In addition, I'm debating what direction to go with the purchase of this. I would normally always go hi rez download, but its virtually twice the price of the CD box set ($114.80 cd box set on Amazon vs 201.94 for the  hi rez downloads at HD Tracks). And, given the vintage of the music, and the recording conditions, I have to wonder if the download will offer a significantly better sound quality?

I would definitely get the CDs in a case like this. Doubtful there is any sound advantage to the download, and the price clinches it. The only sonic difference you might find is one being less volume compressed than another and it’s not necessarily the hi res that’s less compressed, if they are different.

The price for the hirez download at Qobuz, as a Sublime subscriber, is 31€ per set, i.e. 93€ in total. This is far below the price of HD Tracks.

If you buy more than 20 hirez downloads, a Sublime+ subscription is easily earned back.

My only point I initially was trying to make , is the strange/confusing number of downloadable 'cds' in this particular album set

I don't see it at all at Qobuz US. I wonder when it will become available?
