Early Years Box Set - improvements

[Hallucalation]

Typically a catalog sale includes everything in the vault as well - any masters, live recordings, unreleased materials, images, etc. Anything that was put down on tape by the band and usually name, image, likeness for use in promotional purposes. I would expect a significant increase in releases with a sale.

Assuming Rog keeps The Wall with the 1987 agreement.

As a creators they can keep the rights to veto any unreleased material the new party would like to put out. Like the case with 60's Rolling Stones material when ABCKO outright owns the publishing and recordings rights (including various multitracks in the vaults) but Stones have the right to veto any unreleased material which they do for 50+ years. That's why we still have 25 minute CDs with albums like "December's Children" with no bonus tracks.

I imagine that it will depend on the contract.
But David don't want to decide anymore. So, I can't imagine him continue this after selling the catalogue.

[Flat Eggs]

I wish they would sell the entire catalog including the archives, so finally maybe some madman will decide to publish all the sections of Nothing that led to Meddle and finally make a madman like me happy (I've been waiting since 1971)!

Not to mention the 30 minutes of Echoes or the 20 minute version of OotD:

And also the 8-tracks of Echoes that we only listened for about thirty seconds in The Record Producers...

[DaveTheRave]

I recently was moving stuff around at home and stumbled across TEY collecting dust in a closet. I was immediately reminded of another reason its causes frustration. The box and the way the CDs/DVDs are organized. Such an inefficient use of space. And all the reproductions of tickets and stuff would have much better if they had been shown in a coffee table book. Something about the entire set is tedious. You don’t want to bend or lose anything. So many “why” questions with this one.

[A Prick Like You]

Can't remember exactly, but wasn't it supposed to be shaped like their tour van or some such, hence the large amount of dead space inside? I do agree though; opening a box to remove another box to remove an individual volume to select the disc you want (all the while ensuring you have a visible version of the tracklist) is a rather cumbersome effort just to listen to the music you want, never mind leafing through the loosely-packed memorabilia or fishing out the bonus vinyl.
