What I'd like to see is a Singles A&B collection like Simon Robinson did
for Deep Purple. The idea is to collect things like B sides and obscure
A side releases (particular the obscure versions that often go out in
far flung terratories - the piano version of Speed King springs to mind)
onto one volume. This was you have a logical set and people don't just buy
duplicates of stuff they already have.

The follow through is to do a decent anthology for the occasional BOC listener
or for your car which can be more detailed (ie. doesn't miss off Last Days of
May) without having to sacrafice space for obscure A/B sides. Again, Simon
Robinson's redone DP Anthology is an excellent collection in this respect.
