    For those people who said there is no extended version of 'Advice For The Young At Heart' here is a version from an Asian market only remix CD I bought back in 2005. Sounds like the real thing to me, not a badly edited fans made version.

        All these discs and they still manage to miss tracks off!!!! There is NO extended version of 'Advice For The Young At Heart' (6.33) in fact I've yet to find a CD with it on (if anyone knows of one please let me know). So really that track should of gone on. But they manage to put on loads of crappy demos which are in reality rough, unfinished versions of tracks. Who wants them but the die hard fans??? Has there ever been a demo from any band thats actually 'better' than the finished item? Yes its a pretty comprehensive set but who wants to play their music through a Blu Ray player???? These 5.1 mixes are a total waste of time, most people arnt bothered about them and most dont have the set up to play them as they 'should' be played! Most people will the normal CDs to their itunes and then to an mp3 player or iphone and play with headphones or through a bluetooth device. I Bet the vast majority of the music on the Blu Ray discs will never get played.

          Why is this box set half the size of the other two? My OCD kicks in when I see them together on the shelf. Live music would have been nice! The only other issues I have with the set is the absence of the videos and the full-length mix of "sowing the seeds of love" from the 3-track cd single. I just got this the other day, so I haven't gotten fully into it yet. I am looking forward to it!

            Is the CD1 the same 2015 Andrew Walter Remaster? -

              Not a bad compilation, but it is inferior to the previous two box sets.

              One would have not only hoped for the 4 music videos that came with the VHS compilation "Sowing The Seeds" along with the live concert "Going To California". But what I think could have special for the fans would have been the tracks released on the greatest hits compilation including "Ghost Papa" which as far as I'm concerned is the perfect ending to their first decade of recording. C'est la vie.

                Wish they atleast put promo-videos and live stuff like they did on Songs From Big Chair, and released songs on DVD, not Blu-Ray. This pack is kind of inferion in comparison of what we were offered in SFTBC.

                  I was hoping the full version (6:50) of Sowing The Seeds Of Love from the 1989 3-Track single would have been on here; they could have put it on Disc 4.

                    A blu-ray audio with 16bit 48kHz resolution for the stereo tracks ? Not even 24bit ? Why bother including the 2015 remaster on the blu-ray ? CD1 already offers the same audio quality (48kHz vs 44,1kHz is no improvement). It's disappointing.

                      Can anyone explain the benefits of 5.1 versions? Would I need to buy more equipment etc?
