box set

On Thursday, a handful of classics from the height of his fame are being repackaged by Rhino Records into a massive box set befitting one of the most influential comics to ever hold a microphone.

Scott Saul, who authored the 2014 book “Becoming Richard Pryor,” wrote the liner notes of the box set.

The Age of Pryor has never ended,” Saul writes in the liner notes of the box set.

But since 2017, the most highly anticipated promotional item among film critics has been the Neon box set, a gorgeous annual package containing all the indie distributor’s releases on individual DVDs.

“In our New York office, we have the Janus 50,” says Brown, referring to Criterion’s box set “Essential Art House: 50 Years of Janus Films,” the hefty 50-disc survey of the beloved label’s essential masterpieces that was produced in 2006.
