Subject: Wanted: Rocky Championship Collection Box and Poster
Mime-Version: 1.0
Fellow CED Collectors:
I'm looking for the Rocky Championship Collection box as well as the poster of
Rocky that came packaged inside. This boxed set consists of the RCA releases of
Rocky I, II, and III which are identical to the discs RCA sold individually. I
already have these three titles, hence my interest in just the box, although
I'll buy or trade for the complete set just to get the box (email me for my
trade list).
The story behind this boxed set is a rather interesting one. RCA pressed vast
quantities of monaural Rocky I's for the CED intro in 1981, and also pressed a
lot of monaural Rocky II's. CBS came along and released Rocky I and II in
stereo, leaving RCA stuck with their now undesirable mono inventory. In a
classic example of miscommunication, both RCA and CBS released stereo versions
of Rocky III at almost the same time, resulting in another inventory surplus. So
the release of this boxed set was a means for RCA to eliminate their excess
inventory of these three titles.
Rocky IV also exists on CED as a rare 1986 release. Although this is a CBS/Fox
title, it was actually pressed by RCA, as the CBS pressing plant had been closed
for some time when it was released.
