Ashley's Guv'nor 4cd box set for £11.26 inc delivery.  I've got a couple of them already but at that price, it seemed churlish to argue...
Why do you want three copies?

I've got a couple of the individual discs (released separately) already...not the full box sets.

I guessed that's what you meant.
As to how many copies of an album you want...well, that's up to the individual.
I have, off the top of my head, eight copies of Liege And Lief - vinyl, pink island label vinyl, misc CD copies with bonus tracks, cassette (yay!), and as part of box sets.
I have twenty copies each of Dark Side Of The Moon and Wish You Were Here - one of the latter purely because it has a different shot of the burning guy on the sleeve - for much the same reasons as L&L.
I have recently bought additional copies of around 150 CDs I already have, just to play in the car.

Sort of a bargain, depending on taste.

In my bid to explore the work of Phil Ochs I found a twofer of his first two albums on Ebay packaged with a twofer of the first two Tim Buckley albums. All four albums for £12.

I am entirely unfamiliar with Tim Buckley's work though I of course know his story and his reputation. Unfortunately, after an initial listen, these two albums are for the most part not for me.

Tim Buckley albums vary enormously as to style and quality. The debut isn't  the most interesting album. I have a few of his , and really the only one I've found disappointing is Greetings From LA .  Try to hear Happy Sad and Goodbye and Hello. If neither of these grabs you he may not be for you.

If Gub grabbed a twofer of the first two Tim albums, then he's already heard Goodbye and Hello and it didn't do it for him.

I'm the same - don't really have the Buckley appreciation gene.

I found Tim Buckley to be, at the same time, difficult and genius. My 'in' was Dream Letter, which to me is an exceptional live album, helped along by the presence of Danny Thompson. My 'out' has been Starsailor which I just cannot get to grips with even though it contains Song To The Siren.

Cheers

Starsailor is the one I haven't got to yet. As always, there are some people who say it was his best album. I think it was his last.

My entry point was Lorca, which I heard a long time ago.  Strange really as it's a difficult album and now having heard others I don't think it represents his best work.
Happy Sad is a beautiful and seductive album imo, and Goodbye and Hello is all over the place in terms of style, but way ahead of its time.
I also have Sefronia on CD. I'm undecided about this one- again it's very varied, but not always in a good way  . The CD doesn't do it any favours either.
The 'sex funk'  of Greetings from LA  leaves me unmoved.

I don't think there's anybody on earth who would say 'Lorca' was a representative TB work, but I think it's a great one.  Weird funky cocaine music...what's not to love?

I adore the entire cannon of work...there's something in all of them and at least 3 absolute stone cold classics...
