The tyranny of double disc editions

How many useless 2-disc sets have you got in your collection? The temptation is to always buy the "limited edition" 2CD or CD+DVD editions. But these carry a hefty premium. And often the second disc is inessential or total dross. I took a stand against the 2CD "Graffiti Soul" by  Simple Minds as I didn't want the second album which comprises lame covers of much loved songs by other artists.

 Ronnie James Dio, R.I.P.

Sometimes there is no extra charge for the truly limited 2-disc sets like the Heaven & Hell one...now that's what I call cool.
