You're missing a lot that was done on the radio shows, but those aren't on any commercial box sets.

You're missing a lot that was done on the radio shows, but those aren't on any commercial box sets. Actually, the Voice On Air is "a historic 100+ track, 4-CD deluxe box set culled from an invaluable collection of rare radio broadcasts and rehearsals immaculately restored from the original recording masters for unprecedented high-fidelity sound." It sounds fantastic with great clarity and selection. I figured it would be from good sources. The whole show is valuable, though, to people like me. And it might not have the silly stuff. Does it have him doing The Woody Woodpecker Song?

The Capitol era is where the puddle gets pretty muddy, for the reasons that Onya just mentioned. I've done more than a little reading about the issues and, even though the Norberg remasters are mostly disliked, there are a few people out there (apparently) who are okay with them. Conversely, there is a small percentage of listeners who (again, apparently) take issue with the Walsh remasters (something about the artificial widening of the stereo field, I think--or perhaps added reverb... I can't exactly recall). Eee-Dee mentioned that she had the 3-disc Capitol set and the 4-disc Capitol Singles set, so I would say for the time being she's got that era nicely covered--not completely, by any means, but I'm not sure she was talking about being a completist anyway. Eee-Dee, do you have any interest in the James or Dorsey eras?
