I suspect this will be the last of the EBX series now.
The singles from 'Light At The End Of The World' and beyond are all already available to download as full EPs, and were each updated with tracks amalgamated into that format some time ago, despite some not originally being available like that.
The EBX sets have now basically caught up with the time when digital downloads became more consistent and the norm.
It's sort of part the same reason we only got EBX 1 -4 as physical formats I think. Those had a philosophy of bringing a lot of material to CD that hadn't been available in that format, which coincided pretty much with the POP First 20 Hits era. Thereafter, from 'Always' onwards, CD had become the dominant format anyway, so it was all already on CD.
