So no, it's not every version. 4 Discs are taken up with 2 different completions of the 9th, and there are two choral discs - I can vouch for the Mass No.3, which is a truly magnificent recording in a superbly apt acoustic. Of especial interest is the 1874 3rd, which is closely similar to 1873 but with richer orchestration and contrapuntal textures etc, especially in the 1st movement. It's probably my favourite Bruckner 3 of all.
(And if you think the Haas 1890 8th is a "mixed version", get a load of Carraghan's Variant of 1888! Luckily, it is a wonderful performance anyway)
