If the main cohesive tracks were album length or more, and it was a band i loved and respected, id pay a little over album price ($20 or so).

You do realise though, that manufacturing that CD package (with extras) will cost you ~$4000 for 500. With the main songs (and therefore the main attraction - most people couldnt care less about extras from unknown bands) up for download.. you'd be incredibly lucky to break even.

The reason record labels are there is so that the financial risk of releasing music isnt the bands problem and the band dont have to worry about ever losing money, and for this release.. id say thats a pretty big possibility - id consider looking for a small label and discussing it with them.
