No word on what will be on the rarities album? Likely a lot of the same stuff that has been circulating for years now, stuff off the Dr. Demento tapes, School Cafeteria, Still Billy Joel to Me, the demos of stuff from the first album, the Yoda demo, the Capitol Records My Bologna, maybe if we're lucky a clearer remastered version of Belvedere Cruisin' that'd be nice, they'll probably throw Headline News on there too since it wouldn't fit anywhere else. Probably nothing that most of us haven't heard before.

This looks like an amazing product at a surprisingly reasonable price. Looking forward to it!

It seems like the test pressing are separate from the box set... like, if you drop $1500 on the test pressings, you still need to buy one of the other bundles to get the accordion box?

I don't know about major, but I do alright. 8)

Which version of this set is everyone getting?
And what exactly is a test pressing?

It's not often that there is Weird Al-related data visualization to look at, so I had to share this chart I found on Facebook:
