I just made the deluxe purchase. And though from the pdfs, the box looks very nice, a 2-4 disc set at a lower pirce would have been more appealing. I understand the legalities of not including the earlier recordings, but I'd been interested to know if McCoury Music even <em>tried </em>to license the early efforts, vs. just offering re-recordings.

Each disk only has 10 songs on it...even if the songs are four minutes long each (which would be unusual in bluegrass, where the average times are more often between two and three minutes), that would mean each disk would be only forty minutes. Which means that this music could fit onto three disks with much less wasted packaging and (in theory) a lower list price...hmmm...
