  2. I agree with the comments here. I am not interested in a vinyl box.
    I would be interested in a cd box, but only if there is some guarantee that the sound quality has been improved. The sound is horribly compressed on these recordings. I even bought one on vinyl, just in case it would not be as badly compressed as the cd:s are. But guess what? The vinyl is made of the same compressed master tape as the cd. So what I am saying is that I am not falling for this again. The best would be, a non compressed version, on blu-ray audio.

  3. At least Solitary Man was released with a wonderful interview disc, in my memory it was the standard version in Germany. Here it seems to be omitted. My shelf is full with all american recordings and the (indeed wunderful) unearthed box. So there are not many reason to buy the stuff again.

  5. Really wish they would do a CD version of this which I would be very interested in. I’m not a vinyl head and am still waiting for the Blondie and Jam one’s they did on vinyl recently to put in a cd box.

    1. A very good remark. It’s strange the outtakes (however, same high quality songs!) are to get in ‘Unearthed’, a very fine box set with a beautiful hardback book, all housed in a cloth covered slipcase. The six great American Recordings albums of Johnny Cash are however only to find in regular jewel cases…. Mister Rick Rubin, please, take notice!
