Taken from WATMM:Post #120
OK The reason it was jumped on was this: Warp and BOC have been in talks for a long while about putting out a box set of old tracks from these tapes and others, with new packaging and art, to be released sometime after the forthcoming record. The tapes were private comps given out to close friends a few years ago, long before the band imagined there would be this kind of interest, and long before the likes of Soulseek etc existed.
The tracks are out there now, nothing can be done about that, they've been circulating for a while and fans have them, so the decision was taken to at least consider tidying them up and repackaging them with decent exclusive artwork & more rarities. BOC never wanted these tracks presented this way, mislabelled and as poor-quality MP3 files.
There's no 'hype', these comps were never listed on any old discogs as they were never intended for mass release in the first place.
Now the intention is still to get round to scheduling a release of these tunes and other rare comps, but unscrupulous people like 'prince murat' are obviously stealing the thunder of the proposed releases, whilst trying to make a tidy profit in the process (a starting price of $799 speaks volumes about 'prince murat's true intentions. who is trying to profit from hype here? if any money is going to be involved, surely the artist who wrote those tracks should be receiving the royalties, and not this person? there's no difference between this kind of profiteering and someone trying to sell a bootleg CDR of Beck's new album months prior to release.)
Anyway, now you know, we hope the intervention hasn't caused too much negative feeling, after all the concern that Warp and BOC have is that basically it's going to spoil the impact of a nice release that hopefully will be enjoyed by the fans.

The best thing would be a boxed set of complete works. It does tend to annoy me, albeit very slightly, when boxed sets take tracks from here and there and compile them, and miss out some tracks so you don't get "the full set". I'm the sort who likes completeness, I can't help it. But to be fair, I'm grateful to get anything new. Or old :)

That's like Columbia releasing the Bootleg Series (now vol.1 to 7) because hey with all the bootlegging done behind their back at high price, why couldn't they take a piece of the pie also? I mean the Manchester Hall was probably the most popular bootleg in history and they finally released it.
I would gladly pay a boxset which would incorporate previous unreleased BOC tracks. 10$ per CD, not more. So a 5CD boxset I wouldn't pay more than 50 bucks. I mean it's not like they are all masterpieces, there's a reason why they weren't released back then.

Read the post. It said *after* the release of their new album. And I'll say yes, they should release the old stuff. There are a couple of CD worth of stuff that's the same level of released-BOC in quality. Not all of it, but much. And that's excluding the stuff nobody has ever heard.

The brand new tracks are unrelated to the new CD that is due sometime this year.
The Boxset is old material

Don't you get to release a boxset after a long and prolific career, not just because some scamps are leaking your demos on the internet?
