    The box set arrived this morning. Like many other fans on other forums (Super Deluxe Edition, Steve Hoffman Forum), it is blindingly obvious that the last four tracks on CD4 (Biko - Sanctify - East - Alive) are totally out of sync. It sounds like they used a faulty soundboard tape for the Verona audio not the original multitrack recordings. Compare them to the original B-sides (which sound fine) and you're hear the tape stretch / drag on the 2020 versions. This needs to be acknowledged and rectified.
