    This is what I have to say about that: http://www.crystalair.com/content.php?id=182008...

    It's funny because it's true.

    So you figure I should have downloaded more than the first two discs? I gotta tell ya, I thought that what I did hear was utterly unessential and completely useless studio detritus - scratch vocals of meaningless lyrical nonsense, alternate versions that barely deviate from the master take, etc. It struck me as a total money grab on the part of Warners, who ought to be ashamed of themselves were they to have any shame left.

    Never was a greater talent squandered than that of Rod the Mod and I don't need a boxed set of B material to underscore the point.

    Plus, if you want an interesting and completely worthwhile boxed set that includes Stewart's actual talent look no further than the "Five Guys Walk Into A Bar," collection which proves definitively that the Faces were the greatest rock 'n' roll band in the history of the world.

    I have that box too, and I agree with you -- it's outstanding.
