I would buy this anyway, because of how much I love Martin Phillipps, but here's what happened. When it was released in 2001 (long before streaming was normalized) as a limited edition, odds-and-ends collection, and three discs of it at that, I wrote it off as something I would not enjoy and did not need. Having now finally gotten around to streaming it, four times, I wish I had shelled out for it as a keepsake. Now of course it sells for a small fortune. Oh well. I have the entire set in FLAC and could burn CDs for the shelves, but that's too much of a project with three discs. I have alerts up in case one ever comes on the market for a reasonable price (extremely unlikely). But for Chills aficionados, this is essential listening. I note that The BBC Sessions is contained entirely in this box set, and I have a separate post for that. This grade applies to the numerous remaining tracks. #miscarticles
