Obviously quite an eclectic collection - a few of things I noticed:

I didn't know The Vipers' "No Other Baby" was a George Martin production! Paul McCartney covered the song on "Run Devil Run" and I recall that in interviews at the time he stated that it was a song that he had heard years ago but had no idea who it was by - turns out George Martin produced it!

No tracks by Ultravox - George produced "Quartet", one their most successful albums (particularly successful in the US), which included "Reap the Wild Wind", "Hymn", Visions in Blue" and "We Came To Dance". [EDIT: there is an Ultravox track - see DaveRam's reply - AL]

The other thing I noticed from the track listing is that "Sun Arise" by Rolf Harris is on there twice - discs 1 and 5!

There is one Ultravox track "Hymn " it's on cd six between Ebony and Ivory and Say Say Say .
Yes i'm puzzeld by The Vipers " No Other Baby " you would have thought Paul would have mentioned it been a George Martin production ? even on the commentary for The McCartney Years when Paul talks about the song he does'nt mention it ,very strange  ::)

Cheers - I didn't spot that, thought it was odd there were no tracks! :)

I wonder if Macca is aware "No Other Baby" is a George Martin production!

Especially since this box was released in 2001.
