Very interested in this, though judging by the U.K. price, cost might be the deciding factor.

I’ll get it if it drops under $45-$50.

I really really want this...I don't need 2 kidneys do I?...

I've purchased and repurchased these demos piecemeal so many times over the years, I'm hesitant to buy them yet again.

However...

1. This set does seem comprehensive, which I appreciate.

2. The fact that it includes previously unreleased material makes me think it's legit, and not just another repackaging of this material copied from other sundry sources (often in less-than-best-available fidelity)

3. I love some of these sessions as much as the finished LP, like the July 1976 demos (which appear 3 different times across this set - CD1, CD2, and CD4!!)

4. In fairness, it has been at least a decade since I last bought any of these demos, soooooooo....

I think I'm in. Hopefully I'm right about #2! (fingers crossed)

I had so many of those Goodman bootlegs over the years I find it hard to imagine buying this, even for the unreleased bits. But I still might. :lol:
