alongside the first 5cd box and the cd-edition of Miles High, this makes an almost* complete discography for JM.
very much looking forward to the excellent remastering and bonus tracks.

*the following tracks from the album Sympathy
(an album pieced together for the US market with most songs from More Miles Per Hour) -
still orphaned to the vinyl-only album, Sympathy - appearing nowhere else on vinyl or anywhere on cd:
-Where Would I Be Without You
-Sympathy
-Do It All Again
