What would you expect for 95 quid?
OK its probably not true* but waht would you expect to be getting from a Manics purchase for 95 quid (ladies please dont even think about going near the body fluids!)

I would expect:

A severely in depth songwriting / recording documentary of at least 2 hours.
JDB teaching us the riffs and solos
In depth interview
A Richey cameo (a la Hitchcock)
Some guitar picks
A lovely glossy booklet (a la Lifebloods finish)
Explanation of lyrics - inspirations, drafting (yeah Im sure you draft Nicky!)
Ticket for FANS ONLY gig (where everyone can go)
Backstage passes to said gig







* I bet it is true though

Something to make the fans stop whining as if they're being forced to buy the super special edition which hasn't even been confirmed.

An extra CD. Postcards From A Young Man: Director's commentary.

Just like normal DVD commentaries the band talk through the entire album about writing and producing it?
And just like these commentaries are fond of saying, I hope you listen to the album before the commentary!
At the time of writing I am sceptic of original £95 lie.

I personally think they should hold off on a box set until they call it a day but here's what I'd include if say, it was in addition to a singles or album collection.

Full length documentary (if not documentaries)
94 Astoria Gig DVD
THB 180g Vinyl
Rarities CD
Reprint of Forever Delayed photo book
Posters(autographs not entirely necessary at this point)
Guitar pick or some sort of small memorabilia that has meaning
