Pre-Order Thread

This is a serious question that may sound snarky, but are any GOF albums besides Entertainment! worth owning? It's the only one that I really know. I also wish the album they released in 2005ish where they re recorded a bunch of tracks was in this.
Solid Gold is quite great. Doesn’t quite reach the same highs as Entertainment! But it’s good nonetheless. Songs of the Free is solid too but I haven’t listened to anything outside of those three.

I like Solid Gold. The boxset is a bit overpriced for what it is. The live set is good quality and has been bootlegged for years. I think it was professionally recorded as they intended to release it back in the 80s. For me it will come down to where it is pressed, fingers crossed that Matador doesn't cheap out here.
 
Is it just me or do live albums seem to be making a comeback? War on Drugs, Belle & Sebastian and now Arctic Monkeys. I guess people are craving live music.
I find it weird, as I mostly hate live albums on vinyl. The point of this vice to me is sound fidelity and that's really difficult to master from a live recording. The exception being live small studio recordings where they're actually balanced and well mixed.
