You say they could do a helluvalot better...based on what? None of us know for a fact what they have left on the demo reels. Sure stuff leaks out but thats not to mean it still exists on the tapes 20 years later, **** gets lost. None of us knows exactly what is on the original studio reels. You don't even know for sure what these demos will even sound like or what alternate takes they are going to be..yet you have already written them off. The bottom line is...its not possibly for a whole disc of demos to be released without some songs we've already heard of. As fans, we've heard mountains of material. If they had a bonus with only 4 unknown tracks...people would bitch they didn't release more a bigger bonus disc.
No, you took the time to point out negativity and perpetuated it by doing so.

The point is: why do we need numerous versions of *one*song? Why not give us some variety? Is it that they only have five versions of one song in the vaults? C'mon, that argument don't fly here.

And, yes, I would bitch if I shelled out $20 for a two-disc set and it only had a 4 song bonus; it's a rip. But, alas, I pre-ordered the limited edition SYW before the tracklistings were available. Otherwise, I would've shied away from the crap that is Not Make Believe and those crappy live versions.
