To avoid being headache inducing, I’m just releasing a bit of info regarding this digital-only, Capitol Rarities 1968-1977 with 33 collected rarities from the vaults of The Band. This downloadable content has indeed been released on May 12, as previously stated.
With the high cost of the individual tracks, I’m guessing that Capitol will let this play out, see what they can get monetarily, and then release the set as a CD. Cross your fingers!
