Abbott Material - Seriously?

I'm almost speechless. I see that Bear Abbott collection is going to cost around $75 for 76 tracks. Seriously? On the other hand, "The Great Jim Reeves", with 170 tracks, including many new overdubs of RCA material is about half that cost. Who in their right mind wants to hear 4 takes of "Beating On The Ding Dong"? For heaven's sake, that song is so bad, Jim Reeves fired people for even bringing it up to him, he hated that song so much. How the hell is that honoring the memory of Jim Reeves?
