Got mine Thursday. The poster and 45 are being sent separately. Few others from another board just got their poster Friday. The box set is very nice. Absolutley beautiful. Haven't had a chance to listen to all of it yet. What I've heard so far sounds awesome. Very cool 3D cover. Noticed that 'Come On In' only appears in Mono. The version of 'The Girl I Left Behind Me' has a longer fade, so you get to hear that funky musical piece at the end - (Bootleg copy owners will know what I mean). The acoustic versions are really cool. Some of the Tork stuff like 'Merry Go Round (Acoustic Version)' and 'Prithee' are almost impossible to listen to all the way through. A bit painful. Nez's version of 'My Share Of The Sidewalk' is cool to listen to but you can tell he was struggling to get through it. Definitely can tell he meant for Davy to sing that. And Davy doing 'Nine Times Blue' - no, I dont think so but nice try anyway. There is so much stuff on this set - my head is spinning. Love it. Nearly 4 hours of music. Great remastering by Sandoval. Great pics and essay too. Well with every penny I spent on it.
