It's not exactly the a-sides - it's the 12"s

But they didn't even release 7"-singles then, so by a-sides I meant the 12-inch versions.

I think the box set is great. With 5 (or 4) discs you're never going to please everyone. What does the booklet say? IIRC - they wanted to release every track they'd ever done, then realised it would take 50 CD's!
Do you know the exact story of the bonus disc? How many copies had it and why there was no mention of it on the package – not even a sticker?

You're right, people are never satisfied with any box set, there's always something missing, but still – I just think that there's no need to include three very similar versions of for instance Fine Time (studio, remix & live), while many key tracks were missing. And because the fan disc concentrates on older stuff, the era 87-93 is very under-represented, even though Technique is by general fan opinion their best album.
