Is there a lot of difference between the original releases and the BC/Box set versions? [ BC seems more reasonably priced ]

So if you just need Series 1 without the Sampler and Rick's set, then yes, Bandcamp is probably the cheapest. Actually, about $1 cheaper (or more depending on your credit card exchange rate and foreign currency fees) would be to buy it at Acoustic Sounds, along with the the 10% off coupon code seen in the upper-left of that page.

For the changes between the original Episode releases and the Series 1 release, you can read my posts about all the changes starting here. Some of them are minor, but some of them are not insignificant. It's up to you how much of a completist you are. If you want to buy the original Episodes in 24-48 quality, it looks like Qobuz has the best pricing on all the episodes. Note that Episode 2 is only available in 24-48 through Japanese e-tailers.

I got a Japan store I shop with using VPN that has Ep. 2 in 24 bit, but it's frigging expensive and has kept me picking it up. One day when I have extra cash to splurge away. Unless some folks want to go in with me and I'll the provide 24 bit WAVs to those that donated.

... Many thanks for the detailed reply.

Will probably go with the BC downloads.

I used to be a lot more of a completist but these days I've calmed down a bit.

Happy to go with the versions the band consider 'final'. I didn't listen to a lot of the original Drifts as they came out, decided to wait on the Box Set.

Have a good one and thanks again!
