I second that. I'd say that even if you're going to have just one TT installment, be it Vol. 38. Outstanding!!! Loved the version of "Dolphin Smile" there and other great rarities such as "Sunnyvale", "A Time For Heroes" and even the instrumental versions of "Smile" and "Tyger".
Also, in no particular order...
TT Vol. 80: Assorted Secrets IV (if you loved the music from the previous official TD site plus other really amazing rarities, you'll find it all here).
TT Vol. 12: Croydon '82 (the extended "Logos").
TT Vol. 17: East Berlin '80 (great pieces from a radio broadcast, I think).
TT Vol. 19: Paris '76 (a MUST have if you love the Baumann days. Very, very long and nice landscapes).
TT Vol. 21: Detroit '92 (the "Rockoon" promotion tour, I guess).
TT Vol. 22: Orange '75 (again the classic period).
TT Vol. 36: Assorted Secrets I (great, GREAT rare material, especially "Underground End Titles" and "Ultima Thule Improvisation". Man, that was amazing!).
TT Vol. 57: Los Angeles '95 (not the best sound quality, but worth it. Loved that the rare "Quasar" is featured there).
TT Vol. 73: Soundtrax (the only one I've ever lost and could never get back and I still regret it because you can't even download it anymore. It contains some great rare material such as the soundtracks from "Vision Quest", "The Switch" and "Mandala" all in one.)
