Is this a post-BW knee-jerk tribute or had it been planned for some time?

As I already have all the unique tracks from the 2CD, are there any sleevenotes unique to the 4CD?

Not a reaction to Bob's passing. Simply the record company cashing in on it being Fathers Day this weekend. There's quite a few other similar style releases over here this week, a Thin Lizzy 6cd boxset, The Old Grey Whistle Test (BBC TV Series) 3cd set with live recordings from the 70's/80's.

The record companies have got smart to this being a big week for releasing cd's for the Fathers Day market. A few years ago they re-released the Travelling Wilburys set on the same day and it was top of the charts for a while.

The main high street music retailer, HMV, has The Chain 4cd reissue up on a big "presents for Fathers Day" display as soon as you enter the store. £13 being a great price for a 4cd boxset, even if it is 20years old.

I ordered mine online, should be hear any day now.
