i kinda have to agree with Jon's "gimme a break" sentiments.... i bought
the boxed set because i didn't have any of her albums on CD, but it was
obvious from the moment that i opened it up that it took all of an hour
at most to come up with the designs, etc. 12 stickers all basically looking
the same and VERY bland, one booklet that is well done, but it's so
small and then throw together all the discs. it was expensive, but i
went for it for the afrementioned reason and i am not displeased with
it, i am only disappointed that the presentation is as it is. from all
that i've read here i've always had the feeling that Kate is one who
demands quality from the littlest detail up.

in any case, i don't know how true this is, but the new ish of Tower's
PULSE! mag. claims that for those not needing the previously existing
albums in the boxed set, Columbia will most likely sell the two TWW
bsides discs separately "after the fanatic collector's rush for xmas."
which sounds like a good deal to me.
