Wasn't there a gap between when the Seduction of Ingmar Bergman was first released as a box set and the standalone CD release?
The boxset contained a cd as well

I'm not buying this release. One extra expensive repackaging of old stuff a year is enough. Just release it on a couple of CD's at normal retail price
