I probably would buy "Salute" and "Old Dan's Records" on CD if available. They are not totally worthless albums, and I didn't mean to imply that they were. The albums "Cold On The Shoulder" and "Endless Wire" may have joined the Final Four if it weren't for the fact that they benefitted from having followed hit LP's "Sundown" and "Summertime Dream". A lot of casual fans bought those LP's thinking that the albums would score big. They didn't even though "Slide On Over" has a very similar beat, chord structure and orchestration to "Sundown". Truth be told I was never crazy about "Sundown", but I know it has to be included in any "collection" that WB releases. As far as combining "Dream Street Rose" and "Shadows" I could really go for that! I think my personal life was going much better when "Shadows" was released so for that reason, I tend to like it a bit better.
