That would be great but I doubt a Volume 4 would cover that. Volume 4 would be covering the 2010’s which will obviously include the 2015 album, maybe Mirrorball and probably some live audio from concerts of that decade. We haven’t had any DVD/BD discs with these box sets so I’m assuming a Volume 4 would continue that trend.
LItR,ITF definitely needs an HD remaster though. The DVD was terrible quality and the sound mix was pretty poor as well. I hope they preserve whatever the original aspect ratio it was and no cropping-to-16:9 happens. A true HD 4K scan would really bring that show out.
I’m not really interested in Volume 3 in all honesty. I may purchase the B-Sides digitally individually but I’m not even sure about that. The 2000’s were generally lacklustre compared to the 80’s and 90’s and I pretty much “lived” that era. Got some great memories of collecting the bands music (past and then-present) and the lives shows I went to, but I’m not bothered about diving back in that time again.
There’s also a digital release entitled
X, Yeah! & Songs From The Sparkle Lounge: Rarities From The Vault, which as the title suggests, is basically
Volume 3 minus the studio albums;
X, Yeah! & Songs From The Sparkle Lounge: Rarities From The Vault by Def Leppard

This is more appealing to me than double-dipping on those albums. Hopefully there’ll be a physical release as well. The
Yeah! 2 disc also includes covers from the
Euphoria era that weren’t included on
Volume 2.
