Excellent, this and the upcoming (Selection #2) box can fill a lot of holes in my collection. I hope they are re-mastered which really would make this sweet.

The remasters with bonus tracks are still available fairly inexpensive on Amazon. These "Classic Albums" box sets usually don't have bonus tracks.

Thanks Don, I'll check these out before making final decision.

Exactly, so unless there are some 'new' bonus tracks or they've [gasp!] finally decided to actually append all the b-sides to their relevant albums, I can't see the point of this. What we really need, especially if the latter isn't going to happen, is a reissue/remastering of the now criminally-unavailable 'Downside Up' box set. Hopefully that, or an equivalent release that collects all those tracks, is on the cards in the not too distant future.

Bump: The release date has been brought forward to January 29th.

We also now have the tracklist in the first post. The box will consist of the first 5 studio albums plus the Nocturne live album, with no bonuses.

The first four albums are new masters. According to a post on Facebook by Steven Severin, those 4 have been remastered by Kevin Metcalfe.

Like all of the Classic Album sets, it's not for hardcore fans who already have everything.
