I've passed on all the re-issues so far and will probably do so for this
round. What I would be interested in is a Beatles-style anthology or
all-encompassing box set which gathered up all the outakes, demo's,
alternate versions, etc. and didn't force me to buy what I already own.
Maybe that just makes too much sense?
The round after this set of re-issues can only be the complete
re-recording of the back catalog.
