I feel that all of those should be compilations. The original releases were not but the DeLuxe versions hold so much other stuff that the box set is in fact a compilation. However, it's a fundamental flaw of the MB release design structure that the type "Compilation" (or box set, should that ever be added) can be only set at releasegroup level. For a release that wasn't a compilation originally, additional info for re-releases like the Immersion box set can only added through annotations.

I still feel it's fair to think of these box sets as compilations.

They really arent.

The upcoming Abbey Road 50th Anniversary release for instance.

Disc 1 - remastered and remixed album. thats not a compilation, its a remaster of the original album
Disc 2 and 3 - outtakes, demos and rehearsals - it could be argued these two discs are a "compilation" of outtakes etc, 

but anyway, MB rules are clear. If its a remastered album with bonus material its not a compilation. Expecting them to change to one persons idea of what a box set is aint gonna happen

And for every person that thinks all box sets are compilations, there is going to be another like me, who thinks that unless its a chronology, biographical collection, of previous released material, akin to a greatest hits package, then its not a compilation




but, ultimately, using the compilation tag (being present) as a criteria for box sets isnt going to work because for a lot of people (escpecially those who use MB as the base for their tagging) will not have things marked as compilation. (the only thing I have marked as compilations are various artists releases)
