Nothing More: The Collected Fotheringay

The four disc (3CD/1DVD) Nothing More: The Collected Fotheringay adds unseen TV footage, previously unreleased live recordings from August 1970 and tracks recorded for BBC radio to the band's two albums, which are padded out with alternate takes, demos and different mixes. Sndy shines intermittently, but the whole is probably less than the sum of its parts. 

More Fotheringay than anyone bar the anorak completist brigade needs.

iTunes version, lacking the TV footage and the accompanying booklet, isn't, in hindsight, worth $39.99. Ouch, in retrospect.
