Goodbye $75.

I'll pretty much buy anything Richard puts out and this looks like a must have.

He had a 3 disk Retrospective called Watching the Dark about a decade ago.

Wasn't a box set per se because it came in a 3 disc jewel case.

Pretty good but this one looks like the one to get for rarities.

Great! How does the bonus 6th CD work? Is it the first 5000 buyers who get it or the first 5000 buyers who mail in the paperwork?
