.
I bought the 4CD version of the Distortion 1989-2019 box when it came out, and I’ve certainly enjoyed it. Nice package.
To my chagrin, I’ve never seen Mr Mould live. I’d love to, but he shows little inclination to come all the way over to Sweden. Pity.
I used to have a soft spot for Mould (write your own joke) back in the 80s/early 90s and I liked his relatively recent ‘Siberian Butterfly’, but somehow I can’t find the will to dedicate time to this box set despite the great value. Maybe I’ll go for the 4CD version. Sometimes you just run out of ‘space’ in your life for music that you might once have enjoyed.
Bob Mould is doing a European tour this November, including 3 dates in the UK and his first Stockholm gig for 34 years. Interesting:
