I found those liner note mistakes so egregious! Who took responsibility for not getting the most simplest facts right? Or do they even care? I will always hold true that die-hard fans have more accurate, acute and detailed knowledge of the band than any of the band members, managers etc... If you are looking for insight about any particular subject matter related to the band, don't expect a concise and accurate answer from any member of the band; your best bet is to ask a diehard fan.
The graphic execution for box set was just average, and very little written commentary. I hate the covers of each of the 4 CDs. Absent of any graphic design, they feature only lazy/banal quotes from each member of the band.
I don't want an undated version of The Chain, nor a box set where Rumours is the main reference point -- i.e
"Pre-Rumours songs."
I'd love to have a lavishly creative box set that highlights the murky transition period between Kiln House and Heroes Are Hard To Find. There's a lot of good. overlooked music there. Aside from a well-written pieces documenting the various incarnations of the band, along with rare photos, the box set would feature selected album tracks, rare outtakes and live cuts.
