With that said, they are going to cut costs because they know all you greedy bastards are going to steal this and prevent other cool releases anyway. If you people actually did purchase the material, maybe they would put some addition costs into it. And without listening to it or seeing the booklet, you don't even know what to expect yet anyway.
Second, this is exactly what everyone wanted and cried about when the 100M fans was released. They didn't get the songs that were already released. aka the NJ Demos. That's all I read about back then. Cry Cry Cry.
Third, they are not going to empty out the entire vault. They are going to save songs for future projects and perhaps another bot set in the future.
Forth, we don't know if other NJ songs do exist in such a quality to be released anyway.
Fifth, there are some nice surprises such as House Of Fire / Diamond Ring / Full Moon / Etc...
Sixth, these are demos that were never produced. Beside correcting the speeds and removing the hisses, I wouldn't expect much more from Obie but that's okay. I appreciate the rawness as a die-hard fan.
Seventh, they did get it right. All these other requests about these live shows have nothing to do with the album NEW JERSEY! This is an awesome bundle of HQ video and sound. There is already so much live shit out there from this period already, why would you possibly want more. Better Sound? Sure, lets start with the demos first... Hey, it's better then them taking all the live performance from the past 10 years and including that as the bonus disk.
Yes, this is a nice improved bundle of the intended original album plus its video releases. It's not the next box set of unreleased material. I think it's ****ing awesome.
Sure there are a few more that I wanted included but then again, they probably had to cut cost because of illegal downloading. Basically what Seb said he was going to do so thank him for Cadillac Man not being included.

I agree with you on most parts. Finally something to get excited about. And NJ won't be the only record which will get a 'special treatment' (hopefully).
