Oh No! The thought that these will end up hanging on some Vulture Capitalists wall, frankly, makes me puke. Really hope someone from ‘our side’ (ie actual fans) gets them and keeps them and Rory in the spotlight. Iconic isn’t anything like a fitting word for them, especially the Strat. 😢

I don't blame the family for cashing in

I don't blame the family for cashing in It grabbed the headlines BIG time here yesterday - a full radio show was dedicated to discussing it - I was due to go on to add my thoughts but Dónal actually pipped me to it at the end of the show!! He described his/the family's reasons for the sale, which are understandable, but I feel he misjudged the depth of feeling here for Rory and his legacy. Hopefully it can be retained here [even the '61 Strat would be something] but there are fears around it all - it's a wait-and-see operation at the moment. 🤞🤞🤞

Yep, I do - our Tánaiste (Deputy Prime Minister to you) is from Cork and there’s a general election due here before next February, so - to be a cynic - there’s votes in this! Plus - as i kinda said earlier - there’s still a huge affection here for Rory. So we still hope🤞 Personally I think U2 should put their money where their (well exercised) mouths are, buy the feckin thing and give it to Cork. It’s small change to them especially when you take into account the amount of ‘Off-shoring’ they’ve done with their gazillions🤬

That looks superb 👍 The first time I ever heard Rory was a Radio 1 "In Concert" in 1973. A week or so after Quo's Paris Theatre broadcast. I was hooked there and then! Hopefully, that will be on it.

18 cd's and two blue ray discs?
I'm sorry but you can have too much of a good thing, I would never get through all that!
Compared to us, Rory fans are being spoiled. Some of the others reissues, eg live 74,contain hours of top quality live recordings
Again, I just don't understand how Rory was recorded so often, with Quo recorded so little

I don’t have the free time to listen to that many different versions of the (largely) same songs - by ANYONE, doesn’t matter who it is. Still though, if by some miracle the set dropped in my lap I’d be deliriously happy 😁

These things are really nice to have but almost impossible to get through in your dotage But Rory has had some terrific releases these last few years. As already said, how come he was recorded and filmed so often compared to other acts? (naming none ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png) ) Properly managed so there was a record?
