Wait... In fact the GL box was better. It had an intersting dvd with Guy videos from the 2008 tour, a cd with 3 bonus songs, the Limited edition of GL (with a nice dvd that was not in the standard), and the crap was less crap.
De GL CD+DVD was also standard available. Got two of them at home. One in the Deluxe Box and bought one as present for my mum.
In general I see your point and I agree on it. I have the GL box but it's just standing on a shelf catching good ol' dust. Have played the vinyl once or twice and that's it. I'd rather buy a separate vinyl with the actual cover as I like BIG covers. Have the KTGC single + album as vinyl. It's just cool to look at as it's slightly bigger than a normal album to look at. But playing it? No chance, don't have a record player no more!
On Friday I'll get the 2CD privateering. The rest I'll download (buy) via iTunes or elsewhere when there's a possibility for having the additional hidden tracks too (your perfect song/occupation blues/river of grog/follow the ribbon).
Oh and by the way: the artprint everyone is talking about is only a printed version of the cover as far as I can see. See also the picture of the superdeduperdewhateverdeluxe box.
