I got this as a gift and while I appreciate the sentiment, I can’t see chucking the individual releases for this release. I’m unclear as to what audience this set was produced for. The reason there are no bonus tracks is,simple–Warner is cheap.
If this had been packaged like the a Little Feat set, it might have been worthwhile as those at least included the more recent Japanese masters where they were done, the expanded Columbus and a “bonus” with the bulk of the tracks from the boxed set from a decade ago.
Some of,these sets have had bonus selling points–ZZ Top had the first three albums in the original mixes for the first time but Replacement set, Doobies (which COULD have had the tracks from the last disc of the boxed set along with the single edits) and others have largely had no selling points (Unless the Doobies release features the Japanese masters which seem likely)
The bonus tracks on the previous remasters are essential. Buy those versions NOT this! Typically bizarre record label behaviour.
I agree with David Olstein. No bonus tracks = not interested.
This is stupid. No, make that STOOOPID. Why leave off the bonus tracks? Couldn’t they have at least included the bonus tracks on a separate disc (or discs)?
So weird I never got into the replacements. Maybe now it’s time.
