This set would have included all the classic Singles and Hits ......
Would have provided alternate versions of tracks from 1991 Box Set........
Provided some Key Rarities that suit Box Sets better rather than other Studio or Rarities Albums.......
Included Key Solo material plus some recent Richard Carpenter material before New Solo Albums.......
Box Set with expanded Liner Notes , Credits, Rare Photos , Personal Track Contributions from Musicians etc
The Box Set could be sequenced differently from existing layout for a more thematic or song approach ?
