The Outpost Cafe / Uwe....your thoughts on the new Deep Purple Made In Japan box set sir?

While I find it fantastic from a sonic standpoint, I think they really missed the mark with the packaging & such. A big book really full of nothing. Mk III pictures, quotes from people who really don't matter, a way dated Pete Frame family tree, etc...
Mine has a full size sticker on the back of the box, rumored to cover up a typo ("Somoke On The Water". Really?! Somoke?!). I am also missing the download card. I feel that if they would have involved Simon Robinson & the official Deep Purple fan club crew this could have been a home run. But in this day of budget minded labels I guess Rhino wanted to keep the overhead low.
But as stated before, it sounds fantastic which is really what matters I suppose. I've purchased this record four times now, I know I've paid for Ritchie's garden shed at this point.
Black night is a long way from home.....
