Counted as one choice

Taking this set off the shelf is one decision, so every ranking on this site counts it once: 5 visits, not 2 picks. Where the question is about films rather than choices, the set opens up and all two count.

102 different box sets have been taken

Spine Film Director Year Reached by As a single film
168 Monterey Pop D. A. Pennebaker 1968 5 0
169 Jimi Plays Monterey & Shake! Otis at Monterey D. A. Pennebaker, Chris Hegedus 1986 5 0

2 of these films have never been taken on their own: every visit that reached them arrived through a set. That gap is what "counted once" costs a ranking, and what opening the sets up recovers for coverage.
