I don't care if vinyl box sets are super expensive, as they are niche collector's items. What bothers me is when actual music is only available through some overpriced release, like the (fantastic!) Wings Over Europe album.

I Agree. Wings Over Europe should be given a proper relase by itself. and this release should be on CD as well.

Has anyone noticed that neither The Country Hams nor Suzy & The Red Stripes singles are included?

On the other hand, the existence of this set could mean that there's a 12" Box in the works.

Sorry, but I disagree, that set was not overpriced. You got two deluxe sets an extra CD and an extra book. When you counted how much each set was, the extra price was not exagerated.

I think Wings Over Europe should be released on it's own as well. I say this as someone who owns the Big Barn Set. Just leave out the deluxe book so people who bought the big one can have some sort of exclusive.

My singles box arrives Thursday.

Anyone care to share what test pressing they received?

They really made a mess producing this set... happily for us Only Love Remains is actually an outtake and a splendid one at that ! That mistake makes me believe that an Archive box set has been worked upon and could possibly be ready. A wonderful surprise anyway.
I really love the demo of I Want To Come Home. Both demos are not basic but versions with some work achieved on them.

it was only a matter of time

Indeed, no surprise... I am pretty sure a pressed CD´s bootleg will also appear... The same happened before with the Wings Over Europe CD.

This is some soft of home made cdr's. this is not a real deal release.

FAB has just released the first volume also -
