Big old box !

I've got all the original studio albums from this era on CD already and Encore on original '70s vinyl.

Tempting though.

And saw them live in 1980 at Brum Odeon. Crikey 39 years ago :)
 
Encore and Force Majeure are my favourite TD albums.

A friend and I convinced the head of music to let us perform a version of Cloudburst Flight at the school annual music concert when we were sixth-form students. We recorded keyboard backing tracks onto reel to reel and played guitar and melody keys live, though I suspect the few parents who didn't nod off thought we were miming. They were probably all relieved I wasn't singing that year.:D

Not sure I want all those outtakes of Phaedra though, never got on with that one or Ricochet for some reason.
 
Two concerts I don't have (and neither had any of the Tangerine Tree contributors) but surprisingly missing the Albert Hall 76 set...

 
I have a fair few on vinyl, bought at the time, but this is tempting for a variety of items, not least the Rainbow concert, which was my first ever gig.
