Love this band-both eras, and having never gotten the remasters from the John Foxx years this is something for me.

Unless...

Are these newly remastered and with bonus tracks?

If no bonus tracks, then I will purchase the previous remasters.

Bump: Added the tracklist to the first post. The box consists of newly remastered versions of the first three albums plus a disc of rarities.
