Me agree. It's a marvelous box. Beautifully packaged, too. The whole shebang really transports me back to 1979, sitting on my bedroom carpet listening to my just-released vinyl, looking at all the Peter Beard polaroids and scribbles, calling the telephone numbers (one of the numbers was Seedy Management), and wondering what the words to the songs were.

And the icing is the incredible live set, which in itself surpass any live set the rumours line up have released.

Fantastic, too, and very illustrative of the band's ferociousness onstage at that time. I'm disappointed, however, that several cuts were taken from St. Louis. Because of the video doc and the soundboard, that show is already too familiar to us. But the material from Wembley surprised me with how manic and wonderful it was, and the two or three cuts from August are dreamy treats.
