Yes, it is very good and surprising.

Indeed, very nice song and I cannot understand it didn’t make it to the album. I’ll buy the mp3 for now and order the box set in a few months. The CD box set for the first few albums is now available for €23. The second one will drop in price too I guess…

[Vesper]

The previous boxset had a download card for the digital files.
Mine didn't come with one.

On the official MK site it also isn't mentioned with this boxset (and with the previous one it did say so).

So I guess it's not there this time

I listened to Precious Voice From Heaven (PVFH) a few times now.
It’s not a highlight. It misses a little instrumental solo (not necessarily a guitar solo) and the melody is quite boring.
I understand PVFH is not included in DTRW…
The real interest of the boxset is to have in a physical item some bonus tracks that were only on streaming platforms or hard to find because of being included in a special edition.

I disagree. Obviously,  Precious Voice from Heaven isn't a new classic like Telegraph Road, but it is way, way better than most of DTRW, which I personally think it is the weakest MK or DS album by far. Leaving this song and Pale Imitation out of that record is the single most absurd piece of decision-making since Dylan left Blind Williw McTell out of Infidels

[Knopflerfan]

Really like PVFH - it sounds like a track from the Golden Heart era to me...

Does anyone think Heavy Up is better than this song?!

[Beryl]

Remember: this song aint Strawberry Fields Forever but  is out of DTRW, and, at the same time, Heavy Up, Nobody's Child, Nobody Does That, Good on you Son, Slow Learner and some others tedious, disoriented semi reissues of older songs are included on the final cut of the album. Crazy

[neco]

As others have said before, it is a mystery to me as well why songs like Don‘t suck me in, pale imitation and now also Precious Voice were not included on  the main DTRW album. In my opinion, the album would have been even better! This is the MK that we all know and love

[Beryl]

I understand and respect an artist that does not want to repeat himself and leaves out things in a style that have been covered by him in the past. It's a good thing. Maybe MK wanted to explore horns and went for it all the way. But this is just plain insane. Quality-wise, there is no question about it. This song is way better than half of the album

[Dutchessy]

Think about all the songs he may have ditched in the past and we are unaware of / we will never hear...

I'm glad this one is released in the end
