And let's not forget 'Enchanted' - by that artistic genius Chris Nicks!

I wish I could forget all the "artwork" of Chris Nicks, including the Enchanted box set. It's a nice compilation, but the box had the potential to be great -- not only visually, but content-wise. It's also a graphic mess with no consistency - bad photo editing, inconsistent fonts, scant liner notes, inexplicable test placement ( why are there snippets of song lyrics from unreleased songs??). It reeks of amatuer art direction more akin to a student-directed high school year book. Stevie (and her fans) deserved so much more that this shoddy execution.

Though the last thing we need is another Stevie compilation, I hope that down the line a great box set will emerge with lots of live songs, unreleased songs, and remixes/alternate versions etc... in a stunning presentation. Reference any number of box sets: Tom Petty's Live Anthology and his Playback box, Janis Joplin's box....any other examples of other favorite, well-done box sets other Ledgies want to provide?

You took the words right out of my mouth....I couldn't agree with you more. Also along with the song lyrics of those UNreleased songs.....why even put 'that' in there if none of them were to have been included in said box set.....whats the point?? Just to prove to us said fans that we know they exsist?? I also agree it should've had a wealth of material...not just song wise but unreleased photos too and a really really nice booklet even larger. A DVD should've been included as well.....I mean at the time I loved it but I know now it really could've been the cats meow so to speak or whatever line you want to use.....its one of those what a shame type deals really.....or a missed boat etc........

That box set is fantastic. I am biased to Tori though. Stevie's could have easily been a 4 CD set. The first disc being a remastered and expanded version of Bella Donna.

Yes! Tori's box set is great, especially the piano box packaging. What could Stevie's box look be shaped like? Perhaps a blue lamp?

A tambourine? Or, perhaps an 8 ball?

a box shaped like a beautiful, multi colored fan would be really cool, me thinks.

A big ol' platform boot! Preferably not the Reebok kind.
