Those will be in the pre-studio box set.

I searched for a few years for the Psychoderelict music-only CD. My buddy finally found one for me. Shortly after that, I found one on my own, and about a year after that, they released the vinyl. Now this.

Will I be suckered into buying this? (Can't answer that now - my wife is wandering around!)

Nothing extra. Why would I bother? It'll be nice though for those who don't have any or many of these or who just want to complete their PT collection.

Renny · 26 Jun 2006

will there be bonus tracks on all the albums?

The description and tracklist have been added to the first post.

I keep asking what happened to the expanded anniversary editions that started with the Who Came First double CD. I already have all these on CD, some twice, some with bonus tracks. This set is unnecessary.

The Psychoderelict music-only CD may be the reason I pick this up. There's a few others that I do not have, so likely to get. Bummer they do not include the bonus tracks from earlier releases. Does not indicate if remastered or not...curious what versions they are using.
