I was lucky enough to get a download of the CD edition of this for review purposes. It really is excellent. The Great Dominions CD amounts to an alternative Wilder and is a wonderful listen. Sadly, 'The Butcher's Tale' is just an instrumental - would love a version with Julian's vocals. The other highlight for me is the Club Zoo live disc, great reworkings of some tracks and in brilliant sound quality. The Band On The Wall set is more lo-fi but still very listenable, and there's also an attempt at an alternative Kilimanjaro with the Cargo demos etc. It is silly expensive but still a wonderful thing.

Also, related to this, I interviewed Dave Balfe, Mick Finkler, Paul Simpson and Mick Houghton for a Teardrop Explodes feature that will be in the June issue of Shindig (as well as my full review of the box set).
