It's my understanding that this not a repackage but another volume of re-recorded songs. By no means are these kind of projects intended to make the charts. But they serve a particular niche. Alot of music is released with reasonably limited expectations. Surprisingly, sometimes its more about the music/history, and not all about sales.

I do find it kind of odd that Bob is rehashing the past, and recording songs from an era of the band beyond his time. Does the world really need a Bob Welsh version of Rhiannon? I'll buy it only for the curiousity factor.
