13th Set
 Friday the 13th - From Crystal Lake to Manhattan (Ultimate Edition DVD Collection) $79.99 Normally I love the Friday the 13th movies so I thought I would buy this box set from Amazon. When it arrived I must say I wasn't very impressed at all with how the box set looked. Besides the fact that Paramount released it on 5 slim cases with 2 movies on each disc... on the 3rd disc, part 6 would not even play at all! The only thing about this set was the special features. Other than that, this set is not worth the money!  The Psychedelic World of the 13th Floor Elevators $32.98 Rather than go through the motions of restating what is on this box set again (as other reviewers have already done well), I wanted to note that this box-set is still an essential part of the Elevators catalog, even for the owners of the new 10cd set "Sign Of The 3 Eyed Men". Why? Because the stereo mixes featured on the studio albums Psychedelic Sounds and Easter Everywhere featured on the excellent set "Sign Of The 3 Eyed Men" are from different sources. Besides, the truly limited number nature of "Sign Of The 3 Eyed Men" (even tho they printed 4000 instead of 3000) mean that the 10cd set will be difficult to get in any case. "The Psychedelic World of the 13th Floor Elevators" still works for newbies and collectors alike. I am holding onto mine, especially as it also has the 'fake' live album which isn't on "Sign Of The 3 Eyed Men". Alternatively, you can buy both (if you can) and then you have all bases covered. |
