    AC/DC posted the following on Facebook:

    "VIP Deal of nearly 50% off TODAY ONLY at Pop Market for AC/DC "Backtracks"! The ultimate AC/DC box-set includes 3-CDs of studio and live rarities, 2-DVDs of rare videos and live performances PLUS a 164-page hard-cover book with tons of previously unseen photos and collectible merchandise reproductions!"

    http://www.popmarket...


    I figured this would be relevant to anyone who doesn't have Backtracks, and wants to pick up the deluxe version.
    Obviously, this can be deleted tomorrow.

    lololololol.

    That's what happens when you release shit that's been out years before this release/same stuff that's came out on every live album/DVD.

    Hahaha! Nice. I feel cheated, but good for those who don't have it yet.
  4.  
    I don't have it yet. I'll never have it. It's total crap. I'm done with the standard edition
  5.  
    I'll get it eventually,just cause I want the Krone DVD and the BUYV demos on CD.

    The Krone DVD has an awful mix, painful to listen to. And the BUYV demos are on the standard edition!
  7.  
    But Who Made Who's extended mix isn't :P

    and I still want Krone.
  8.  
    Awful mix?? The Krone DVD is great, pure rock n roll!
  9.  
    Just got mine. LOL. A hundred bucks for the lot. Though the only things in there I'm actually interested in are the Circus Krone DVD (I still haven't seen it), the Family Jewels 3 DVD (to replace my downloaded copy), and the Rarities vinyl.

    The annoying thing for me was that when I got mine on release, it was about £150 which was steep enough, but then they added £50 to ship the bloody thing if I remember correctly.
  10.

  11.

    I think mine had free shipping, but I could be wrong...

    Only thing that appeals to me in the box is the Krone DVD. But I'm sure I will end up with that at some point without having to re-buy stuff i already gott in standard release.
  13.  
    I have it "Downloaded" but it's still not the same.

    I want the actual thing, but not until it's the right price :)

    I think 50% off is a heck of a deal.... It'll never be in the right price... I don't see a 80% off thing coming soon.. but who knows!

    They just keep doing this stuff, like the one that was Backtracks + Iron Man 2 at a "low" price... my guess is that the deluxe version of Backtracks didn't do so well...
  15.  
    It probably didn't do well,

    I'll get this soon most likely.
  16.  
    The only thing I really wanted was the 164 page photo book. It'd be so cool if someone could scan it.....
    .....
    .....
    anyone?

    I want that Book too.I've seen the Book around before,but it was when it first came out.

    Couldn't tell you where to find it now though.

    Christ, you all bitch about it, yet you still want it. Just buy the damn thing, a good collector's item.
  18.  
    If this was say 75 dollars when it was first released, it probably wouldn't have been so hated.

    (And maybe a Largo Live CD)
  19.  
    blimey!! Hated? Thats a bit harsh. You either buy it or you don't, its got some decent stuff in it

    I don't hate it all. I will love Backtracks far more than I would ever love a bI cd/dvd pack.

    Backtracks > Black Ice live.

    Well, I've heard the word "hated" used on it. (maybe that was just for the amp?)

    Some good songs in it, no denying.It's the packaging/marketing that is disliked most then right?

    I hate how they put in the bookoo millionth version of You Shook Me/Let There Be Rock on there, when there are much better that fit into RARITIES category(She's Got Balls, Landslide, Badlands, Danger for lolz, Up To My Neck In you/Kicked in The Teeth from '77, Shake a Leg).

    And again. Lack of LMPMLIY on Family Jewels disc 3 is atrocious.

    Very ill advised release. Hard core fans own these "rarities" in some form and are not interested in photocopies of stuff from someone's collection. Whoever thought differently is a fucking meat head.

    Piss off with all the bullshit padding, slash the price, and give us something tasty.

    Never really sure why this a collectors piece.

    Also its way over priced. Bonfire was 5 discs and is only like $39

    Bonfire has also been out since 1997...the price has dropped quite a bit.

    Originally, it was a lot more than that.
