They're repackaging them so they can be released as a new product. It's one of those attempts to keep Mike's music in the eyes of music buyers (as they may pay more attention to a new release, as would shops). Packaging them together also has the effect of making people buy two albums at once...
The price is cheap as well - I paid a similar price for each of those albums on their own. They may be doing this to shift copies of albums which aren't selling...
I'd not be annoyed at Warner for it. They are a business and at the end of the day, their aim is to make money. Them packaging these albums together is, to me at least, no worse than when supermarkets do a 'buy one of these and get one of those half price' deals (if you get what I mean). Sure it's the same old products, but if you happen to want those products, then it's a good deal for you and from their point of view, they may be getting you to buy something you'd not have bought otherwise, and they're clearing their shelves faster.
