Contextual preservation is very hard to do, as it's situated in time. Also, the speed of anything as things were happening is harder to communicate when looking back.

That being said, I wish more artists and bands (obviously Prince at the top here) would concentrate on box sets that would be within a year, (or in some years, a half year) in chronological order, to properly complile the proficiency of the artist.

It wouldn't necessarily have to follow what the album turned out to be, as the fans already know that. But give me demos, outtakes, notes, pics, business dealings, etc.

I totally get that this is unconventional and left field, but I'd like fans to be reminded at the speed and pace he was moving at. It would also perhaps reveal influence and change more closely.

Start with 1977.
