According to Spin.uk: "Fans of America got a treat earlier this year when the duo released Lost and Found on the band’s own America Records label. This compilation features 10 previously unissued tracks recorded by Beckley and Bunnell between 2000 and 2011."

Meaning, Lost and Found is apparently included, for no logical or chronological reason; not exactly part of the "Warner Years," is it...

No, that isn't included in this box. Only the eight titles listed in the description in the first post are in the box, the original Warner albums.

The Lost And Found comp is only available separately: viewtopic.php?f=17&t=92168

I re-read this a few times.

I'm not sure where it even mentions the new box set? Or even Warner Bros?

By "this compilation" aren't they just talking about Lost and Found itself?

It's just another messed-up listing at that site, using a description from the wrong release.

I might just end up deleting these few posts since it's confusing things right out of the gate. Lost And Found has nothing to do with this box set.

Once again wondering how closely they'll duplicate the original packaging. Wasn't one of the album covers an elaborate triple-fold?

Yup, Homecoming was a triple fold.

This makes me wonder if Audio Fidelity will be releasing more America SACDs.

I'm looking forward to this one. I only have the greatest hits album and a live show I downloaded from the concert vault. It will be nice to be able to listen to the entire albums.

I picked up my copy today, and at first listen it sounds fantastic. I'm really looking forward to exploring this catalogue.

A thread on the Hoffman site says the email from Warner Brothers says these are all remastered. I'm in.

My copy came yesterday. Very nicely done mini LP sleeves, triple fold on Homecoming. The sound is very good -- maybe not as good as the AF remasters on America and Homecoming, but very good. I'm happy to have remasters of some of the later albums and a very nice looking box. I loved America back in the 70's and this brings back lots of good memories.

The live album sucks, however. I had never bought it or heard it, and listening to bits of it last night, my decision was justified.
