If you don't care to have all the bsides, alternate versions, and unreleased pieces then this certainly is not for you; this kind of compendium is not for the newbie listener, but is a tremendous package to me. While most of the songs I've heard in one form or another, the quality is a great improvement from the old mixes and bootlegs. I haven't listened through the live Lp yet.
However, no mix has been able to match what the lads sounded like live - the closest might be some DAT soundboards from the period where the taper didn't have any bass rolloff.
