How about doing something interesting. A CD of remixes, like all those Tango mixes that let Stevie do a little scat singing over everyone else's songs. Okay, I know that sounded mean but I actually like those mixes. Her little addition to Big Love made me totally fall in love with that song.

How about a CD of B-sides. Every single from Tango had rare B-sides that never made it to CD. The video mix of Gypsy? The single mix of Rhiannon? I'm sure there are more demos floating around. We don't need a new greatest hits package, there's been three. Make it all rare stuff from the beginning all the way until SYW.
By the end of your post, it appears you answered your own original question regarding The Chain box. Where were the Tango B-sides? Where were those Rumours & Tusk outtakes? Where were live tracks from 1971-74? Why did they only use 1 disc for pre-75 material? (those eras deserved better representation) On discs 2 & 3 they practically re-released Rumours & the white album.
