Yes, it's definitely worth it, esp. if like myself you do not have
the UK disks (I had the cheapo American disks whose quality sucks big
donkey dicks compared to the UK pressings as found in the Box Set).

I cannot agree with you and Richie more re: The Empty Bullring.
Just one of the many many gems on those 2 TWW CDs in the Box Set.
I *love* TEB.  When I got TBS I had only heard it once or
twice, but I must have listened to it 100 times consecutively
it is *so* brilliant a song.

You might want to hold off on the $200 Jap box set if you can find
a friend/contact in Canada, as the Box Set was just rereleased there
and you can probably get it for < $150 Canadian (== $130 U.S. or less).

I share IED's hope that some of these silly CD-5s have some non-album
cuts, but so far it should doesn't look that way (unless you count
remixes...).
