Oh, Christ, *another* 3CD set?  How the hell is anyone supposed to keep
these straight?  :)  I can't even read stinkin' Kobaian!

OK, so here's what I'm (sort of) aware of, in terms of existence (newer
releases of previously unreleased stuff).  I wouldn't mind someone relating
their opinions of what are the more valuable ones (keeping in mind that I
don't like the vocal-chorus-dominated MDK as much as the Udu Wudu-manic bass
style of Magma w/Top)...

Triple CD sets...
1.  Theusz Hamtaahk - the 2000 triple in the black box from the Trianon
concert (whatever that means) (already have this one) DVD just coming out of
same show (musically identical? still guessing here)
2.  Opera de Reims - 1976 Live, Magma proper
3.  Whatever AndyGee is talking about above.  Magma proper or VanderTop?

Double CD sets...
1.  Live Brussels - 1971 (poor sound?)
2.  Theatre du Taur - 1975 Tolouse Concert, Magma proper

Single CDs...
1.  VanderTop - 1976 Paris Live (with 'Music of the Spheres' prev. unrel.?)
2.  JannickTop - Soleil d'Ork (with Magma alums guesting)
3.  Magma - BBC Live 1974

Is by some chance, the 3-CD set these last three items?  That would be cool,
since I don't have any of 'em yet.

Enquiring minds...
