Island Records is re-releasing Sandy's solo albums as 2 CD Deluxe Editions, starting with The North Star Grassman. The bonus cuts include demos from the 19 CD mega box, and BBC recordings that didn't make the mega box.
So maybe all those mega box rare cuts will get released again this way?? And maybe we shouldn't feel too bad about not springing for the mega box??
