Music Banter - View Single Post - Bonus tracks, special editions, box sets: your thoughts?

I feel it is okay to include a few bonus tracks on a reissue or an anniversary edition of an album, but these things stop being okay when the songs start being framed as 'new material'. If an album I love is reissued and there's an extra disc of b-sides, outtakes, and live recordings it gives me incentive to pick it up.
