Amazon UK now shows the box with the correct release date of November 10th. I've updated the cover image in the first post to the full packshot, which looks very nice.

The 2005 expanded remasters of the first five albums (not available in the U.S.) were outstanding, containing numerous bonus tracks and amazing sound quality. And as a fan of the U.S. version of Desolation Boulevard, I was able to recreate that album perfectly (alternate/single mixes and all) between the album cuts and bonus tracks on Sweet Fanny Adams and the original Desolation Boulevard, only with far superior sound quality.
This box set appears to have all of the bonus tracks from the previous remasters, plus many more. And you get Level Headed remastered and expanded, an expanded live album, and another CD of BBC recordings. Sweet, literally...

I have purchased some of these 2-3 times. But still getting this. One of my all-time favorite bands. Hoping the 4 previously unreleased Level Headed tracks are the Brian Connolly vox.

This is very timely for me. I was considering upgrading to the last set of reissues anyway and now at this price, this new box with extra goodies is a dead cert for me. It's been a busy end of year for my wallet again with this, the Pentangle and Mungo Jerry boxes.

My German box arrived today while I was out in NJ via DHL. That's pretty quick shipping! It's a real nice little box set. Can't wait to delve into it this weekend.
