Alright. Got my box set. First impressions:

The outside: It's black.

Live, Three Sides Live and The Way We Walk are in standard 2CD jewel cases. Seconds Out comes in a book (like The Lamb in the green box), and so do the bonus discs. There is an empty slot with a jewel-case size cardboard sign that has the LOE cover on one side and says "This space is reserved for your copy of Live over Europe 2007" on the back. Unfortunately, Live Over Europe fits in there only without its cardboard sleeve.

As I am writing this, Live is playing, and I am very impressed. The sound is warmer and stronger, but not louder - Nick evidently did his magic without raising the overall volume. The booklet for Live is a four-page thingy with only the Live story and the credits on the inside. Disc labels are The Famous Charisma Pink Scrolls. - Gosh, Pete's flute comes out so well on The Knife!

During the very quiet bits of The Musical Box you can even hear what I think is the base hum of the speakers...

More as my session progresses...
