"A little expensive"... today thats R$ 311,38 down here. 
And probably we'll have to import it. Dear God...
I won't be buying it at that price!
But the audio quality will be better
Donington '88 radio broadcast is a good quality bootleg-it was taped off the radio. Same with Reading '80 and Reading '82. Infact there is a very good complete audience recording of Reading '82 which borderlines on soundboard quality at times.
Best Of The B-Sides is obviously available as a bootleg. There is a 2 CD version and a 6 CD version of it, which were both produced in Japan in about 1996.
The Hammersmith show is the only rare one, as the only complete version of this is an average quality audience recording. There is an incomplete 1 CD version taken from a TV broadcast which is better quality (soundboard quality) but isn't complete.
The item price on EBAY will be defiitely wery big, but the shop price... hmmm?! Really it can be over 100 I suppose which isnt too nice. And as you already know, many of the tracks were already released on bootleg CDs, Ive got them all nearly, but Iam buying my box definitely, too 
I'm used to having to pay big bucks for anything good here, but $180 Australian is a bit much for 3 double cds, no matter what packaging they are in. 
I think that the boxset is so expensive becase for the casket.It looks very nice.I'll definetly buy it.
It's expensive but I'll buy it - come on, it's MAIDEN!!!

I don't know! I emailed the support team and the email bounced saying it was automatically rejected because my email was either "sapm" or a virus!
Maybe someone else can try support@WebSytz.com
