I realise the reissues have been out a while but I'd be grateful for opinions regard the quality of each album's additional CD material. Please help!

We've written extensively about bonus tracks here. Use the search function, or have a look around, and you'll find loads of stuff.

But to avoid sounding like a complete poo-butt, I'll throw out that the bonus material is generally pretty interesting, though at times disappointing. I think that Lullaby, Spring Hill Fair, and 16LL probably have the best bonus discs, at least in terms of cohesion and sheer quantity of good/interesting songs to listen to. The bonus discs for the other three reissues definitely have some amazing, essential songs, but also have some dross to wade through. Lindy mentioned a few times here that she thought it odd that they released what to her amounted to noodling jam sessions. But if you're obsessive enough, you'll find they're all worth owning.
