Some top-notch music contained within, but it does seem to be the ultimate example of selling music for high prices to people who already own it. Six of the eight discs are readily available & the other two (plus the record, depending on what’s on it) are the only thing of interest to people will to plonk down a few hundred dollars. And no, I’m not going to pay that much money for one cd, one dvd & one record I don’t already own.
A very puzzling release, I must say.
