Has anyone actually seen either of the Alan Lorber/Iris Music Group releases? (see Blog in Plain D post)

I have several questions:
Are they CDs or CD-Rs?
Is there anything about them to justify almost $16 for a 7-track, 20-minute "album" of (mostly) 40 year old tracks?
What are the Dylan Epitaph and Dylan Overture tracks that appear on each?

I'd like to know, but it's not worth $32+postage (for both) to find out
Sad

With the slew of Dylan/Dylan related releases due next couple months or so (Dylan deluxe, Dylan standard, Dylan single CD best of, Live At Newport DVD,
I'm Not There 2 CD soundtrack, The Best Of The Johnny Cash Show 2 DVD, The Best Of The Johnny Cash Show 1 DVD, The Wendell Baker Story DVD,
The Wendell Baker Story soundtrack CD ?, MTV Unplugged CD/DVD package, Dylan/ Ronson remix 2 different European CD singles & 7 " vinyl,
The Traveling Wilburys Collection LP set...............(not to mention the usual eBay Dylan purchases)....the two Lorber/Iris CD's are not high on my priority list......but I do plan to get them both, eventually.....and, yes, $32 for what is essentially 2 EP's, is steep

I could see it, somewhat, if they were rarities, but most of this stuff isn't hard to find. The first one is basically an abridged reissue of the Metropoliatn Pops LP, and the non-Lorber Orchestra tracks on the new one are easy to find (I have Erik, Garrahan & Phluph on vinyl.)
The only real rarity is Lorber's "Lay Lady Lay," I don't know the source of that.
And I'm not even sure if the "Dylan Epitaph/Overture" is a cover of any Dylan song or songs.
