"way way back years and years ago there was a rumor of a real cool poetess making noise that some called incomprehensible but made absolute sense to alotta us who were outside. this set is, acourse, her best work, w/ obscure stuff on every cd. this is rock/n/roll at its best. the run on poetry is superb. this is essential.radio ethiopia is my current fave..."
5 essential discs however you get them

"One thing that appears to be missing here is mention that this is a collection of the albums Horses, Radio Ethiopia, Easter, Wave and Dream Of Life in digitally remastered form, and with the odd extra track on them. Looking at the descriptions of the current CDs of these albums, they're probably the ones you can get singly now (as opposed to the original versions without the extra bonus tracks). The additional "Disc 6" is tracks from the 5 albums, plus 2 tracks from "Gone Again". Of course, you do also get a nice box for them, and the words "limited edition" on it, and at $.. it's no more expensive than the 5 albums."

"This six disc collection is simply six of her already released albums in one big collection. However, it has all been remastered perfectly. There are also great bonus cuts and 'live' material that was hard to find before this. I could listen to the "Horses" medley all night, but this set is the ultimate and if you're a fan - a requirement!"
All in all really good product/service
