Released in 1994, "The Best of the Capricorn Years" is the one and only "boxed" set for MTB.  While I'm glad the band got the boxed set it deserved whomever put it together didn't understand the typical "tuckerhead."  Live version of Ramblin' and Take the Highway should have replaced the studio versions that were offered and I think most Tucker fans would have preferred the album versions of songs instead of the 45 versions.  The order that the songs were put in, though chronological, didn't make for a smooth flowing CD.  Rare songs such as The Thrill Is Gone, which was a Capricorn release, albeit on the very first Volunteer Jam LP (released in 1976) would have been cool.  A selling point for the fans who have it all would have been the inclusion of some of the original demo tracks, including Southern Woman, which is vastly different than what ended up on "A New Life."  Live versions such as Searchin' For a Rainbow or others would have been added selling points as well.  Hopefully, someday a REAL boxed set will be offered spanning both the Capricorn and Warner Brothers catalogs.
