I picked up a copy of "Vagabond Holes", the rather wonderful Triffids book, when I was in Melbourne a few weeks ago, and am just sinking my teeth into it. Whilst I'm really enjoying it (especially Robert Forster's rather touching entry) it's somewhat disarming hearing people continually wax lyrical about the 8 pre-"Treeless Plain" albums released on cassette.

I am wondering what the liklihood of these ever getting a release is? I appreciated that an 8CD box set would be rather ... err ... niche, but done as a nicely packaged limited edition, like "Early Singles", I'm sure there'd be enough of us obsessives out there who'd make it worht the while of anyone wanting to put it out.

Secondly, I am wondering whether "Early Singles" will get a CD release anytime soon? Given that all the material was remastered for the vinyl reissues, I gather that all the hard work has been done. I currently have no working turntable, and have been eagerly awaiting a CD issue for some time now.

Please?

an mp3 version came with the early singles boxset, so that problem is (partially) solved.

If it's just to hear the (non remastered) early music of the tapes, you should find mp3 versions floating around the net.

I too wouldn't hesitate to buy a full cd box version of the early material.

A rarities set including at least some of the very early stuff and the singles is in the works.
