Personally I think it will depend on if we are going to get a third B-side collection next year (maybe even called Obscure).
There it is! You nailed it, I hope!
"Obscure" - a 3-CD-release. Disc 1 & 2: The B-sides 2010-2025; Disc 3: Live performances of obscure album-only-tracks and b-sides.

It Couldn't Happen Here soundtrack
Isn't this just a very basic compilation of tracks from Please, Actually and the 12" singles? What aspect of it is "on the shelf"?
You're partly right. I guess I was thinking of art work, the release of 12" mixes and Always on my mind on it. Before Further listening and re-release of maxis on CD the original cassette promo would've been something from the shelf.
Nowadays a proper soundtrack release of all songs featured in the movie and in their movie mix (think of f e the aeroplane intro to 2/0) would be something from the shelves.

I think this is the most likely, but would need to be 4 x CDs: 2 for the latest B-sides; 2 for the live recording. Maybe it'd be a 2 x CD standard edition, and a limited edition 4 x CD including the live recording.

You guys would die if you saw, well, literally any other band in the world.

Would work for me!
Oh no. We're waiting for the Besides box:
Alternative 2CD
Format 2CD
2010-2025 2CD
Forgotten b-sides 1984-2025 2CD (all the tracks they should've put on the b-sides collections)
