When will they do it?

My intro to Led Zeppelin was from a TV ad where they were selling a 4-cd box set via mail order. That's the first thing that came to my mind.

Mine was a compilation CD my father owned that was something like a celebration of Atlantic Records. I will post it when I find the link.

On the Pearl Jam thing, I would be surprised if they did, perhaps when they are all done they will.

They never will. Remember this is the band that sang "I'm not dead and I'm not for sale"

Does everyone understand that tree_ (I assume) is referring to the band selling the rights to their songs to an investor, not some big box set to their fans?

I wouldn’t be shocked, when they’re very old (in a few years), if they did it to provide for their kids. I would do it.

Yeah they will sell it eventually. Most of the classic artists are doing it too.

10 years is a good guess but with this world economy collapsing maybe 5

NYT has an op-ed on this very thing just this morning. I'm only able to access through my campus network so I'm unable to share it, but:
