Oh don't be silly.
This version of Razor Love alone is reason enough to at least sample a bit of it.

Oh there’s definitely great stuff throughout, didn’t mean to imply otherwise. But it feels like there’s a lot more combing that has to be done to find the gems.

I will comb through the wreckage for you.
How do you think your avatar guy feels about archives 3?
I imagine he's going to skip straight to the previously unreleased live version of Powderfinger, and then yep, you guessed it:

I regret buying the CD version of this box. I wasn't aware that so much of the material was going to be audience and boombox recordings. Far more of it is superfluous or one-and-done than I initially expected.
Downloading the advance hi-res version was a nightmare. First day was a bust, took all day the next day with failures left and right, and there are bursts of white noise in some of the tracks that I'm sure will take another delay to fix. Found three examples so far and one of them is Razor Love.
