Well, I'm a bit in two minds:
On the one hand, I would say that it would be great to have many of those songs, remastered and all, on a CD. For example, I would be thrilled with a Stoney and Meatloaf CD.
But on the other hand... what about all those people who spend quite some time and money tracking down singles and stuff? I'm at a point where I can say that the only two tracks I'm missing a hard-copy of are "Thrashin'" and "The Way You Do The Things You Do" from Stoney and Meatloaf. Releasing a collection of rareties (and I'm not saying that such a thing should not be released) would, for me, take away the warm fuzzy feelings of having an (almost) complete collection. And yes, maybe that is a bit selfish, but still a valid point from a collector's point of view.
To the best of my knowledge, all the "rareties" would fit on one single CD, two at most. To make a rareties box-set really special/worth the money, I would expect some vintage live-performances, demos, outtakes, and a bonus DVD featuring a full, uncut concert.
And speaking of DVDs, when is one coming out with all the video's (1977-2003)?
