Time for a new compilation?

Urgh, that's the last thing I need! Hope they wait till I can afford it...

i would hope that they would only release a "complete" set when they are pretty sure their either finished or not going to do much for a few years. if they did release something like that, though, there's always the hope that they would keep it at a decent price, or otherwise the black market for lungs, eyeballs and what have you is pretty good.

I'd like a big live compilation boxset in nice packaging with a new photo book.

A bit like Neil Young's archives box, with all the DVD's (including Louder than War with the proper running order) and extra CD's and DVD's of live shows and sessions from all eras.

Yeah.. I keep seeing Bond box sets in sales and I'd be tempted if it wouldn't be incomplete in a couple of years...

Oh this would be a marvelous thing! I've contemplated that they ought to have a live thing released before, myself, and it's definitely time for a new photo book, even if (or especially if, rather) it was chock full of old ones from Mitch. It still astounds me that apparently "over eighty percent" are unpublished.

Come on Mitch! Show us the pictures!

I wouldn't so much mind another compilation, but I doubt it'd sell well.

Glastonbury 1994 full DVD would be cool

Or perhaps an authorised DVD of footage spanning their whole career, maybe a really good in-depth documentary.

I second - if only it were realistic to expect from the band...

New or previously unreleased stuff would be great, but I think the only release that might come out is a cheapo "Essential Manics" type of thing with no booklet + similar-to-FD tracklist with a few more recent tracks as an addition.
